A Unio Mystica




     By critically examining the patterns of history in the fields of science, politics and spirituality we can better understand the mechanics and interrelation of each to know how to better navigate or possibly even avoid many of the recurring pitfalls, brick walls and stagnancies along the helical axle of historical progress toward real advancement. By surveying the development of each in both respects of their contributions as well as their setbacks we can better understand our present circumstances and potential solutions.

     In his book The Sleepwalkers: A History of Man's Changing Vision of the Universe Arthur Koestler goes through the rise of modern science from its origins with the Babylonians to relatively recent times with one of the apparent points showing how mankind has been at many scientific, social and spiritual standstills, often at the time thought to be the height of scientific capacity or conversely the end of human history. It is usually by way of strong-willed intellectuals who felt the drive (or in some cases, a pull) to go against the grain of the commonly accepted opinions of the time, often times at the expense of their life for 'heresy.' We can then see that what were called 'heretics' and 'witches' of the past, were various martyrs, activists, suffragists, etc. The rigidity in which we view and maintain compartmentalization over these fields is a bar from their progress, which is neither scientific, politically correct, nor very effective.
     The same fundamental constituents of the philosophies of both science and magick is number. In speaking about Pythagoras as "the founder of a new religious philosophy, and the founder of Science, as the word is understood today" (pg. 26), Arthur Koestler goes on to say:
"Sweetness does not enter the Pythagorean universe. But it contains one of the most powerful tonics ever administered to the human brain. It lies in the Pythagorean tenets that "philosophy is the highest music", and that the highest form of philosophy is concerned with numbers: for ultimately "all things are numbers". The meaning of this oft-quoted saying may perhaps be paraphrased thus: "all things have form, all things are form; and all forms can be defined by numbers". Thus the form of the square corresponds to a "square number", i.e. 16 = 4 x 4, whereas 12 is an oblong number, and 6 a triangular number:
      Numbers were regarded by the Pythagoreans as patterns of dots which form characteristic figures, as on the sides of a dice; and though we use arabic symbols, which have no resemblance to these dot-patterns, we still call numbers "figures", i.e. shapes.
     Between these number shapes unexpected and marvellous relations were found to exist. For instance, the series of "square numbers" was formed simply by the addition of successive odd numbers: 1 + 3 = 4 + 5 = 9 + 7 = 16 + 9 = 25, and so forth:
      The addition of even numbers formed "oblong numbers", where the ratio of the sides represented exactly the concordant intervals of the musical octave: 2 (2 : 1, octave)  + 4 = 6 (3 : 2, fifth) + 6 = 12 (4 : 3, fourth).

     In a similar manner, "cubic" numbers and "pyramidal" numbers were obtained. Mnesarchos had been a gem engraver, so Pythagoras in his youth must have been familiar with crystals whose form imitated those of pure number-shapes: quartz the pyramid and double-pyramid, beryl the hexagon, garnet the dodcaeder. It all went to show that Reality could be reduced to number-series and number ratios, if only the rules of the game were known. To discover these was the chief task of the Philosophos, the Lover of Wisdom.

     An example of the magic of numbers is the famous theorem by which alone Pythagoras is consciously remembered today - the visible peak of the submerged iceberg.* (*Ironically, Pythagoras seems to have no complete proof of the Pythagorean theorem.) There is no obvious relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right-angled triangle; but if we build a square over each side, the areas of the two smaller squares will exactly equal the area of the larger. If such wonderfully ordered laws, hitherto hidden from the human eye, could be discovered by the contemplation of number-shapes, was it not legitimate to hope that soon all secrets of the universe would be revealed through them? Numbers were not thrown into the world at random; they arranged themselves into balanced patterns, like the shapes of crystals and the concordant intervals of the scale, according to the universal laws of harmony." -pages 29-31

     By thus knowing the patterns and laws of the mechanisms that cause the precipitation of mentation, thought, and emotion the Magician can better direct the process with his Will, which it must be said again, is sometimes actually at odds with his wants and desires and is therefore above the conscious waking level of COGNITION. The word cognition derives from the Latin root cognito, meaning concealed, or of unknown identity, showing further the idea of the concealed processes which the concealed wisdom lets us better understand. Modern science has been at such a standstill in many respects as it has not been able to bridge the gap, or transcend the abyss which language is largely inadequate to fulfill, of the outer world of materialization and the inner mental palace of imagination, dreams and the storehouse of intellect and creativity from which the former precipitates. It is as if being unable to properly put the whole internal drama of which fills 90 percent of man's mind and life into words to the letter as that experienced by the consensus majority- were thrown out as if altogether unimportant and useless. As the psychoanalysts have shown, much of that is actually potentially very insightful, and as we have seen more and more do in fact provide in its refuse heap a number of keys to our present external predicaments - if, again, we were to recognize and know how to apply them. The Crystal must keep growing.

