The Practice of Magical Evocation is the second
volume in Franz Bardon's series on Hermetic Science, and provides
first-hand information about angels, demons, sorcery, necromancy, and pacts, etc.
The Practice of Magical Evocation has been newly translated from the original German version. It contains detailed information about all aspects of
magical evocation
(Hermetic Magic). Veiled for centuries, readers can gather information on all aspects of
ritual magic, as well as a step-by-step description as to how a true magician evokes positive beings, i.e.
angel-spirits from the beyond and from the planetary spheres of our solar system. And the counterpart, how a sorcerer and necromancer invokes negative beings, i.e. arch-demons.
The reader will also learn about the significance of the magic circle, the magic triangle, the magic censer, the magic mirror, the magic lamp, the magic wand, the magic robe, and other magical aids
as well as the proper instruction of ritual magic. Pacts between sorcerers and demons are explained,
as well as the preparation and loading of amulets and talismans and the true significance of the Book of Formulas.
Furthermore, Franz Bardon provides hundreds of seals of positive
spiritual beings, angel-spirits, intelligences, genii,
principals and the spirit-beings of the elements. These beings
have been teachers to mankind since time immemorial. They teach
the mature magician subject matters from A to Z, i.e.
arithmetic, alchemy, astrophysics, astrology, astronomy, the
arts, biology, zoology, and so on. In other words every subject
of earthly science and universal laws. They also help every
profession and trade, whether or not they are magicians. Since
Hermetic Magic and the
True Kabbalah are the highest sciences in the universe,
the reader requires the proper theoretical education and
practical training before he can contact these spiritual beings.
Therefore, he must follow the theoretical and practical
instructions in
Initiation into Hermetics and be successful
before he embarks on the practice of magical evocation.
