Naming the Heavens: Orations from the Summa Sacre Magice presents a series of prayers and ritual inscriptions addressed to the spirits of the heavenly bodies and facilitated via the invocation of those names by which the hours, days, months, and signs are called in each season of the year.

The Orations are intended to secure for oneself general protection and good fortune in any undertaking, be it sorcerous or mundane, translated from from Tractate 2, Book 2 of the Summa in 4° Ms. astron. 3 of the Universitätsbibliothek Kassel.

Brian Johnson, author of The Testament of Solomon: Recension C and Necromancy in the Medici Library, introduces the Summa Sacre Magice and its assembler Berengario Ganell, situating it firmly in the corpus of Christian ritual magic in the fourteenth century.

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.
