Solomonic Magic & the Grimoires

Techniques of Solomonic Magic

by Stephen Skinner

A practical and historical study of how Solomonic magic was meant to be performed, drawn from the grimoires themselves rather than modern reinterpretation. Skinner traces the tradition from the Greek Hygromanteia through the Latin Clavicula and English manuscripts, then explains the magician's preparations, timing, circle, tools, scrying, conjuration and licence to depart. Clear diagrams and comparative tables make it a useful companion to the source texts for both scholars and serious practitioners.
