The Doctrine of Transcendental Magic

Publiziert am 6. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Doctrine of Transcendental Magic – Eliphas Levi

This work is in two parts: in this one we establish the kabalistic and magical doctrine in its entirety; the other one, called “The Ritual of Transcendental Magic”, is consecrated to the cultus, that is, to Ceremonial Magic. The one is that which the ancient sages termed the Clavicle, the other that which people on the country-side still call the Grimoire. The numbers and subjects of the chapters which correspond in both parts, are in no sense arbitrary, and are all indicated in the great universal key, of which we give for the first time a complete and adequate explanation. Let this work now go its way where it will and become … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Book of Jubilees

Publiziert am 5. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Book of Jubilees – Unknown Authors

The Book of Jubilees is the most advanced pre-Christian representative of the Midrashic tendency, which had already been at work in the Old Testament Chronicles. As the chronicler had rewritten the history of Israel and Judah from the standpoint of the Priests’ Code, so our author re-edited from the Pharisaic standpoint of his time the history of the world from the creation to the publication of the Law on Sinai. His work constitutes the oldest commentary in the world on Genesis and part of Exodus, an enlarged Targum on these books, in which difficulties in the biblical narration are solved, gaps supplied, dogmatically offensive elements removed and the genuine spirit of later Judaism … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Little Flowers Of St. Francis

Publiziert am 4. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Little Flowers Of St. Francis – St. Francis of Assisi

The Little Flowers of St. Francis (Italian Fioretti di San Francesco) is a florilegium (excerpts of his body of work) on the life of Saint Francis of Assisi which was composed at the end of the 14th century. The anonymous Italian text, almost certainly by a Tuscan author, is a version of the Latin Actus beati Francisci et sociorum eius, of which the earliest extant manuscript is one of 1390 AD. Luke Wadding ascribes the text to Fra. Ugolino da Santa Maria, whose name occurs three times in the Actus.

The Sacred Magic Of Abramelin The Mage

Publiziert am 27. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

The Sacred Magic Of Abramelin The Mage – S. L. MacGregor Mathers

This remarkable grimoire was translated by S.L.M. Mathers from a 15th century French mauscript. This text has had a huge influence on modern ceremonial magic, and has been cited as a primary influence on Aleister Crowley. Abraham of Würzburg, a cabalist and scholar of magic, describes a quest for the secret teachings which culminated in Egypt, where he encountered the magician Abramelin, who taught him his system in detail. The procedure involves many months of purification, followed by the invocation of good and evil spirits to accomplish some very worldly goals, including acquisition of treasure and love, travel through the air and under water, and raising armies out … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Commentary on the Song of Songs

Publiziert am 26. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

Commentary on the Song of Songs – Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

The Song of Songs is a book of the Hebrew Bible, also known as Canticle of Canticles or simply Canticles. St. Bernard wrote 43 beautiful sermons on this book. He interprets the song of songs in reference to the love between God and the soul. God is deeply in love with us, and wills our love in return. This love between the soul and God, which is the most intimate love possible, is expressed in the analogy of bride and bridegroom, where the intimacy of love is especially expressed.
