WORKS ON MAGIC
 

Arbatel of Magic

In Latin, published at Basle, 1575 (Arbatel, De Magia Veterum, Basileae, 1575, the mottoes on the title are Summum Sapientiae Studium and In omnibus consule Dominum, et nihil cogites, dicas, facias, quod tibi Deus non consuluerit). While the title or author "Arbatel" is Hebrew, the work is more of Christian origin than of Judaic. [* L'Arbre des batailles ???jpo]  Though the book claims nine sections it is likely that only the existant first was ever written. The first book is entitled "Isagoge" or essential or fundamental instruction. It was translated into German in 1686.

There is a version translated by Robert Turner in 1655 as "Arbatel of  Magick."  An electronic copy of this work was created by Benjamin Rowe, Auguste 1999.

After such a graniose title it claims to have been pubished in Egypt in 740 which really means Rome in 1740. Then again it may have been written in the mid-nineteenth century. It has a bit of story to it, with the main persona, a soldier, travelling to Egypt, captured by the Old Man of the Pyramid, and taught many magical secrets.

Everything is yours; I am reaching the end of my career, and I shall be happy to leave these earthly treasures in your possession. -this fortune is not the result of greed, but is, rather, a by product of my studies of certain Occult Sciences. My true treasure, the great boon which has been granted to me by the Divine Being, is to penetrate the secrets of Nature. I can command the Powers that populate the Earth and Space that are not visible to ordinary men. -The Science of the Magicians and the language of the hieroglyphics which holds some of its many keys, have been lost over the centuries by the downfall of man. I am the guardian. I will impart precious confidences to you, and together we will read the characters traced on the pyramids which have been the despair of scholars and before which they have paled for many centuries..."

The Book of Death

A volume in which the Devil, during the Sabbat, listed the names of the participants.

The Book of Enoch the Prophet

A "lost book" which was discovered in Ethiopia in 1773 by Scottish explorer James Bruce. Written in the First of second century B. C., the book was a very influential source for early Jewish and Christian thinkers. Several familiar themes, such as the introduction of evil into the world by "fallen angels," the Messianic age, the New Jerusalem, The Resurrection and the Final Judgement were all first written here.   Translated from the original Ethiopian Coptic script, it is a rare and important resource that was suppressed by the early church and thought destroyed.

The Secret Grimoire of Turiel

Being a System of Ceremonial Magic of the Sixteenth Century
Marius Malchus
This is a unique opportunity to obtain a New issue of this Very Obscure Occult Treatise. Recommended for the Adept or Serious Student of Occult Sciences.
     from the editor     ...the original dated 1518, written in Latin, and a copy written in English, a translation from the original. The original copy was in fragments, almost worn away, but the copy was intact.
     I told the guide the original was not worth taking, but I would buy the cross and the copy. He agreed to this, and thus I became the possessor of the Grimoire. Since 1927 I have rewritten the manuscript owing to the fact that I was on the move so often, and for the sake of convenience the new writing was entered into a notebook of convenient size, and the copy purchased in Las Palmas I destroyed. I have reason to believe that the present manuscript is the only one in existence. In publishing same I feel sure that it will appeal to all students of occultism as an additional item of interest.
     "It has much to commend it. Though small in volume it is a complete system of Ceremonial Magic."
     The former owner admitted that he had made use of the formula contained therein. For his experiments in the Art he, a former priest, had been defrocked . This he said was the reason why the two priests in the Cathedral had not acknowledged his smile. -MARIUS MALCHUS -Westminster, 1954.