     In Crowley's system of Magick, which we have selected to be examined in detail for a reason, the aspirant or Initiate is told to pick a magickal name or motto which expresses the goal of their Great Work. It is almost rather impossible to know at the time what to expect upon taking this oath, but later many curious connections are found to be bound up in that singular formula the whole essence of your subsequent attainments, and that initial seed, or tendency ended up growing to be a driving Will-power that will more and more seem to have no definite source, with the original tendency being bound up completely in the prior and subsequent circumstances of the time.
     By also analyzing the tendencies of many ancestral and traditional rituals as similar seeds in the tapestry of the evolution of man we can also further uncover the impetūs and atavisms which form the very roots of our present systems of science, politics, and spirituality. We must be mindful not to neglect the past, no matter how tedious, boring or painful it may be to look back countless times, so as to not let those attainments, trials and errors go in vain and unlearned from. Much of that which we seek so strongly in all that is new can much more satisfactorily be gained from those who rightfully earned and presented it hundreds and thousands of years ago in their subtle words, now largely viewed as archaic. 

     I have made THE REVEALED wisdom of 666 known in a years worth of publications, and now I am applying it in various methods and seek to reveal more keys of practical value that have still for too long gone unknown, so that the power of this Hieroglyph can be further understood and obtained.
Note that there are 72 Angels which must be called upon in order to assist in conquering and controlling the 72 Demons. 72 is the number of IHVH spelled out in Triangular form, I-IH-IHV-IHVH - as well as 'THE YVD-HE-VAV-HE' spelled out. It is said that the 'tongues', or languages when confused at Babel were divided into 72, which is also the Greek word Λαλια, of 'Speech', and  really symbolizes the confusion of tongues and the fragmentation of language and ultimately the collective human psyche. This fragmentation or separation is necessary for growth and evolution, if only growth of wisdom and understanding is gained in the process. 72 is also related to the Saturnian and Lunar growth processes as hinted by the fact that the Earth's volume is 72x less than that of Saturn's, while 72x more than that of the Moon's. Being 8 x 9 we also see it is a veiled connection between the lower Ogdoad from Daath to Malkuth and the higher Ennead from Kether to Yesod wherein Daath and Malkuth are restored. 72 is also OB, Atziluth's 'Secret Nature', the Astral Light of the BINDU which is the point of nexus between the Lower and Higher, or Inner and Outer - front and back-sides of the Tree. Note also that a reduced form of the Tree of Life in Hebrew, Otz Chaim, as ATZ HIM = 72 as well as the TZ-TZM or Tzitzum, the Hebrew form of A BIG BANG. Being also 'CHANGE', it is further specifically denoted as a formula of Magick.)
         If an in-depth and meticulous perusal of the following material is effected it will be seen why the particular system of Magick is being utilized here,  as it is the single-most comprehensive, illuminating and integral of all other systems as of yet analyzed. The majority of materials have been linked either to the actual text or to information about it.

     666 veils the MAGICKAL WISDOM TRADITION and all its Gnosis. It is the Key of TRADITIONAL WITCHECRAFTE (Using the term as it was often in the 1500-1600s), also known as Sabbatic Witchcraft (and THE VALUE OF THE WITCH SABBAT).  A Sabbat is a festival for the changing of seasons, but derives from the Hebrew Shabbathai, Saturn which Saturday is named and the day of rest and end of the week. Like the Black Mass, an inversion of the Catholic Mass, the Sabbath was used to celebrate or do rituals rather than rest. The term Sabbatic Witchcraft generally refers to the more or less traditional systems which emphasize a naturalistic and ritualistic typology utilizing plants, animals, minerals, and the various applications and extrapolations thereof. Much of the fantastic imagery associated with magick and witchcraft comes from the very long held tendency to misunderstand the true nature of them as the remnants and re-calibration of various shamanic traditions and cultural-memories. Thus we see, a SHAMANIC RITUAL also holds the same value, and like the Sabbat or magickal ritual, is usually accompanied with alteration of COGNITION through 'wine & strange drugs' or in some way involving THE CIRCLE, either A CEREMONIAL CIRCLE around a central fire or the rending thereof for travel or communication beyond. (Note Saturn being god of agriculture and growth, as well as time, Chronos with the scythe, is a form of Death and the Devil, the devourer of the young, and the great initiator.)

