Archidoxes of Magic

The Archidoxes of Magic is a seminal work in the field of occultism and alchemy, written by the renowned Swiss-German physician and alchemist, Paracelsus. The book is a compendium of Paracelsus' teachings on the nature of magic, the principles of alchemy, and the use of natural remedies in healing. It is divided into ten chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of magic and alchemy, including the properties of metals, the creation of talismans, and the use of incantations and invocations. The book also includes detailed instructions on the preparation of various elixirs and potions, as well as advice on how to use them to achieve specific goals. Throughout the text, Paracelsus emphasizes the importance of understanding the natural world and the principles of divine order in order to harness the power of magic and alchemy. The Archidoxes of Magic remains a classic work of occult literature and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of magic and alchemy.Of the Supreme Mysteries of Nature; of the Spirits of Planets; Secrets of Alchemy; Occult Philosophy; Signs of the Zodiack, Magical Cure of Diseases; and Celestial Medicines; Partial Contents: Of Simple Fire; Multiplicity of Fire; The Metals of the Planets; Spirit of the Sun; Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn; Of Tinctures how they are made; Conjunction of Male and Female; To make the Furnace; To place the Fire; The Red Colour; Of Consecrations; Of Ceremonies Magical; Of Conjurations; Supernatural Diseases must have Supernatural Cures; Visions and Dreams; Dreams natural and Supernatural; Of Imagination; Of Hidden Treasure; The Abuse of Magick; Preservatives against Witchcraft; Manner of helping persons bewitched; Of the mystery of the twelve Signs; Celestial Medicines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
