The Sworn Book of Honorius: Liber Iuratus Honorii - Joseph Peterson

Descriere The Sworn Book of Honorius: Liber Iuratus Honorii - Joseph Peterson

\n \nAs the title testifies, students were sworn to secrecy before being given access to this magic text, and only a few manuscripts have survived. Bits of its teachings, such as the use of the magic whistle for summoning spirits, are alluded to in other texts. Another key element of its ritual, the elaborate Seal of God, has been found in texts and amulets throughout Europe.\n \nInterest in The Sworn Book of Honorius has grown in recent years, yet no modern translations have been attempted--until now.\n \nPurporting to preserve the magic of Solomon in the face of intense persecution by religious authorities, this text includes one of the oldest and most detailed magic rituals. It contains a complete system of magic including how to attain the divine vision, communicate with holy angels, and control aerial, earthly, and infernal spirits for practical gain.\n \nLargely ignored by historians until recently, this text is an important witness to the transmission of Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism to European Hermeticists.\n
