Magick Circles of Power: Constructing and Casting Sacred Space According to the Heptameron
Unlock the authentic secrets of Renaissance ceremonial magic with the most accurate and practical guide to constructing the Heptameron's legendary magic circle ever published.
For over five centuries, the Heptameron has stood as one of the most influential grimoires in Western esotericism—a systematic manual of planetary angelic magic attributed to the philosopher Pietro d'Abano. Yet modern practitioners have long struggled with corrupted texts, incomplete instructions, and conflicting translations that make authentic practice nearly impossible.
Until now.
Magick Circles of Power is the definitive student guide to constructing and consecrating the sacred circle according to the earliest Latin manuscripts—including Vatican Reginensis Latinus 1115 (1569) and the original printed editions of 1565-1567. This is not another reprint of Robert Turner's 17th-century translation; this is a complete reconstruction from primary sources, with step-by-step instructions written specifically for the modern ceremonial magician.
What makes this book essential for serious practitioners:
- Precise circle construction: Exact measurements, proper inscriptions, and the correct placement of Divine Names, pentagrams, and temporal correspondences—verified against multiple manuscript sources
- Original Latin with English translations: Complete consecration prayers, invocations, and ritual formulas in their authentic form, with clear modern translations
- Comprehensive reference tables: Planetary hours, angelic correspondences, seasonal spirits, and kings of the four directions—all cross-referenced for practical use
- Modern practical counsel: Guidance for contemporary practitioners, including alternatives for urban environments and modern materials without compromising ritual authenticity
- Consecration rituals: Complete ceremonies for blessing the circle, fire, incense, and perfumes—plus the proper license to depart for summoned spirits
Whether you are a student of the Golden Dawn tradition, a Solomonic practitioner, or a serious scholar of medieval and Renaissance magic, this guide provides what other editions lack: clarity, accuracy, and genuine practical utility.
The magic circle is your fortress, your temple, and your gateway to communion with angelic intelligences. The Heptameron's system—when practiced correctly—offers one of the most elegant and effective frameworks for planetary theurgy ever devised. But effectiveness demands precision, and precision demands accurate sources.
This is that precision. This is that accuracy. This is the guide you've been searching for.
