The Occult Classic

Complete in One Volume
The Picatrix is the most famous grimoire of astrological magic and one of the most important works of medieval and Renaissance magic. With all four books complete in one volume, translated and annotated by the noted scholars, magicians and astrologers John Michael Greer and Christopher Warnock, Picatrix takes its rightful place as an essential occult text for modern esotericists. Picatrix is an encyclopedic work with over 300 pages of Hermetic magical philosophy, ritual, talismanic and natural magic. Greer & Warnock’s complete translation is clear and lucid with numerous annotations.
Originally written sometime in the ninth century by an anonymous Arab wizard in North Africa or Spain, and credited in the fashion of the time to the notable Sufi and scholar al-Majriti, it was originally titled Ghayat al-Hakim, “The Goal of the Sage.”
This version of Picatrix is based primarily on David Pingree’s critical edition of the Latin translation made at the court of Alfonso the Wise of Castile in 1256; the editors have also consulted the manuscript copy of the Latin text owned by English astrologers.
