The Arbatel: Magic of the Ancients - Arbatel De magia veterum - published in 1575 represents a dramatic shift in magical theory and practice. Both looking back to the Olympic Planetary Spirits of the ancient Hellenistic Pagan World but also very modern for the time, embracing both Calvinism and the alchemic and magical ideas of Paracelsus. This grimoire, or magical handbook, also provides one of the most clear and beneficent forms of magic ever developed, marked by simple piety, streamlined ritual and one's ethical duty to God, Self & Neighbors. Indeed, virtually every magical handbook published after would, in some way, be influenced by it's magic: from Dr. John Dee's Enochian sessions, the early Rosicrucians & the African magical traditions of the Caribbean and North America. Join me as I explore this fascinating, revolutionary and influential book of magical theory and practice!
