Telesmanica is a practical manual of medieval and Renaissance astrological magic, grounded in traditional electional technique, talismanic recipes, design principles, and ritual procedures, while also thoroughly addressing the theory and philosophy underlying its primary source, the Picatrix, and related traditional texts. At its core, medieval and Renaissance astrological magic is the discovery and practical use of celestial and sublunary connection, alignment, and unification. Telesmanica...>>
