What you will find

A journey
with clear provenance.

  • Beliyya‘al, Qumran and the transmission of the name: words and figures in different contexts.
  • Weyer, Scot, Goetia and later images, with workshops for comparing passages and classifications.
  • Fourteen contemporary operations, preparation, records and a bibliography for further reading.

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.
