About the author
Humberto Maggi is credited with two books on Western ceremonial magic and grimoire traditions, both drawing on Portuguese-language source material not previously available in English. The Book of St. Cyprian: The Great Book of True Magic (Nephilim Press, 2018) compiles material from an occult work with a strong tradition in Portuguese and Brazilian folk magic, including images from original texts and extensive notes and citations, based on access to private manuscript collections. Dæmonology: An Introduction with a Selection of Texts (Hadean Press, 2015) surveys the concept of the daimon or dæmon as an intermediary spirit within the Western esoteric tradition, examining its place across historical religious and philosophical writing. Both books function as research-driven reference works rather than instructional grimoires, aimed at readers with a serious interest in the textual history of Western ceremonial magic and its lesser-translated sources.
