A magical text studied by Dr John Dee, Frederick Hockley, A.E.Waite and Aleister Crowley, the ARBATEL stands unique in the elegance and simplicity of its magical instructions.
Processes for the conjuring of the Seven Olympic Spirits, prayers and orisons of the rites are straightforward and focused on results. As well as the practical spirit magic of the Arbatel, we find a high tone both in its mystical and philosophical attitudes. Teaching us to seek the miraculous, free from the sinister elements of the lower grimoires, ARBATEL is a book of wonders steeped in the Angelic world.
