5 Early Grimoires of The Olympic Spirits by Benjamin Adamah (trans)
Description
5 Early Grimoires of The Olympic Spirits is the first publication in the series German Occult Manuscripts in Translation. The Olympic Spirits, also known as 'Olympick Spirits' or 'Olympian Spirits', constitute a group of seven occult entities that dwell between the angelic and demonic realms. They are documented in various Renaissance and post-Renaissance works on ceremonial magic. Like the planetary angels, they are all linked to a specific planet.
This is the first book that compiles various 16th and 17th-century occult documents centered around the Olympic Spirits to provide a deeper understanding from a magical and historical point of view. Three German grimoires, one 'Olympic' chapter from the Faust grimoires, and one original Latin manuscript published in Prague, are offered to you in English translation - including editorial notes, an introduction, and a planetary hours appendix.
These works are:
• Theosophia Pneumatica (1686)
• The German Arbatel de Magia Veturum (1686)
• Fausti Höllenzwang - Mirakel-Kunst und Wunder-Buch (1504)
• The Faustian chapter Die Pentacula derer Sieben Olympischen Geister (1505) containing beautiful deviant Olympic Spirits sigils
• The Latin Vera Atque Brevis Descriptio Virgulae Mercurialis (1532)
The latter is a rare magico-alchemical treatise on the Olympic Spirits.

Out of print first hardback edition, limited to 350 copies only. Published by Kamuret Press 2021.
Condition: Fine, unread copy. Extremely minor crease to top right dustwrapper, otherwise completely pristine.
Edited, annotated and introduced by Richard Kaczynski, this edition far surpasses that found in the Collected Works: red and black ink has been employed to capture the feel of the 1904 edition; a 50 page introduction by Crowley’s foremost biographer introduces the reader to the many themes to be found throughout the book; finally, copious end-notes further elucidate concepts and ideas in need of clarification.
From the introduction:
‘The Sword of Song is arguably the greatest story never told. It is a book of firsts: his first manifesto, his first talismanic book, his first mystical essays, his first nod to sexual mysteries, and an enticing preview of what was to come in The Book of the Law, the spirit-writing that would form the cornerstone of his philosophy’.
