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!

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! Here is even more information on Picatrix.


And now, finally all four books of Picatrix, are laid out clearly and cogently for you in one volume in English with a translation based on the Latin critical edition edited by David Pingree, plus spirit names in Arabic! Pingree didn't just use one manuscript, he used over 20, going line by line through every one and comparing all of these manuscripts word by word. The critical edition is longer and has much more material than any one manuscript. Now, you, too can have a copy of the English translation of the Latin Picatrix.

Celestial Gems & Sigils - De Lapidibus & Liber Sigillorum - Talismanic Lapidaries of Damigeron and Techel - Astrological Magic


ORDER Celestial Gems & Sigils

Celestial Gems & Sigils is a comprehensive translation of the variant manuscripts of De Lapidibus, "On Stones" and the Liber Sigillorum, "the Book of Sigils" the most important medieval magical lapidaries. Lapidaries are key esoteric texts giving the physical characteristics as well as medical, magical and spiritual powers of stones and minerals. While the manuscripts used for the translation date to the Middle Ages, the origin of these texts is much older. Lost in the mists of antiquity they are a priceless source of ancient esoteric lore. The translator, Regulus Hess, consulted many sources and parallel texts to provide a comprehensive and definitive edition of De Lapidibus and the Liber Sigillorum with over 400 footnotes and an exhaustive discussion of the relevant sources. The wisdom of the ancients regarding the occult virtues and magical powers of over 100 gems and minerals is now laid open in Celestial Gems & Sigils.


But in addition to the properties of stones, Celestial Gems & Sigils provides extensive astrological attributions and magical talismanic images. An astrological magic commentary is provided by Christopher Warnock, who has been called "the father of the traditional astrological magic revival" and the "elder statesman" of astrological magic and has written and published many books on astrological magic and traditional astrology. In his commentary Warnock traces the use of images from the Liber Sigillorum for astrological talismans in Picatrix and Cornelius Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy. Also included is Warnock' Grimoire of the Seven Planets, containing talisman recipes inspired by the Liber Sigillorum with special talismanic images by Holly Ellis.

Warnock explains how contemporary practitioners of medieval/Renaissance astrological magic can use the Liber Sigillorum & the Grimoire of the Seven Planets to create astrological talismans that are new, yet firmly within the tradition. Celestial Gems & Sigils is an exciting product of the 21st century Hermetic Renaissance of esoteric arts, yet firmly rooted in this ancient tradition.

Astral High Magic - Thabit Ibn Qurra's De Imaginibus - Astrological Magic



De Imaginibus, "On Images" is, after Picatrix, the most important text for medieval and Renaissance astrological magic. De Imaginibus is accepted as the work of the Harranian Sabian sage Thabit Ibn Qurra. Written in the 9th century A.D. and the product of the Neoplatonic and Hermetic wisdom of the Harranian Sabians, the book was a key source for the Picatrix as well as being consulted by Albertus Magnus, Marsilio Ficino and Cornelius Agrippa.

De Imaginibus represents the height of astrological magic technique and goes far beyond merely planetary talismans in using the full range of traditional astrological technique developed by the sophisticated Harranian Sabians. De Imaginibus explains how to create house based talismans, how to use horary questions to forecast and anchor talismans and how to tune talismans to individual natal charts.


The translator, John Michael Greer, is a noted Latinist and esoteric author. He is the co-translator of the Complete Picatrix. This translation was made from Francis Carmody's Latin critical edition of the astronomical works of Thabit Ibn Qurra and contains two variant texts along with extensive commentary by Christopher Warnock, the leading astrological magician and includes examples of talisman elections using Thabit's methods.

The translation contains two complete variant manuscripts of De Imaginibus, plus the shorter paraphrase contained in Cornelius Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy plus an updated commentary by Christopher Warnock, a leading contemporary practitioner of traditional astrological magic. This edition also contains beautiful illustrations by the artist and contemporary mage Robert Place. This is an entirely revised translation from the earlier Renaissance Astrology edition of De Imaginibus translated by Christopher Warnock.

De Imaginibus is divided in the the following nine chapters:
On the Expulsion of Scorpions and Other Pests
Example of the Destruction of a City
Images for Receiving Wealth from Another
Images for Profit from your own Efforts
Of Principalities and Prelacies
Conversion of the King to Affection or Displaying Fellowship
Fourth Part: Images for Concord and Separation and Love Between Two People
The Form in Which the Image is Cast

The commentary explains not only the practical application of the teachings of De Imaginibus on the preparation of talismans, but also the deeper philosophical and spiritual significance of the work, which truly is an important guide to Hermeticism as a Practical Path to Gnosis, the mystic union with the Divine.

