About the Book

First and foremost, this is a practical work, combining earlier texts to provide a working manual which would influence subsequent works like the Grimorium Verum and Grand Grimoire. Heavily footnoted and with gorgeous colour illustrations, this work is essential reading for practitioners and students of the grimoire tradition. The value of a grimoire manuscript may be seen in what it continues from the past, and what it adds from its unique synergy of material. Sitting firmly in the Solomonic stream of grimoires, The Magical Art (Welcome MS 983) is an early eighteenth-century French text which includes material from the Heptameron and the Key of Solomon, along with unique material not found elsewhere. The inclusion of the first known examples of material from the Grimorium Verum, one of the most popularly worked grimoires of today, further adds to the significance of this work. The influence of Christian rather than Jewish Kabbalah stands out as a unique feature, as seen in the use of the Pentagrammaton and the psalm annotations of the German polymath Athanasius Kircher (creator of the modern Tree of Life image). Another significant figure referenced in this grimoire is the French alchemist and magician Arnaldus de Villa Nova. Among the numerous spirits listed is a curious national 'Spirit of France', and the archangel Uriel is also found in an operation of onimancy (skrying on the fingernail), harking back to the divinations of the ancient world.

Review :
"The Magical Art is a wonderful example of the synthesis of material from diverse grimoires into a working manual, drawing from a palette of better and lesser-known works. Aaman Lamba has carefully and thoroughly set this book in the context of the tradition, contributing another valuable piece to the expanding grimoire jigsaw." - David Rankine, author of The Grimoire Encyclopaedia "Dive into the mystical depths of L'Art Magique as presented by Aaman Lamba, a treasure trove of grimoire materials and spells that bridges the ancient and the contemporary. This essential volume offers original translations juxtaposed with the original French, complete with direct manuscript graphics and invaluable editorial insights. Lamba, known for his definitive work on The Complete Illustrated Grand Grimoire, brings forth a collection spearheaded by variants of the Grimorium Verum, revealing the practical aspects of conjuring and the rich tapestry of a magician's mindset. A must-read for grimoire aficionados, The Magical Art serves as a gateway to understanding the legacy and application of magical arts, resonating powerfully with today's seekers of mystical knowledge." - Dr. R. Andrew Chesnut, author of Devoted to Death: Santa Muerte, the Skeleton Saint "Assembled from multiple sources, some now lost, this important text is crucial to reconstructing and understanding the widely influential and popular Grimorium Verum. Aaman Lamba's translation from the old French has finally made it accessible to a wide audience." - Joseph H. Peterson, founder of Twilit Grotto: Archives of Western Esoterica "It is a delight to live in this golden age of magical translation. Hermes Hermeneutes, the god of translators, has clearly lent his blessing to this project; it is clear, well-researched, and, most importantly, useful." - Sara Mastros, author of Sorcery of Solomon: A Guide to the 44 Pentacles of the Magician King "I had the privilege of reading the manuscript of Aaman Lamba's forthcoming book, The Magical Art or "L'Art Magique," which he has expertly translated and extensively researched. Without a doubt, it is an essential contribution to the realm of esoteric studies. Building upon his remarkable contribution in The Complete Illustrated Grand Grimoire, this latest book will not disappoint. The astounding level of research and meticulous attention to detail in this book truly conveys Aaman's love for the grimoire traditions. I think, just like his previous book, this one is essential reading if you are interested in occult studies, and especially if you find yourself down the grimoire path." - Baal Kadmon, Author, Linguist and Occultist
