Download or read book The Key of King Solomon 1834 written by Frederick Hockley and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1834 Frederick Hockley, later to become one of the most celebrated occultists of Victorian England, translated an old French manuscript into English at the request of the alchemist and aeronaut George Graham. The manuscript was an unusual version of Clavicula Salomonis or Key of Solomon, probably the most infamous book of magic to emerge from the late middle ages. The Key of King Solomon is one descendant of Clavicula Salomonis amongst many adapted versions that appeared in France and Italy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries such as les Véritables Clavicules de Salomon, les Vraies Clavicules du Roi Salomon and Zekerboni. Incorporating details from the seventeenth century Clavicula Salomonis de Secretis and other more obscure sources, The Key of King Solomon describes methods of conjuring spirits, the construction of pentacles and the conduct of the Master of Art and his companions. Although modest in length, The Key of King Solomon is a notable contribution to the growing literature on this genre of ritual magic. The present edition features a transcript of Hockley's English translation with an historical introduction to the Key of Solomon, and a commentary on the text with additions and corrections.

Download or read book The Key Ideas Bible Handbook written by Ron Rhodes and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unleash the Power of God's Truth in Your Daily Life From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is full of life-changing truth. But to fully experience the power of God's Word, you need to go beyond merely knowing the facts and learn how to let them transform you. In this new resource, noted author and biblical scholar Ron Rhodes takes you through each book of the Bible, breaking down complex concepts into practical applications and offering helpful insights for each. For example, key applications found in 1 John include: Our fellowship with God hinges on walking in the light as He is in the light. When we fall into sin and fall out of fellowship with God, confession to God is the remedy that restores our fellowship. When we sin, Jesus is our defense attorney—and He never loses a case in God's court. Our fellowship with God is thereby protected. Word studies, quotes from famous Christians, cross-references, and more are included in every profound chapter to help you dig deeper into each transformational concept. As you put God's key principles into practice, you'll experience more than ever all the benefits the Bible has to offer.

Download or read book The Codebreakers written by David Kahn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1996-12-05 with total page 1307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnificent, unrivaled history of codes and ciphers -- how they're made, how they're broken, and the many and fascinating roles they've played since the dawn of civilization in war, business, diplomacy, and espionage -- updated with a new chapter on computer cryptography and the Ultra secret. Man has created codes to keep secrets and has broken codes to learn those secrets since the time of the Pharaohs. For 4,000 years, fierce battles have been waged between codemakers and codebreakers, and the story of these battles is civilization's secret history, the hidden account of how wars were won and lost, diplomatic intrigues foiled, business secrets stolen, governments ruined, computers hacked. From the XYZ Affair to the Dreyfus Affair, from the Gallic War to the Persian Gulf, from Druidic runes and the kaballah to outer space, from the Zimmermann telegram to Enigma to the Manhattan Project, codebreaking has shaped the course of human events to an extent beyond any easy reckoning. Once a government monopoly, cryptology today touches everybody. It secures the Internet, keeps e-mail private, maintains the integrity of cash machine transactions, and scrambles TV signals on unpaid-for channels. David Kahn's The Codebreakers takes the measure of what codes and codebreaking have meant in human history in a single comprehensive account, astonishing in its scope and enthralling in its execution. Hailed upon first publication as a book likely to become the definitive work of its kind, The Codebreakers has more than lived up to that prediction: it remains unsurpassed. With a brilliant new chapter that makes use of previously classified documents to bring the book thoroughly up to date, and to explore the myriad ways computer codes and their hackers are changing all of our lives, The Codebreakers is the skeleton key to a thousand thrilling true stories of intrigue, mystery, and adventure. It is a masterpiece of the historian's art.

Download or read book The Transformations of Magic written by Frank Klaassen and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this original, provocative, well-reasoned, and thoroughly documented book, Frank Klaassen proposes that two principal genres of illicit learned magic occur in late medieval manuscripts: image magic, which could be interpreted and justified in scholastic terms, and ritual magic (in its extreme form, overt necromancy), which could not. Image magic tended to be recopied faithfully; ritual magic tended to be adapted and reworked. These two forms of magic did not usually become intermingled in the manuscripts, but were presented separately. While image magic was often copied in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, The Transformations of Magic demonstrates that interest in it as an independent genre declined precipitously around 1500. Instead, what persisted was the other, more problematic form of magic: ritual magic. Klaassen shows that texts of medieval ritual magic were cherished in the sixteenth century, and writers of new magical treatises, such as Agrippa von Nettesheim and John Dee, were far more deeply indebted to medieval tradition—and specifically to the medieval tradition of ritual magic—than previous scholars have thought them to be.

Download or read book Reading Russian Fortunes written by Faith Wigzell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-05-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Russian Fortunes examines the huge popularity and cultural impact of fortune-telling among urban and literate Russians from the eighteenth century to the present. Based partly on a study of the numerous editions of little fortune-telling books, especially those devoted to dream interpretation, it documents and analyses the social history of fortune-telling in terms of class and gender, at the same time considering the function of both amateur and professional fortune-telling in a literate modernizing society. Chapters are devoted to professional fortune-tellers and their clients, and to the publishers of the books. An analysis of the relationship between urban fortune-telling and traditional oral culture, where divination played a very significant role, leads on to a discussion of the underlying reasons for the persistence of fortune-telling in modern Russian society.
Download or read book An Encyclopaedia of Occultism written by Lewis Spence and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This "compendium of information on the occult sciences, occult personalities, psychic science, demonology, spiritism, and mysticism" was one of a kind when it was first published in 1920 and is still considered the best in its field today. Spence organizes a world's worth of magic -- from "Ab" (a magical month in the ancient Semitic calendar) to "Zulu witch-finders" -- into 2,500 dictionary-style entries that explore concepts and personalities both familiar (Freemasonry, Morgan le Fay) and obscure: palingenesy (a process by which plants or vegetables are destroyed and then "resurrected"), Leonora Galigai (a 17th-century Italian aristocrat who was burned as a witch). A delight for devotees of the weird and the strange, and a valuable resource for students of mythology and the evolution of scientific thought, this important volume is at home in the libraries of all book lovers. Scottish journalist and folklorist LEWIS SPENCE (1874 -1955) was a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, and Vice-President of the Scottish Anthropological and Folklore Society. He published more than 40 works on mythology and the occult, including History of Atlantis, An Introduction to Mythology, and Myth and Ritual in Dance, Game and Rhyme.
