About this ebook

This translation of the FIRST BOOK of the "Lemegeton" which is now for the first time made accessible to students of TALISMANIC MAGIC was done, after careful collation and edition, from numerous Ancient Manuscripts in Hebrew, Latin, and French, by G. H. Fra. D.D.C.F., by the order of the Secret Chief of theRosicrucian Order. 1The G. H. Fra., having succumbed unhappily to the assaults of the Four Great Princes(acting notably under Martial influences), it seemed expedient that the work should be brought to its conclusion by another hand. The investigation of a competent Skryer into the house of our unhappyFra., confirmed this divination; neither ourFra. nor hisHermetic Mul. were there seen; but only the terrible shapes of the evilAdepts S.V.A. 2 and H., whose original bodies having been sequestered by Justice, were no longer of use to them. On this we stayed no longer Our Hand; but withdrawing Ourselves, and consulting the Rota, and the Books M. and Q. did decide to ask Mr. Aleister Crowley, a poet, and skilled student of Magical Lore, and an expertKabbalist , to complete openly that which had been begun in secret.

Ratings and reviews

None of the seals attributed to the 72 kings shows up, just an eye of RA for every diagram, symbol, or seal. All the text was correct.

Hasn't been forgotten in about 700 years for a reason. Laugh you skeptics, all the power you will ever have will be limited to your tiny little world.

Do I choose who to call forth or do you choose for me? I am not wanting... for thou art with me. So I ask you father... what do I do?
