The Secrets of Planetary Magic is an excellent introduction to traditional planetary magic by Christopher Warnock, the leading astrological magician and a master traditional astrologer. It contains insights gleaned from a decade of practice and study of traditional planetary magic and is an excellent introduction to traditional astrological magic. The Secrets of Planetary Magic explains the theory of planetary magic, the planetary hours and planetary hour elections, advanced planetary magic and contains a complete set of seven planetary images for talismans and planetary talisman consecration instructions.
Pretty much an indispensable book for those looking to work with planetary magic. Covers the basics of planetary ritual and the calculation of planetary hours. The inclusion of a ritual as well as a talisman for each planet is very nice indeed. The part I like the most is the large amount of associations for every planet culled from the likes of Lilly, the Key of Solomon, and the Picatrix. Everything you could desire, all in one book. Should be on all practitioners bookshelves.
Christopher Warnock se confirma como uno de los escritores y astromagos más versados en el tema con este libro. Para todo interesado en la magia, este libro es una gran guía para entender la esencia de cada planeta y aprender a utilizarla de manera sabia de acuerdo a los propósitos de cada ritual. Me gustó mucho la visión histórica del tema y cómo lo trajo al mundo moderno.
It was a great useful book. Been practicing planetary ceremonial magick techniques for years and this book definitely helped me understand in depth what to utilize for better connection. I will say that the sigils they provide are not seemingly rooted in history so I would recommend sourcing those in other places. Aside from that wonderful read & helpful overall. Also short if that matters
