Aphorisms of Urbigerus: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

One of the foremost texts of alchemy, the Aphorisms of Urbigerus remains one of the better kept secrets of the tradition. Written in 1690 and originally of English manufacture, it contains a series of 100 short statements (technically 101 statements) on alchemy, and alchemical philosophy.

Referring often to the green dragon, the red lion, and other alchemical veils for simplistic chemical terms, it allows the reader, so it claims, to create three stages of purified mercury and several types of elixir- through both a long, proper method, and a shorter but less effective one. It combines the quite literal with the metaphoric in such a way that the modern reader can presumably determine what specific chemical processes are being used; as is not the case with at least half of all works of alchemy.

De Septem Secundeis: Now Available!

Based on what I've read of Trithemius' work, he deserves to be celebrated far more than most may give him credit for. Known predominantly for Steganographia he also penned two other works of note; the Art of Drawing Spirits into Crystals (which I intend to edit and release) and this work, De Septem Secundeis which is an almost stereotypically Da-Vinci style prophetic work of sorts made long ago in order to note the past and draw conclusions about what was then the future (now, though, this era is also past.) A small amount of effort allows the reader to apply the same angelic system and its predictive capabilities to any era, including the modern one, as I speak of in the foreword itself.

At forty pages, it is a relatively short work, but exceptionally dense, covering several thousand years of human history and numerous changes of governance and borders.

Coming Soon: De Septum Secundeis of Johann Trithemius

For those who prefer a little bit of history and intrigue with their occult references and celestial nomenclature, this is a pure gem of the mystic literary world.

Trithemius is best known for his Steganographia, but he penned several shorter, less well known works, including this work here, which refers to the history of the world (as envisioned by Renaissance era christians!) as being split up into mathematically stable periods of time, each ruled by one of several angelic forces, each also representative of a celestial body; Anael, Raphael, Gabriel, and so forth. Each of these forces has its own nature during its reign, and Trithemius compares historical events within each of these periods to the same- noting the changing of rulership, the development of culture, and the rise and fall of empires.

In the near future I will also edit and release two of Trithemius' other shorter works; the Steganographia will have to wait for the future, being a true "full length" manuscript.
