📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

This volume resurrects two distinct magical texts previously bound within a rare French manuscript dated 1796. The first section, 'A Collection of Magical Secrets,' gathers practical charms derived from the works of Peter de Abano and Cornelius Agrippa, ranging from simple love spells to complex rituals for securing familiar spirits or recovering stolen goods. The second part presents a 'Treatise of Mixed Cabalah,' offering the Angelic Art translated from Hebrew sages. By combining these obscure materials with new introductions by Stephen Skinner and David Rankine, the book bridges the gap between scholarly magic and folk cunning, preserving techniques that have long been inaccessible to modern practitioners.

Fun Fact

Skinner and Rankine have done the community a service by rendering this obscure French manuscript accessible. The collection of charms is particularly valuable for its raw, unvarnished view of folk magic. However, readers expecting the polished, high-theoretical Hermeticism of Agrippa’s original texts may find the 'secrets' section somewhat disjointed. It sits firmly in the niche of historical recovery rather than contemporary practice, best suited for researchers tracing the lineage of practical magic.

📝 Description: A Collection of Magical Secrets & A Treatise of Mixed Cabalah

A Collection of Magical Secrets Taken from Peter de Abano, Cornelius Agrippa and from other Famous Occult Philosophers and A Treatise Of Mixed Cabalah Which comprises the Angelic Art Taken From Hebrew Sages Translated from Wellcome MS4669 by Paul Harry Barron from the original French manuscript dated 1796 With Introduction by Stephen Skinner & David Rankine This book bridges the worlds of learned magic and village cunning, providing rare and previously unavailable material from the late eighteenth century. It comprises two parts, A Collection of Magickal Secrets and A Treatise of Mixed Cabalah, both of which contain unique and exciting magical material that were previously bound together in a French manuscript with The Clavicule of Solomon and The Universal Treatise of the Keys of Solomon. These are reproduced along with The Keys of Rabbi Solomon, in The Veritable Key of Solomon, the most significant grimoire publication of modern times, by Stephen Skinner & David Rankine. A Collection of Magical Secrets contains a collection of charms, ranging from the very simple to the complex. There are charms for healing, winning in love and gambling, gaining familiar spirits, regaining stolen or lost property, instructions for the creation of magic rings for controlling spirits, and a rare angelic conjuration of a Prince of the Thumb. A wide range of sympathetic magick techniques such as dreaming, poppets, using bread, herbs and sieves, are utilised to ensure the success of the charms. A Treatise of Mixed Cabalah contains four parts, three of which fit together to develop a greater knowledge of the practical Qabalah. This includes a ritual sequence of prayers and actions for increasing knowledge, practical instructions for the construction, consecration and use of wax pentacles for absent healing, a technique for angelic dream incubation and a system of divination with 112 possible answers.

Occult literature desk

While this volume offers a unique window into late-eighteenth-century magical practice, it is not for the casual reader seeking simple entertainment or modern self-help. The dense subject matter, involving complex rituals for familiar spirits and Hebrew-based Cabalistic translations, demands patience and a scholarly disposition. Readers looking for straightforward, easily digestible guides to contemporary witchcraft may find the historical context and technical depth overwhelming. However, for those dedicated to the rigorous study of occult history and the practical revival of forgotten charms, this book is an invaluable, if demanding, addition to the shelf.

Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Recommended with reservations.

Decent

As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Good, with the caveats above.

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Five stars from me.

Worth the read

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Recommended with reservations.

This edition finally does the material justice. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Would buy from this store again.

How does the fusion of learned Agrippine magic with simple village charms reflect the diverse needs of the eighteenth-century occultist?
In what ways might the 'Angelic Art' from Hebrew sages differ from the standard Solomonic angelic hierarchies you know?
Consider the practical applications listed: how do the charms for gambling or love reveal the social anxieties of the era?