     As a veritable Key of it All, 666 is not only the Key which unlocks LIBER L VEL LEGIS, or The Book of the Law, I have found it to unlock all Grimoires and systems and act as a key to the solution to any problem. 666 is THE BRASS VESSEL OF MAGICK, the container in which Solomon is said to have concealed the Demons, and being also both indicative of the Soul within, as well as the mirror of materialization without, it is also the formula to CONTROL DEMONS without from within. It should be understood that only with the help of the proper Angels can the Demons be adequately restrained. (See The Goetia of Dr. Rudd by Stephen Skinner and David Rankine, 2007 for an in-depth overview of Goetic science.) 666 is A SOLOMON KEY to the KNOWLEDGE OF HYGROMANCY, said to be divination of water, but in actuality is divination of and by the soul or psyche (symbolized by water), and thus A KEY OF GROWTH OF THE SOUL. To KNOW THE KEY OF SOLOMON is to possess it, and it is noteworthy that a form of the title of the Grimoire of the Key of Solomon itself, CLAVICULA SALOMINIS, is also 666 - the number of talents of Gold the King received each year.
    Further analysis of the MAGICK GRIMOIRIUM shows them all to be unified under the same Magickal Power.

     A MAGICK ARBATEL DE MAGIA VETERUM (The Latin Grimoire meaning Of the Magic of the Ancients.) OF MAGIC OF THE ANCIENTS, or THE MAGIC LIGHT OF THE ANCIENTS is also 666. SOLOMONIKAE, or KNOWLEDGE OF HYGROMANCY is concealed in the Magical Treatise of Solomon, and 666, concealing the TRUE KEYS OF MAGICK KNOWLEDGE to GROW THE SOUL & BECOME GOD is once again the formula of THE SOUL WITHIN and the CREATION OF EXISTENCE without. 666 could also be the BOOK OF THE ANGEL TURIEL'S, Turiel being one of the fallen Watchers in the Book of Enoch. Turiel is the 'rock' or 'mountain' of God, and therefore could represent the fallen stone or ShTN, the earthing or crystallizing of the Above in the Below. 666 is also THE MAGICKAL BOOK OF TURIEL DIGIT, and 666 is the means of CONTACT BY THE ANGEL TURIEL BY THIS KEY. The ARABIC SAMS AL MA’RIF, or Shams al-Ma-arif wa Lata'if al Awarif in full, The Book of the Sun of Gnosis and the Subtleties of Elevated Things also correlates with the solar-gnostic 666, key of all SOLAR-GNOSTIC KEYS. The ABANO BOOK OF 7 MAGICAL ELEMENTS, or Heptameron further unveils the 7 Rays of the Light-Breath of Ruach with Tiphareth at the center which concentrate into the outward Cube of Malkuth. To MASTER MALKUTH we are given the Intellect in order to KNOW THE KEY OF SOLOMON and the SALOMINIS KEYS all in one, 1 SOLOMON KEY: CLAVICULA SALOMINIS, in the title all along only for those with Wisdom and Understanding to Know. 

     666 is also a GALDRABOK BOOK OF MAGIC KEY, referring to the 47 SPELL WITCHCRAFT BOOK from Iceland, dating to around 1600. Also, THE RAUDSKINNA: A MAGICK BOOK which legend says is a BLACK MAGICK POWER BOOK which gives power even over Satan. (Note that 666 = CONTROL THE ANGEL SATAN (Manifestation), as well as CONTROL DEMONS (Thoughts), the primary aim of the Goetia.) It is also THE BLACK PULLET KEY, referring to the Grimoire known as La Poule Noire, or The Black Pullet, which treats primarily OF THE SCIENCE OF MAGICAL TALISMANS. 666 further denotes A CYPRIANUS, the Scandinavian legendary 'black book', THE SVARTEBOKEN MAGIC BOOK. Another version of CYPRIAN’S LIBER is known to the Portuguese, but further, 666 is also SAINT CYPRIAN’S MAGICK KEY. Being thus precise so as to reckon all Grimoires as ultimately subsumed in One, 666 is A GRIMOIRE OF MAAT, or Truth- the meaning of the common Grimorium Verum. Conversely, it is also A GRIMOIRE OF EVIL. It is both BLACK MAGE & THE RED DRAGON - the Subject and Object, Dreamer and Dream, God and Creation, Mage and Book. Another actual Grimoire of 'evil' is the POPE’S BLACK BOOK OF MAGICK, the Sworn Book of Honorius, or A POPE'S HIDDEN JURATUS. Another Grimoire attributed to a Pope is A MAGIC ENCHIRIDION OF LEO.


