Description

The Book of St. Cyprian: The Sorcerer's Treasure is a translation of a complete Portuguese grimoire attributed to St. Cyprian of Antioch. This book includes extensive commentaries on the history of Western Iberian Bruxaria and Feitiçaria, as well as the blood war of Old and New Christians, the slave trade, and the Empire. The Book of Saint Cyprian is revealed as a manifestation of vaster and pre-existent magical and folkloric traditions, providing the reader with the keys to its unwritten content. Its connection to the vast mythical corpus of the Mouras Encantadas is also explored. This book is an essential read for those interested in folk magic, fey traditions, and the largely unknown West Iberian magical current and its various traces and manifestations in modern Ibero-African-American cults of Brazil.
