What you will find

A journey
with clear provenance.

  • Weyer, Scot and the Goetia: names, ranks and differences between witnesses.
  • Crown, dromedary, music, seals and directions with their provenance identified.
  • Historical plates and workshops for describing and comparing what they show.
  • Twelve contemporary ceremonies on voice, listening, teaching and responsibility.
  • Preparation, formulas, closing, recording and references for returning to the sources.

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.