USE THE DIGITIZED MAGICK SQUARES and THE GOLD HEBREW FLOWER or THE LETTER NUMBER KEY-WHEEL (A MAGICAL ROSE WITH 22 PETALS) for uncoding and encoding the YANTRA'S KEYS as THE KEY-MAP OF THE SIGIL & TALISMAN MAGICK.
     MOSES’ HIDDEN OCCULT BOOKS (The 6-7-8-9-10th books of Moses) are also found correspondent, as well as another Arabic text of THE HIDDEN AIM OF THE SAGE AND THE GOAL OF THE WISE, The Ghayat Al-Hakim or Picatrix. (Note that AL-H'KIM means 'All-Wise', and = 666 with Mem final, 600While not necessarily Grimoires, the founding Rosicrucian texts, the Fama Fraternitatis as well as Confessio Fraternitatis are both subsumed under 666 in the FAMA FRATERNITATIS VALUE and the MANIFESTO OF CONFESSIO. Translator Adam McLean in The Steganographia of Johannes Trithemius, maintains that the Latin Steganographia conceals a "grimoire of CABALISTIC ANGEL MAGIC" (page 7.), and this further correlates even despite the variance in spelling of Cabala (Qabalah) and Magic (Magick). As for some more modern Grimoires, THE BOOK AZOETIA'S CODE is also 666, and so is THE ONE: THE BOOK OF THE GOLDEN TOAD, both Grimoires by the late Andrew Chumbley who endeavored to revive the Sabbatic Craft (Note: 666 is A SABBATIC CRAFT'S VALUE). We also find 666 is the NECRONOMICON KEY

     KEY = 35 = GATEWAY, and being 631 less than 666 it is thus the KEY or/of the GATEWAY of LAM (Mem final, 600) - which is the Portrait of Lam itself, or the IMAGE OF LAM THE MAGICKAL DRAGON; and note also that the actual title of Lam in Sanskrit is LM, thus LM-THE WAY = 666, a type of Grimoire of Lam. I HAVE THE KEY OF THE DRAGON BOOK, and I am giving it to all who may be able to utilize it by opening, entering and transgressing the Portal of the BORNLESS GOLD LAM EGG
     For the actual Grimoires, and more, see below:



