The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage

Around the turn of the century, when Aleister Crowley was working out his system of Magick, the source he turned to for basics was the system of Abramelin of Egypt. From Abramelin he took his concepts of protections, purifications, evocations, vestments, and dromena down to specific details.

This system of Abralemin the mage is known from a unique 15th century manuscript preserved in the Bibliotheque de l'Arsenal in Paris. In it, Abraham of Wurzburg, a cabalist and connoisseur of magics, describes a tour that he made of the then civilised world, visiting sorcerers, magicians and cabalists, estimating their powers and virtues. This quest is in itself as fascinating as the similar tours of Gurdjieff.

The high point of Abraham's travels was found in a small toen on the banks of the Nile, where he encountered the great magician Abramelin, whose complete system Abraham therupon sets out in detail. This amounts to a complete course in ceremonial magic (both white and black), which the student can pursue by himself.

We do not guarantee that Abramelin's techniques work, nor that the results are desirable, but we offer this as a genuine medieval course in magic, one of the most important books in the history of ccultism. It is of paramount importance to both the historian and the practitioner
