Techniques of Solomonic Magic. by Dr. Stephen Skinner

Techniques of Solomonic Magic. Hygromanteia. Key of Solomon. Goetia. by Dr. Stephen Skinner
Techniques of Solomonic Magic. Hygromanteia. Key of Solomon. Goetia. by Dr. Stephen Skinner


I'm enjoying "Techniques of Solomonic Magic" by Dr. Stephen Skinner. This book contains the historical background and methodology of the various Medieval and Renaissance Era Solomonic Grimoires (manuscripts containing magical workings ascribed to King Solomon). This text formed part of Dr. Skinner's doctoral thesis. He is certainly one of the most respected authorities on the subject in the world.

The most detailed analysis of the techniques of Solomonic magic from the seventh to the nineteenth century ever published. This volume explores the methods of Solomonic magic in Alexandria, tracing how the tradition passed through Byzantium (the Hygromanteia) to the Latin Clavicula Salomonis and its English incarnation as the Key of Solomon.
Discover specific magical techniques such as the invocation of the gods, the binding of demons, the use of the four demon Kings, and the construction of the circle and lamen. The use of amulets, talismans, and phylacteries is outlined along with their methods of construction. Also included are explanations of the structures and steps of Solomonic evocation, the facing directions, practical considerations, the use of thwarting angels, achieving invisibility, sacrifice, love magic, treasure finding and the binding, imprisoning, and licensing of spirits.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991): Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman


     Directed by Kevin Reynolds, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) is a sweeping Medieval epic of love, loss, war and redemption. The story centers on Robin of Locksley's return to England after the Holy Crusades, where he find his country oppressed by the sadistic Sheriff of Nottingham. Shot on location in The United Kingdom and France, the medieval battles are intense and the scenery is perfectly beautiful. Kevin Costner is excellent as Robin Hood. Morgan Freeman is his Moorish friend, Azeem. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio in the lovely Maid Marian. Alan Rickman is the cold Sheriff of Nottingham. Christian Slater is Will Scarlet, and Sean Connery appears briefly as King Richard.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975): King Arthur and Comedy


     Directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) was conceived between the 3rd and 4th season of the hit TV show Monty Python's Flying Circus. The story concerns King Arthur and his quest for the Holy Grail, aided by his knights of Camelot. One memorable scene follows another, and the film is funny throughout. The whole cast is fantastic, including Terry Gilliam, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Eric Idle.