The Holy Grail, A Dish, Plate, Saucer, Stone, or Cup that is part of an important theme of Arthurian (and Magickal, Psychological, Religious, and Scientific) literature. The Holy Grail is the Soul, the World, the Cosmos, the Petri Dish, the Sun, the Circle, God, the Eye, Samsara, All, Nothing.)
Tabula Smaragdina, Smaragdine Table, or Emerald Tablet A compact and cryptic piece of Hermetica reputed to contain the secret of the prima materia and its transmutation. It was highly regarded by European alchemists as the foundation of their art and its Hermetic tradition. The original source of the Emerald Tablet is unknown. Although Hermes Trismegistus is the author named in the text, its first known appearance is in a book written in Arabic between the sixth and eighth centuries. The text was first translated into Latin in the twelfth century. Numerous translations, interpretations and commentaries followed. The layers of meaning in the Emerald Tablet have been associated with the creation of the philosopher's stone, laboratory experimentation, phase transition, the alchemical magnum opus, the ancient, classical, element system, and the correspondence between macrocosm and microcosm.
RW NW PRT M HRW, Book of Coming Forth By Day, or Book of Emerging Forth Into The Light, The Papyrus of Ani (The Egyptian Book of the Dead) An ancient Egyptian funerary text, used from the beginning of the New Kingdom (around 1550 BCE) to around 50 BCE. (See Chronology.)
Papyri Graecae Magicae (English: The Greek Magical Papyri) 2nd cent. BC-5th cent. ADm  a body of papyri from Graeco-Roman Egypt which each contain a number of magical spells, formulae, hymns and rituals. 
The Chaldean Oracles (2nd century AD) The Chaldean Oracles have survived as fragmentary texts from the 2nd century AD, and consist mainly of Hellenistic commentary on a single mystery-poem (which may have been compilations from several oracular sources, considering the random subject changes) that was believed to have originated in Chaldea (Babylonia). They appear to be a syncretic combination of Neoplatonic elements with others that were Persian or Babylonian in origin. The 4th-century Emperor Julian suggests in his Hymn to the Magna Mater that he was an initiate of the God of The Seven Rays, and was an adept of its teachings. )
Σολομωνικη Υγρομαντεια (English: Hygromanteia Solomoniké, or Hygromancy of Solomon, or Little Key of the Whole Art of Hygromancy, Found by Several Craftsmen and by The Holy Prophet Solomon) A group of Byzantine-era grimoires purporting to contain Solomon’s instructions to his son Rehoboam on various magical techniques and tools to summon and control different spirits, those spirits’ powers, astrological beliefs,  select charms,  different means of divination, and the magical use of herbs.
 كتاب شمس المعارف ولطائف العوارف‎ ‎, Shams al-Ma’arif or Shams al-Ma’arif wa Lata’if al-‘Awarif (English: The Book of the Sun of Gnosis and the Subtleties of Elevated Things) 13th centry by البوني أحمد ‎ Ahmed al-Boni. Arabic magic grimoire for achieving esoteric spirituality. The first few chapters introduce the reader to magic squares, and the combination of numbers and the alphabet that are believed to bring magical effect, which the author insists is the only way to communicate with genies, angels and spirits.  
The Sword of Moses by Moses Gaster (published 1896 from 13-14th century manuscript, formerly  MS Gaster 78, now London, British Library MS Or. 10678.)
Liber Juratus Honorii (also Liber Sacer/Sacratus/Consecratus, Grimoire of Honorius, or The Sworn Book of Honorius) Grimoire purportedly written by Honorius of Thebes. Its date of composition is uncertain, but it is mentioned as Liber Sacer in the 13th century, apparently asserting a high medieval date. Johannes Hartlieb (1456) mentions it as one of the books used in necromancy. The oldest preserved manuscript dates to the 14th century, Sloane MS 3854 (fol 117-144). Sloane MS 313, dating to the late 14th or early 15th century, was once in the possession of John Dee.
The Book of Abramelin (said internally to date to1458, though earliest known manuscripts date  to about 1608. Others date around 1700-1750.) (translated to English by S.L. MacGregor Mathers as The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage in 1897. See also Section VII, The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage of Chapter III of The Book of Ceremonial Magic by A.E. Waite.)
The Grimoire of Turiel (1518) Turiel (טוריאל, Τονριηλ) is a fallen Watcher in the ancient apocryphal text known as the Book of Enoch. In later translations, he is one of the 20 leaders of 200 fallen angels, mentioned eighteenth. The name is believed to originate from tuwr "rock" and El "God", meaning "rock of God", while the translation taken from M. A. Knibb's work on the Ethiopic Book of Enoch is either "Mountain of God" or "Rock of God". There is a grimoire called The Secret Grimoire of Turiel in which the magician is given instructions on how to contact Turiel. It claims to have been written in about 1518, and that it may have been copied from something older. According to the original publisher, the work was found by Marius Malchus in 1927 after buying an English translation of a now-lost Latin original from a defrocked priest, which he copied before discarding. No references to the work have appeared anywhere before 1960, when the work was originally published, and the story of the defrocked priest and lost manuscript is fiction meant to cover up why the author could not produce any copies older than the twentieth century. The work plagiarizes and re-hashes material from A. E. Waite's 1898 work The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts (particularly his translation of Arbatel de Magia Veterum) and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers's introduction to the 1888 edition of The Key of Solomon the King. It is ultimately related to (if not based on) a mid-nineteenth-century manuscript by Frederick Hockley titled The Complete Book of Magic Science, of which multiple copies existed in different libraries.
The Grimoire of Pope Leo, or The Enchiridion of Pope Leo (1523/1633) (See also Section III of Chapter II, The Enchiridion of Pope Leo of The Book of Ceremonial Magic by A.E. Waite, 1911)
Heptameron, or Magical Elements by Peter de Abano (1496) The earliest edition of this concise handbook of ritual magic appears to be Venice, 1496 (Lynn Thorndike (Magic and Experimental Science, vol. II, p. 925). European libraries also list editions of 1559, 1565 It later appeared as an appendix of Agrippa's Opera, following Agrippa's Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy. (PDF) (See also Section VI of Chapter III, The Heptameron of The Book of Ceremonial Magic by A.E. Waite)
Splendor Solis (English: The Splendour of the Sun) (1532-35) German artistic alchemical text.  
De Occulta Philosophia Libri III (English: Three Books of Occult Philosophy) (1531-1533) by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. A study of occult philosophy, acknowledged as a significant contribution to the Renaissance philosophical discussion concerning the powers of ritual magic and its relationship with religion. (Vol. I, Vol. II, Vol. III, Vol. VI.) (See also Section V of Chapter III, The Fourth Book of Cornelius Agrippa in The Book of Ceremonial Magic by A.E. Waite.)
Livre des Esperitz (English: Book of Spirits) 15th-16th century French Grimoire 
Munich Manual of Demonic Magic (CLM 849 of the Bavarian State Library, Munich) 15th century Latin Grimoire concerned with demonology and necromancy. (See also Forbidden Rites: A Necromancers Manual of the Fifteenth Century by Richard Kieckhefer, 1998)
The Grand Grimoire, or The Red Dragon (Dated variously as 1421, 1521-1522, but most likely written in the early 19th century) Authored by Antonio Venitiana del Rabina, and contains instructions purported to summon Lucifer, or Lucifuge Rofocale, for the purpose of forming a Pact. The work is divided in two books. The first contains instructions for summoning a demon and the construction of tools with which to force the demon to do ones bidding. The second book is further divided into two parts: the Sanctum Regnum and Secrets, de L'Art Magique du Grand Grimoire (“Secrets, of the magic art of the Grand Grimoire”). The Sactum Regnum contain instructions for making a pact with the demon, allowing one to command the spirit without the tools required in book one, but at greater risk. Secrets contains simpler spells and rituals one can employ after having performed the ritual in the first book. Some editions contain a short text between these two parts, Le Secret Magique, où le Grand Art de pouvoir parler aux Morts (The Magic Secret, or the Grand Art of being able to speaking with the dead), dealing with necromancy. (See also Section III of Chapter IV, The Grand Grimoire of The Book of Ceremonial Magic by A.E. Waite.)
Clavicula Salominis,   (English: The Key of Solomon) 14th-15th century Grimoire (Translated by S.L. MacGregor Mathers, The Key of Solomon the King, 1888)

