• Asaph Ben Berechiah - Grand Key of Solomon the King: Ancient Handbook For Angel Evocation and Djinn Summoning

  Downloaded: 38 times | Size: 210 pages | Add to wishlist | Download for @300 credits

  The enchanting tales of 1001 Arabian Nights and the mysterious magical societies of the Moors share a legendary figure. He is no other than Asaph Ben Berechiah, the Vizier of King Solomon himself. According to Islamic tradition, this Arabian Merlin bested a djinn in a magical contest, teleporting Queen Sheeba's throne in the blink of an eye, using his knowledge of the Great Name.
  
  
  
  Through the ages masters of the forbidden art of djinn evocation have shared with their disciples in secrecy an extensive oral tradition of rituals, incantations, and magical implements belonging to Asaph Ben Berechiah. Fragments of these arcane mysteries could be found in the writing of master occultists from the Middle Ages, the likes of Ahmed al-Buni. Few and far between, many have treasured what little fragments of this oral tradition could be found. There were also whispers of a grimoire compiled by an anonymous Arabian wizard brimming with secrets of the magic of Asaph Ben Berechiah. Known only as Ajnas, its reputation grew, but few possessed it. It has resurfaced in recent years and remains one of the most popular guides to angelic and djinn evocation in the land of the Arabian nights. O seeker of the art of the masters, you needn't wait centuries for this important grimoire to be available in English as has happened with Ghayat al-Hakim (Picatrix). Right now, you are beholding an accurate and complete translation of Ajnas waiting for its secrets to be unlocked by the disciples of today and the masters of tomorrow.

• Greer and Warnock - The Picatrix (Liber Rubeus Edition)

  Downloaded: 29 times | Size: 312 pages | Add to wishlist | Download for @500 credits

  The Liber Rubeus adds a rather macabre section on the creation of a divinatory head, justifying its alternative title as the Liber Sanguinis "the Book of Blood". Printing of Liber Rubeus orders will only be initiated when the Moon is in her 5th Mansion, appropriate as a Mansion for divination, depicting a severed head. Each Mansion set of the Liber Rubeus will bear the individual Mansion date of its initiation.But Picatrix goes beyond what you would expect from a grimoire, it's just not sets of practical recipes, though lord knows there is lots and lots of practical info. Picatrix explains Hermetic and Neo-platonic philosophy and how talismans work, logically and coherently. This is also why this book was prized by the highest of high mages. As John likes to say, Picatrix truly represents the rocket science of the day. Astrological magic is complex, but this complexity gives it such great scope and great power. Picatrix puts it all right in front of you! Finally the secrets of astrological magic are revealed!Both Greer and Warnock are experienced ceremonial magicians and Warnock is the leading contemporary astrological magician. Picatrix explains how to make hundreds of different talismans. This is the source that all of the Renaissance mages used for their astrological talismans, Mansions of the Moon, planetary talismans, house based talismans, multiple sets of decan talismans, it's all there!
