Description
The Book of Treasure Spirits is a 17th-century grimoire of magical conjurations to increase wealth and catch thieves. This manuscript, published for the first time, is a rare and fascinating insight into the magical practices of the past. It includes conjurations to call upon spirits such as Agares, Padiel, and Vassago, as well as techniques like lead plates for binding and summoning into a glass of water. The book's contents demonstrate the influence of earlier grimoires, including the Goetia, the Heptameron, and Reginald Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft. It offers a unique glimpse into the magical world of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, where the British Monarchy licensed individuals to search for treasure in an effort to control such practices. This manuscript, transcribed from a long-ignored mid-seventeenth century manuscript in the British Library, provides a rare and valuable resource for those interested in the history of magic and the occult.
