The Ghayat Al Hakim has been well known in the history of western ‘sotericism, yet it had evaded being translated into English for many centuries. The four books ofthe Pictrx, of which vyolume two embodies books I and IV, was a large compilation of magical, cultural and hermetic knowledge boasting of over 200 sources. A variety of practices are @vident in the author's descriptions of various cultures toch as the Sabians, Kurds and Nabataears. Many of these teferences are quoted from older sources, some recognized by scholars, others obscure and unconfirmed as yet. Thus (one can read the words of bn Wahshija as he describes the regional practices derived from the Nabataean Agriculture as well as the esoteric doctrines of the [einean al-Safe among others. ‘There is a decidedly practical aspect to the anonymous author's presentation of the material. Whereas admonitions to the reader warn against the practice of magic as unorthodox we yet find the most detailed descriptions of magical rites and alchemical operations. (Qhe of the significant aspects ofthe text can be seen in that it employs the doctrine of correspondences, which were 10 ‘become the trademark ofa steady stream of esoteric works by the likes of Agrippa, Ficino, Mirandola and Brun. it Copyright © 2000, 2007.

Animal sacrifices along with astrological times for their performance are also included here. These materials were thought to have a relationship with the divine world, each being a link in the chain of manifestation. When the Picatrix speaks of spirits [pmeumata}, itis referring to a Stellar substance, which acts as a medium through which the soul may commune with the body. Thus in order to bring mercurial forces to hear in the practitioners sphere, fone would invoke the spirit of mercury thereby aligning that influence between the microcosm and the macracosm. The process isthe same with the construction of talismans whereby the corresponding materials are imbued with a particular stellar force when the planetary body is appropriately aspected. Several Magical Images are described in detail each with its designated planet. These correspondences play a significant role and are 2 defining part of the westem esoteri tradition as it has come down {.us through the centuries. ‘William J Kiesel ‘Autumnal Equinox 2008; Seattle tn ths ok 1 dsr the ple fortune fom he tree vig, a noone i te rd of ng and correption Till eo wor tthe.
