What you will find

A journey
with clear provenance.

  • Baalzebub, Beelzebul and Beelzebub: names, witnesses and questions of interpretation.
  • Ranks, characters and courts in different books of magic, with cases and reading workshops.
  • Sixteen contemporary operations, closing words, records and documentary references.

You can follow the historical journey without doing the practices. If you choose to explore them, you will find contemporary compositions clearly identified as such, with preparation, practice and closure.
