The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses. Grimoire. Magick. Edited by Joseph H. Peterson
|
I'm reading through "The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses" grimoire edited by Joseph H. Peterson...For people interested in folk magic. The Sixth and Seventh Books
of Moses, arguably one of the most popular magick books ever published,
contains two secret apocrypha ascribed to Moses, perhaps
pseudepigraphically. The book consists of a collection of texts,which
claim to explain the magick Moses used to win the biblical magick
contest with the Egyptian priest-magicians, part the Red Sea, and
perform other miraculous feats. It includes instruction in the form of
invocations, magick words, and seals for calling upon the angels to
affect worldly ends, from the sublime (calling down a plague of locusts
and frogs upon your enemy) to the mundane (getting more money). Many
manuscripts and printed pamphlet versions circulated in Germany in the
1800s, and an English translation by Johann Scheible first appeared in
New York in 1880 that had not been corrected or re-edited until now. In
creating this restored, corrected edition, Joseph Peterson drew on
Scheible's final edition of the text and his original sources. It will
be of great interest to those who have suffered through prior editions
and anyone looking for a traditional source of Western magick. * Used in
various modern traditions of American folk magick, from Pennsylvania
Dutch hexmeisters and contemporary eclectic magicians, to voodoo
practitioners and African American root workers. * Updated or fresh
translations from original German, Latin, and Hebrew sources and
restoration of censored or left out passages in earlier editions and 35
pages of text never before translated. * Describes the biblical magick
ascribed to Moses and its application. * Extensively illustrated with
over 100 magical seals, signs, and sigils.
