The Picatrix Decoded: Medieval Grimoire of Astrology and Magic

By Tracey Wagstaff

The Picatrix Decoded by Tracey Wagstaff is an in-depth exploration of The Picatrix, a medieval grimoire of esoteric wisdom. Originally written in Arabic as Ghayat al-Hakim in the 10th or 11th century, The Picatrix was later translated into Latin in the 13th century and became highly influential among European occultists.

This book serves as both a historical analysis and a practical guide, unraveling the complexities of The Picatrix by providing insights into astral magic, talismanic rituals, and the connection between celestial forces and human destiny. It discusses how planetary movements can be harnessed for magical practices, detailing the creation of talismans, invocation of planetary spirits, and the importance of astrological timing.

Beyond its practical applications, The Picatrix Decoded also delves into the philosophical and metaphysical framework of The Picatrix, examining its synthesis of Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, and Islamic mysticism. It highlights how magic, science, and spirituality were intricately linked in medieval thought.

Whether you are a historian, an occult practitioner, or a curious reader, The Picatrix Decoded offers a comprehensive look into one of the most influential and mysterious grimoires in Western esoteric tradition.