Arbatel de Magia Veterum (English: Arbatel: Of the Magic of the Ancients) Latin Grimoire of renaissance ceremonial magic published in Switzerland (1575) (See also Section I of Chapter II, The Arbatel of Magic from The Book of Ceremonial Magic by A.E. Waite (1913).)
Galdrabók (English: Book of Magic) 16-17th century Icelandic grimoire compiled by  four different people and containing 47 spells.
Fama Fraternitatis Roseæ Crucis Oder Die Bruderschaft des Ordens der Rosenkreuzer (English: Fama Fraternitatis Rosæ Crucis) (German) Anonymous Rosicrucian manifesto published in 1614 in Kassel, Hesse-Kassel (in present-day Germany). In 1652, Thomas Vaughan translated the work into English. An Italian edition was published as an appendix of the 77th Advertisement (part), under the title Generale Riforma dell' Universo (Universal Reformation of Mankind), from a German translation of Bocallini's Ragguagli di Parnasso (Advertisements from Parnassus). The Fama was soon published in separate form.
Confessio Oder Bekenntnis Der Societät Und Bruderschaft Rosenkreuz (English: Confessio Fraternitatis) (1615) The second anonymous manifesto, of a trio of Rosicrucian pamphlets, declaring the existence of a secret brotherhood of alchemists and sages who were interpreted, by the society of those times, to be preparing to transform the political and intellectual landscape of Europe. Signs related to the beginning of the "age" which brings the "Reformation of Mankind", first Manifesto, are described at this second Manifesto as following:
Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosencreutz anno 1459 (English: The Chymichal Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (1616) edited in 1616 in Strasbourg, and its anonymous authorship is attributed to Johann Valentin Andreae. The Chymical Wedding is often described as the third of the original manifestos of the mysterious "Fraternity of the Rose Cross" (Rosicrucians), although it is markedly different from the Fama Fraternitatis and Confessio Fraternitatis in style and in subject matter. It is an allegoric romance (story) divided into Seven Days, or Seven Journeys, like Genesis, and tells us about the way Christian Rosenkreuz was invited to go to a wonderful castle full of miracles, in order to assist the Chymical Wedding of the king and the queen, that is, the husband and the bride. This manifesto has been a source of inspiration for poets, alchemists (the word "chymical" is an old form of "chemical" and refers to alchemy—for which the 'Sacred Marriage' was the goal ) and dreamers, through the force of its initiation ritual with processions of tests, purifications, death, resurrection, and ascension and also by its symbolism found since the beginning with the invitation to Rosenkreutz to assist this Royal Wedding. (Original)
Magnum Grimorium sive Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum Profundissimam Rerum Secretissimarum Contemplationem Totiusque Philosophiae Cognitionem Complectens or The Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum is a 1619-1620 renaissance grimoire and esoteric print of calendar engravings. The author is attributed to Johann Baptist Grossschedel von Aicha of Frankfurt, and attributes some engravings to Tycho Brahe. The original engraver is given as Theodor de Bry as originally published in 1682. The work predated, and influenced, the Rosicrucian furor. {Arthur Versluis Restoring Paradise: Western Esotericism, literature, art, and ... 2004 Page 77 - "Among the first of these, predating the Rosicrucian furor but certainly influencing its later productions, was the Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum Profundissimam Rerum Secretissimarum Contemplationem [Perpetual Natural Magical ..."}

