Ars Speculum is a concise and practical work on the use of mirrors in magic. Mirrors and reflections have always fascinated mankind, and are found throughout folklore, mythology and literature. English alchemist and sorceror Gary Nottingham guides the reader through the development of the clairvoyant faculty to its use for skrying in mirrors as well as crystal shewstones. The author travels far beyond the art of skrying to explore the diverse range of magical practices using mirrors. These include working with the four elements of air, fire, water and earth, both through elemental condensers and different elemental creatures. Other techniques within this gem of practical magic are contacting other levels of being, the conjuration of spirits, binding and ligature, the appropriate use of herbs use, and creating powerful tools for healing and protection. The construction and consecration of a magic mirror are detailed, along with the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. Certain spiritual beings particularly associated with mirror magic are included in this primer, specifically the archangel Gabriel and the elemental beings sylphs, salamanders, undines and gnomes. With his lucid and eminently practical style, the author has shone a light ensuring that magical practitioners of any level no longer need to stare 'through a glass darkly'.
In Ars Theurgia Goetia, English alchemist and sorceror Gary Nottingham presents a precise and practical guide to working with the versatile spirits and wandering princes of the Theurgia Goetia, part of the seventeenth century Lemegeton, one of the most influential and significant of all grimoires. The full seals of the spirits are given for the first time, plus material from the Steganographia of the Renaissance mage Abbot Trithemius, an earlier work which heavily influenced the formation of this grimoire. Unlike many grimoires, the Theurgia Goetia heavily stresses the direction and conjuration time at which each spirit must be summoned. This is explained using the complex image known as the Compass Rose, which shows the hierarchy of the spirits and the thirty-two directions of their mansions. This work thus offers practitioners unique access in both time and space to the spirits and wandering princes of the Theurgia Goetia. The author includes detailed instructions on the magical tools needed for working with the spirits, including consecrations, the construction of the magic circle and triangle, and the preparation of the altar. The full ritual sequence of preparation, conjurations and license to depart is lucidly demonstrated, making this work suitable for both the beginner and the experienced practitioner. Ars Theurgia Goetia is Vol IV in Foundations of Practical Sorcery by Gary St. M. Nottingham.
Ars Geomantica explores the medieval system of Geomancy, one of the simplest and most practical of the divinatory arts, and one which crossed the boundaries of class and station due to its effectiveness. The sixteen symbols, their meanings and how to read them are lucidly demonstrated in a concise and lucid style. Alchemist and sorceror Gary Nottingham goes far beyond simply providing a thorough exposition of the techniques and interpretations of Geomantic symbols in this work. He demonstrates their applications for working with the elemental energies of air, fire, water and earth, as well as their application in talismanic work and use as symbolic doorways for accessing the subtle realms. The inclusion of detailed instructions for the creation of geomantic staves, elemental fluid condensers, and talismanic construction and consecration make this work a superb introduction of wide scope to the principles of magic and divination. Ars Geomantica is Vol. III of the Foundations of Practical Sorcery by Gary St. M. Nottingham.
Liber Terribilis is a practical introduction to working with the seventy-two spirits of the infamous seventeenth century grimoire, the Goetia. This work draws upon the experiences of a small group of occultists who have explored the methods of conjuration given in the grimoires. English alchemist and sorceror Gary Nottingham gives clear and workable instructions to allow the reader to explore and work with these spirits - which tradition declares King Solomon bound to his will, and who helped to build the great Temple of Solomon. The author argues convincingly that these spirits are real and will attend on the will of the conjuror so far as their office allows them to do so. He also explores the vital and often neglected use of the seventy-two angels of the Great Name of God, the Schemhamphorasch, which assist in the binding of the spirits and also have their own offices to perform. This work allows the conjuror to interact with both the Goetic spirits and their controlling angels. The tools of the arte and their consecration, the preparation required of the serious practitioner, and the full process of Goetic conjuration are all covered, together with the seals of the spirits and angels, their appropriate colours and fragrances. This excellent volume will be of value to all levels of students and practitioners of the grimoire traditions.
