In The Art of Cyprian’s Mirror of Four Kings, Alexander Cummins illuminates the Cyprianic dimensions of the directional courts of the various cardinal kings and their messenger-king attendants in the grimoiric corpus.

The Art of Cyprian, found in MS Sloane 3850, contains instructions for the construction and use of a magic mirror attributed Saint Cyprian of Antioch. Along with the preparation of the mirror itself – which includes making and consecrating a particular ink for drafting certain figures of Solomon – come instructions detailing a conjuration of the ‘four worthy princes of the earth’, including a special appeal to the King of the East as their primus inter pares, and a dismissal of these same ‘four kings of the four parts of the world’.

Guides to the Underworld

We've been producing our Guides since 2009 and have over 60 titles in print. From Jake Stratton-Kent's Spirit Work series, Catholic folk magic, Hoodoo, stellar magic, lunar magic, translations of historical treatises on magic, and enough practical magic to fill a lifetime, the Guides are an indispensable part of your magical journey.

In this series of pamphlets we adhere to:

"...the second idea of the radix of the word Pamphlet... that it takes its derivations from παν, 'all', and φιλεω, 'I love', signifying a thing beloved by all; for a pamphlet being of a small portable bulk, and of no great price, is adapted to every one's understanding and reading." (Curiosities of Literature, and the Literary Character Illustrated, Disraeli & Griswold, 1846, p. 91)

Because magic is for everyone.
