The Heptameron, also known as the Magical Elements of Peter de Abano, is a book written by the famous Renaissance philosopher and occultist, Henry Cornelius Agrippa. The book is a collection of seven treatises or chapters, each one dealing with a different aspect of magic and the occult. The first chapter discusses the nature of magic and its relationship to the natural world, while the second chapter focuses on the different types of spirits and their roles in magic. The third chapter explores the use of talismans and amulets, while the fourth chapter delves into the art of divination and prophecy. The fifth chapter is concerned with the summoning and binding of spirits, while the sixth chapter deals with the creation and use of magical circles. The final chapter provides instructions for performing various magical rituals, including the creation of a magical mirror and the invocation of angels.Throughout the book, Agrippa draws on a variety of sources, including classical texts, medieval grimoires, and his own personal experiences, to provide a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of magic. Despite its age, the Heptameron remains a valuable resource for modern practitioners of the occult and those interested in the history of magic and esotericism.THIS 40 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, by Henry Cornelius Agrippa.
