About this book
How did Renaissance magicians try to catch the powers of the stars? With smoke and scent, with knots and herbs, with rings made in the right hour and with the right place. This beautifully illustrated notebook is the fourth in a series that divides Agrippa's work by theme. It contains Book I, chapters 37–48: how natural and artificial preparations were believed to draw down heavenly and even divine gifts, the ancient ideas of bindings and sorceries, the strange lore of hippomanes, fumigations and the incense of each planet and zodiac sign, eye ointments, unctions and love potions, amulets tied or hung on the body, the making of rings, and the powers of places.

- 2 printable charts: the fumigations of the seven planets and twelve signs (with the seven-aromatic blend of Hermes), and the places of the planets with the old procedure for making a ring

Who it is for
