A witch's handbook from the trial records of the Venetian
Inquisition. This grimoire, or handbook of magic, was confiscated
by the Venetian Inquisition in 1636 from practicing witches. After
decades of searching for this elusive text, I now have the pleasure
of presenting and translating it here for the first time. It
contains their secret techniques for dealing with the more
dangerous spirits or daemons, intentionally scattered and hidden
within a collection of "secrets" comprising many detailed examples.
Together these provide enough clues to enable practitioners to
create their own spells for working with all the spirits cataloged.
It distinguishes itself as a supplement to the better known
Clavicula or Key of Solomon; whereas that text focuses on aerial
spirits, this one focuses on chthonic spirits. This text is one of
the primary original sources for the popular Grimorium Verum.
"The Clavis or Key to the Magic of Solomon" is one of several
notebooks from the estate of Ebenezer Sibley, transcribed under the
direction of Frederic Hockley (1808-1885). Sibley was a prominent
physician and an influential author, who complemented his
scientific studies with writings on the "deeper truths" including
magic, astrology, alchemy, and hypnotherapy. Both Sibley and
Hockley were major inspirations in the occult revival of the past
two centuries, influencing A.E. Waite, S.L. Mathers, Aleister
Crowley, as well as the Golden Dawn, Rosicrucian, and Masonic
movements. This collection reflects Sibley's teachings on the
practical use of celestial influences and harmonies. "The Clavis"
contains clear and systematic instructions for constructing magical
tools and pentacles for many practical purposes. It includes eight
separate magical texts: The Mysterious Ring, Experiments of the
Spirits, Birto, Vassago, Agares, Bealpharos, The Wheel of Wisdom,
and the Complete Book of Magic Science. The manuscript reproduced
here is the most accurate and complete known, very beautifully and
carefully written complete with extraordinary hand-colored seals
and colored handwritten text. 282 color pages with a color fold-out
and a huge idex.
For people interested in folk magic. The Sixth and Seventh Books of
Moses, arguably one of the most popular magick books ever
published, contains two secret apocrypha ascribed to Moses, perhaps
pseudepigraphically. The book consists of a collection of
texts,which claim to explain the magick Moses used to win the
biblical magick contest with the Egyptian priest-magicians, part
the Red Sea, and perform other miraculous feats. It includes
instruction in the form of invocations, magick words, and seals for
calling upon the angels to affect worldly ends, from the sublime
(calling down a plague of locusts and frogs upon your enemy) to the
mundane (getting more money). Many manuscripts and printed pamphlet
versions circulated in Germany in the 1800s, and an English
translation by Johann Scheible first appeared in New York in 1880
that had not been corrected or re-edited until now. In creating
this restored, corrected edition, Joseph Peterson drew on
Scheible's final edition of the text and his original sources. It
will be of great interest to those who have suffered through prior
editions and anyone looking for a traditional source of Western
magick. * Used in various modern traditions of American folk
magick, from Pennsylvania Dutch hexmeisters and contemporary
eclectic magicians, to voodoo practioners and African American root
workers. * Updated or fresh translations from original German,
Latin, and Hebrew sources and restoration of censored or left out
passages in earlier editions and 35 pages of text never before
translated. * Describes the biblical magick ascribed to Moses and
its application. * Extensively illustrated with over 100 magical
seals, signs, and sigils.
A magical grimoire of sigils and rituals for summoning and mastering spirits, "The Key of Solomon the King" is the most famous, or infamous, of all magick books. It has influenced everything from the revival of magick and the Western Mystery Traditions (tarot, alchemy, astrology, etc.) to fictional works such as Lovecraft's "The Necronomicon."
Purported to have been penned by King Solomon himself, the book provides instruction for incantations, rituals, and sigils used to call upon and control spirits and demons. Those practicing magick have used it extensively through the centuries, but its true origins and purpose have been lost in the mists of time.
No library of the contemporary occult student or practicing magician is complete without this tome. It remains a standard of esoteric lore by which others are measured. This edition includes a new foreword by noted esoteric scholar Joseph Peterson.