John Michael Greer's translation of Astral High Magic: De Imaginibus of Thabit Ibn Qurra is 73 pages, in 6 inch by 9 inch print on demand black and white in the Amazon paperback edition witb a list price of $19.95 or the or Amazon Kindle editions for $9.99.

Johnannes Angelus Astrological Optics Natal Astrology & Astrological Magic



Johannes Angelus' Astrological Optics, published in 1655, is a fascinating look at traditional natal astrology. What is most interesting about it is the listing of images for each of the 360 degrees of the Zodiac. In the 9th degree of Libra, for example, the image is a man holding a sword over his head in his right hand. "It signifies a litigious person." Astrological Optics at 33. By comparing the degree rising in a natal chart we can get useful information about the person and their character. However, this 360 degree listing has an even more enthralling use, as the basis for personalized talismans. By using these degree images we can personalize and focus a talisman to a very degree of a person's natal chart. Fantastic!

As a bonus Astrological Optics also provides a complete description of the meaning of each of the 7 planets in the 12 houses and the 12 signs, plus the aspects of each planet with Mercury and the meaning of the Ascendant in each of the 12 signs. But don't take my word for it Astrological Optics comes highly recommended by the master astrologer, William Lilly!

Kyranides / Cyranides Hermetic & Talismanic Magic



The book of natural and talismanic magic known as the Kyranides or Cyranides, is one of the most important works of technical Hermetica, the practical magical, astrological and alchemical works attributed to the sage Hermes Trismegistus. The eminent scholar of Hermeticism, Garth Fowden, describes the Kyranides as the most important source for the Hermetic doctrine of the occult virtues and powers. The Kyranides is a compilation of several earlier works, notably the treatise of Harpocration and is truly an ancient text, dating to between the 2nd and 4th centuries A.D.

The Kyranides is divided into four books, loosely organized by the letters of the Greek alphabet. Each chapter contains the magical and occult properties of animals, birds, plants and stones beginning with that letter, plus the first book includes instructions for talismans using the appropriate plants, animals and stones. This translation of the Cyranides was made in 1685 and is the only complete translation available in English of this key Hermetic text.

This is an an English translation, published in 1698, of Israel Hibner's Mysterium Sigillorum, Herbarum and Lapidum, "The Mysteries of Sigils, Herbs and Stones."

Hibner's Mysterium Sigillorum is a very rare example of a text in English on astrological magic that was actually published rather than circulating in manuscript. It is also a very unusual example of a very late astrological magic text coming very near the end of the 17th century.

The book includes: the Diseases of the Planets; Herbs, Roots and Trees of the Planets and the Invention, Knowledge and Uses of Herbs. The most interesting section is on the sigils of the seven planets. Hibner includes unique illustrations and instructions for constructing planetary talismans using the visible images of the planets.

Blagrave's Introduction to Astrology Horary, Electional & Natal



Joseph Blagrave's Introduction to Astrology was first published in 1682. It is an excellent introduction to the basics of traditional astrology and has a useful and complete section on horary astrology.

Its most important feature, however, is a fascinating section on electional astrology with much new and exciting material. Blagrave explains, for example, how to fit the chart to a particular person, in order to properly elect an auspicious time to assist or influence them.

Blagrave also deals with the rectification of natal charts using primary directions and with solar revolutions and transits.

William Thrasher's Jubar Astrologicum, published in 1671, provides a complete introduction to the basics of traditional astrology, explaining the essential dignity system, aspects, the assignment of houses and other key facets common to all types of traditional astrology.

In addition, however, Jubar Astrologicum also gives complete instructions for answering horary questions for each of the twelve houses, including questions of wealth, property, birth, illness, marriage, partnership, death, travel, career and even witchcraft and curses.

One of the most useful features of Jubar Astrologicum is Thrasher's delineation of numerous example charts, providing invaluable practical insight to horary analysis. Like all 17th century authors on horary astrology Thrasher is clearly indebted to William Lilly, but Jubar Astrologicum contains much of interest for students of traditional astrology.

John Partridge's Mikropanastron, published in 1679, gives an excellent introduction to the basics of traditional astrology, and quickly jumping into horary. partridge then passes onto natal astrology, packing in detailed information on all areas of the birth chart. Partridge also gives useful instruction on directions in the natal chart and a catalog of fixed stars.

Partridge gives a particularly useful look at elections, carefully distinguishing between those elections that need to take into consideration the natal chart of the user and those that can be profitably made without a natal chart/ Perhaps my favorite part of Mikropanastron is Partridge's extensive listing of aphorisms, short explanatory sayings, that were a favorite of our illustrious predecessors. He includes his own aphorisms for elections, Gadbury's natal aphorisms, plus 100 aphorisms of Hermes, 100 aphorisms of Bethem, an extra hundred aphorisms plus the famous Centiloquium attributed to Ptolemy!