The Divine Pymander of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus translated by John Everard (1650)
The Corpus Hermeticum translated by G.R.S. Mead (PDF) Note: The historically important (but not entirely accurate) 1650 translation of the Corpus Hermeticum by John Everard is available at Adam McLean's Alchemy Web Site:  The Divine Pymander in XVII books. London 1650. (Translated into seventeenth-century English by Everard from Marsilio Ficino's 1471 Latin translation, this version is not now considered a reliable rendition of the original textual material.)
Semiphoras und Shemhamphoras Salominis (English: Semiphoras and Schemhamphorash) (1686) Occult book attributed to King Solomon printed by Andreas Luppius. Its text cannot be traced to an earlier date, but it is possible that it is of late medieval origin, the title being mentioned among grimoires by earlier authors such as Johannes Hartlieb. The title is probably a corruption of the Kabbalist term shem hammephorash “the distinctive excellent name”, that is the Tetragrammaton. The text is a mish-mash of material derived from Agrippa, pseudo-Agrippa, Jewish magic and the so-called Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses. “The Seven Semiphoras of Adam” and the “The Seven Semiphoras of Moses” closely match book 7 of the Liber Salomonis. It was edited by Johann Scheible in 1846.
Liber Armadel seu Totius Cabalae Perfectissima Brevissima et Infallabilis Scientia tam Speculativa Quam Practiqua (English: The Grimoire of Armadel) French Christian grimoire from the 17th century, translated into English by S.L. MacGregor Mathers and published after his death in 1980)
Grimoirium Verum (English: The Grimoire of Truth, or True Grimoire)18th century Grimoire attributed to Alibeck the Egyptian of Memphis, who purportedly wrote it in 1517. Like many grimoires, it claims a tradition originating with King Solomon. The grimoire is not a translation of an earlier work as purported, its original appearing in French or Italian in the mid-18th century, as noted already by Arthur Edward Waite who discussed the work in his The Book of Ceremonial Magic (1911), stating: The date specified in the title of the Grimorium Verum is undeniably fraudulent; the work belongs to the middle of the eighteenth century, and Memphis is Rome.
Petit Albert (English: Lesser Albert) 18th century Grimoire of natural and cabalistic magic. The Petit Albert is possibly inspired by the writings of St. Albertus Magnus. Brought down to the smallest hamlets in the saddlebags of salesmen, it represents a phenomenal publishing success, despite its evil reputation -- or because of it. It is associated with a second work, the Grand Albert. It is a composite or heterogeneous work, and perhaps a bric-a-brac, collecting texts of unequal value written by (or attributed to) various authors; most of these authors are anonymous, but some are notable such as Cardano and Paracelsus. It's a relatively old text, although the attribution to Albertus Magnus is dubious, particularly as it quotes from so many later sources.
La Poule Noire (English: The Black Pullet) 18th century French grimoire that proposes to teach the “science of magical talismans and rings,” including the art of necromancy and Kabbalah. (See also Section VI of Chapter IV, The Black Pullet from The Book of Ceremonial Magic by A.E. Waite (1913).)
Rauðskinna (English: The Book of Power) A legendary book about black magic, alleged to have been buried with its author, the Bishop Gottskálk grimmi Nikulásson of Holar. The subject of the book was to learn to master magic to such a degree as to control Satan. The book has been the subject of legend and folklore and desired by practitioners of galdr. One such legend is when the galdr master Loftur Þorsteinsson tried to acquire it and allegedly lost his life because of it. Loftur Þorsteinsson became a student of the Latin school at Holar in 1716. Apparently, he had an interest in the practice of magic. According to the legend, Loftur Þorsteinsson tried to obtain the legendary grimoire Rauðskinna from the dead Bishop Gottskálk grimmi Nikulásson of Holar by the use of magic. He failed, however. Some time after, he was, according to legend, dragged down from his fishing boat under the water and disappeared. Whatever the truth, it is a fact that Loftur Þorsteinsson is never heard of after the year of 1722, and his year of death is unknown.
Svarteboken Cyprianus (English The Black Book of Cyprianus) Scandinavian name for the traditional “black book”, or grimoire of spells. Manuscripts called or referring to Cyprianus had a dark reputation; in some versions, you obtained the text by renouncing your baptism and devoting yourself to Satan. The common people's opinion of the book was that it was a standard grimoire concerned with the summoning of demons and spirits. Like many such texts, it is bound to its owner and hard to get rid of; it will not burn nor be destroyed by water, and attempting to discard it will only result in its supernatural return. The actual stories told of Cyprianus in Scandinavia often made no reference to St. Cyprian. Some made Cyprianus into a typical Faust figure; some said that Cyprianus was a wicked Norwegian or Dane who learned magic through his dealings with the Devil; one version makes Cyprianus so evil that the Devil threw him out of Hell; Cyprianus wrote the text to have his revenge. A different and strongly contradictory version explains that Cyprianus was a student who discovered he was attending a diabolical "black school", and wrote the text to explain how to undo all the witchcraft he learned there.
Livro de São Cipriano (English: The Great Book of Saint Cyprian) Although the book refers to Saint Cyprian, the Cyprian referred to is without doubt the legendary sorcerer and later Christian convert, bishop and saint Cyprian of Antioch, who was martyred together with Justina. The actual book appeared centuries after his death and could not possibly have been written by him. In fact, the first known edition came out in 1849. According to the full title, "it was the Book of Saint Cyprian, taken from a manuscript. Made by the Saint himself, who teaches how to undo all the spells made by the Moors in this Kingdom of Portugal, and also how to find the places where riches can be found."
Le Grimoire du Pape Honorius (English: The Grimoire of Pope Honorius) 18th-19th century grimoire claiming to have been written by Pope Honorius III. It is unique among grimoires in that it was specifically designed to be used by a priest, and some of the instructions include saying a Mass. (See also Section IV of Chapter IV, The Grimoire of Honorius in The Book of Ceremonial Magic by A.E. Waite.)
The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses; 18-19th century magical text allegedly written by Moses, and passed down as hidden or lost books of the Old Testament. It purports to instruct the reader in the spells used to create the miracles portrayed in the Bible.
The Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Books of Moses; grimoire texts attributed to Moses and popularized by pseudo-author Henri Gamache.
غاية الحكيم Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm, (English: The Aim of the Sage, or The Goal of the Wise) (The Picatrix) Picatrix is the name used today, and historically in Christian Europe, for a 400-page book of magic and astrology originally written in Arabic under the title غاية الحكيم Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm, which most scholars assume was originally written in the middle of the 11th century, though an argument for composition in the first half of the 10th century has been made. The Arabic title translates as The Aim of the Sage or The Goal of The Wise. The Arabic work was translated into Spanish and then into Latin during the 13th century, at which time it got the Latin title Picatrix. The book's title Picatrix is also sometimes used to refer to the book's author.
Simon Necronomicon (1977) A purported grimoire written by an unknown author (said to be Peter Levenda), with an introduction by a man identified only as “Simon”. Materials presented in the book are a blend of ancient Middle Eastern mythological elements, with allusions to the writings of H. P. Lovecraft and Aleister Crowley, woven together with a story about a man known as the "Mad Arab" (itself derived from several stories by Lovecraft).

