ARBATEL of the Magic of the Ancients

A 17th-century English translation of the Arbatel de magia veterum (English: Arbatel of the Magic of the Ancients), a Latin grimoire of Renaissance ceremonial magic built up from a series of septenaries of aphorisms, some detailing the famed Olympic Spirits, albeit from within a Christian context.

This project is part of a larger spirit-themed Halloween collaboration with ‪@TheEsotericaChannel‬ ‪@drangelapuca‬ and ‪@LetsTalkReligion‬.
