Before Douce manuscript 116 landed in Oxford's Bodleian Library,
this compilation of magical operations passed through the hands of
four occult philosophers who recorded charms, seals, talismans, and
magical lore over the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth
centuries. Through expert annotations and translations of the
original English, Latin, and Welsh content, Daniel Harms has made
this untitled volume accessible to all collectors with this new
hardcover book. The Book of Four Occult Philosophers reveals the
secrets Robert Cross Smith (Raphael), Olivia Serres (Princess
Olive), Thomas Harrington, and an unknown individual credited as
'W.' recorded over three centuries. This compendium of ceremonial
magic contains historical spells, recipes, and rituals alongside
passages about fairies, astrology, numerology, demon conjuring, and
more. With red and black text and hundreds of illustrations by S.
Aldarnay, this magical miscellany is the perfect addition to any
collection of treasured occult works.
Author and illustrator S. Aldarnay presents each of the Pentacles
given in the Key of Solomon, redrawn and with explanations of the
divine names, the names of spirits, as well as the vesicles in
English, Latin and Hebrew, in an attempt to make the individual's
use of the seals more effective. By presenting the pentacles in
full the author hopes that people will be inclined to experiment
more with them, as the seals are able to bridge the gap between the
high magic of angelic conjuration and divine names, and the folk
magic which utilizes psalms and spiritual assistance for more day
to day concerns.
