The Guardian Angel and the Language of Angels

About this book

After the great map of the world of spirits, Agrippa turns to the most personal question of all: does every person have an invisible companion of his own? This is notebook 4 of 11 of Book III, "Of Ceremonial Magic", in a series that divides Agrippa's work by theme. It contains chapters 20–23 of Book III: how evil demons assail people and how the good ones guard them; how to follow one's own genius and learn its nature; why every person has a threefold guardian; and in what language angels speak among themselves and with us.