For a historical list of the primary works on Magick and Witchcraft which I have read and am familiar, see below:




A general list of pertinent works regarding the evolution and persecution of the Witches and their Craft, and various other works which may prove insightful.
Formicarius by Johannes Nider (written 1435-37, printed 1475) The second book ever printed to discuss witchcraft (the first book being Fortalitium Fidei.) Nider dealt specifically with witchcraft in the fifth section of the book. Unlike his successors, he did not emphasize the idea of the Witches' Sabbath and was skeptical of the claim that witches could fly by night. The Formicarius is an important work for the study of the origins of the witch trials in Early Modern Europe, as it sheds light on their earliest phase during the first half of the 15th century.
Tractus Contra Demonum Invocatores (English: Treatise Against The Conjurers of Spirits) by Jean Vineti (1450) The first book to identify witchcraft as ‘heresy’.
Errores Gazariorum (English: Errors of the Cathars) by Anonymous (1452) Idea of sabbat highly developed.

Question de le Strie by Samuel de Cassini (1505) The first book to attack the identification of witchcraft as heresy, calling inquisitors the heretics.
Liber Ccto Questionum ad Maximilianum Cesarem by Johannes Trithemius (1508, 1515) Follows Malleus. All trouble caused by witches, who must be burned.
Layerspiegel by Ulric Tengler (1509) Follows Malleus; secular courts should follow procedure of Inquisition in witchcraft trials.
De Strigiis by Bernard de Como (1510) Accepts full-blown theory of sabbat as real and corporeal.

Dialogus Strix: Sive de Ludificatione Daemonum by Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola (1523)
Libro Detto Strega, O Delle Illusioni del Demonio by Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola (1524) First book about witchcraft printed in Italian. Accepts witchcraft delusion, stressing incubi.
Quæstio de Strigibus by Bartolomeo Spina (1523, published 1526) Disciple of Prierias. Most violent promulgation of extreme witchcraft delusion to date. Opposed Ponzinibio.

Liber Officium Spirituum (English: The Book of The Office of Spirits) (1583) A demonological grimoire anda major source of Johann Weyer’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonumand the Ars Goetia. The original work has not been located, but some derived texts bearing the title have been found, some in the Sloane manuscripts, some in the Folger Shakespeare Library. Each version bears many similarities to each other and to the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and the Ars Goetia; though they are far from identical.
Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (English: Hierarchy of Demons) by Johann Weyer (First appears as an Appendix to Johann Weyer’s De Praestigiis Daemonum, 1577)
Flagellum Hæreticorum Fascinariorum by Nicholas Jacquier (1458, published 1581) First major definition of witchcraft as new heresy.
