Geosophia

The second volume of the Encyclopaedia Goetica, a two-part exploration of goetia, the ancient Greek magic of the dead, as background to the European grimoires. Stratton-Kent uses the myth of the Argonauts, Hecate, Orpheus and the chthonic cults to argue for continuity between Hellenic necromancy and later Solomonic conjuration. Speculative in places but richly sourced, it appeals to practitioners seeking a deeper mythic and historical framework for grimoire magic.
