Grimoire Conjuration Online Course
Share
We have rebranded the Conjuring the Intelligences course to the new Grimoire Conjuration course.
This six-week, online course offers a practical step-by-step exploration of the process of grimoire conjuration, providing a template of practice that can be adapted for working with different types of spiritual creatures. Drawing on over forty years of successful conjurations, David Rankine will consider the entire conjuration process, including what is essential and what is not. Using his books Claves Intelligentarium and Claves Spirituum as manuals, the course will explore what to do, and why and how to do it.
Communication with spiritual creatures for acquisitive magic (health, knowledge, love, success, wealth, etc.) and protective magic (health, household, luck, personal safety, etc.) has formed the basis of magic for millennia, and the grimoires are one of the most significant traditions to continue this. Conjuration of spiritual creatures is at the heart of the grimoire tradition.
Different grimoires give variations of the conjuration process, often incomplete or assuming pre-knowledge on the part of the practitioner. This course offers a practical step-by-step exploration of the process of grimoire conjuration, providing a template of practice that can be adapted for working with different types of spiritual creatures including the planetary intelligences, Olympic spirits, angels, and demons.
David Rankine is an author, esoteric researcher, and magician who lives in Spain with his wife, artist and tattooist Rosa Laguna, and their daughter, Victoria. He has been making major contributions to the modern occult revival since the 1980s through lectures, workshops, presentations, articles, and books. His esoteric expertise covers a wide range of topics, including the Western Esoteric Traditions, especially the Qabalah, the Grimoire Tradition, Greco-Egyptian magic, and Ceremonial Magic, as well as British folklore and European mythology. His published work in recent years has been characterised by the publication of previously unavailable or inaccessible material on the grimoires and other areas of magic.
