Picatrix ? Ghayat Al-Hakim ? The Goal of the Wise Volume Two
(photo): www.bookarts.org/Picatrix_cloth.JPG
Picatrix Volume Two contains the 3rd and 4th books of Ghayat Al-Hakim and completes the
English translation. It is a larger book than volume one and contains much in the way of
the practical working of astral and talismanic magic. Planetary and Zodiacal magic and
full instructions for invoking the related spirits are provided along with all the
requisite materials needed; stones, plants, inks, colors, incenses, talismans and the
invocations. As a grimoire of magic it stands on its own.
In addition the book contains many anecdotes relating to Arabic and pre-Islamic magical
lore, including the writings of Ibn Wahshija, the Nabataeans, Sabians, Chaldeans and
Assyrians. Of particular note is the magical plant and mineral lore from the Nabataean
Agriculture, which portray ancient practices of pagan Iraq.
The influence of the Picatrix can be seen in several texts of well-known authors of the
western esoteric tradition, including Ficino, Mirandola, Abano and Agrippa, whose works
have played a major role of forming contemporary manifestations of the esoteric tradition
today.
There are a few copies of the Volume One available in an Out-of-Series leather edition
for $175.00 but when they are gone it will be completely is Sold Out! Inquire if you are
interested.

(photo): www.bookarts.org/Heptameron%20Open.jpg
This classic grimoire is devoted to the angels of the seven days with diagrams of
circles, magical sigils and conjurations of the ceremonial art. Magical images of the
planets engraved by Bernhard Maler [1482] and tables showing correct planetary hours are
included. The Arbatel offers seven sepentaries of aphorisms of a kind of Theophrastical
Magic. The initial groups of these aphorisms serve to introduce the Ritual of the Olympic
Spirits, dwelling in the firmament and in the stars of the firmament, between whom the
government of the world is distributed. Two volumes bound as one.

The Turba Philosophorum or Assembly of the Sages:
Called also the Book of Truth in the Art and the Third Pythagorical Synod
(photo): www.bookarts.org/Turba%20P...20Open.jpg
An Ancient Alchemical Treatise Translated from the Latin by Arthur Edward Waite.
Known unto the Wise as the Crowd of Philosophers, this twelfth century treatise records
the meeting of the "Hermetic Association for the Advancement of Alchemy" and gives voice
to the alchemical wisdom of several centuries. From Pythagoras to the Thrice-Greatest
Hermes, the Adepts converse on the keys of the Royal Art and the nature of the Magnum
Opus in their pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone.
Arthur Edward Waite's translation of The Turba Philosophorum remains the most complete to
date due to the fact that he examined the many variant Latin manuscripts. There were two
versions of the Turba; a short version and a long version, and in cases where textual
differences occurred, Waite was sure to note them. This new edition has retained those
important words of wisdom.
