Geosophia: The Argo of Magic
Jake Stratton-Kent
Geosophia traces the development of magic from the Greeks to the
grimoires, laying bare the chthonic roots of goetic ritual. By exposing
the necromantic origins of much of modern magic we are able to reconnect
with the source of our ritual tradition. There is a continuity of
practice in the West which encompasses the pre-Olympian cults of
Dionysus and Cybele, is found in the Greek Magical Papyri and Picatrix
and flows into the grimoires. Rather than a muddle of superstition, the
grimoire tradition is revealed as the living descendant of the ancient
practices of the Goes. This is a work which redefines our understanding
of the Western tradition, one which does not begin with Cabbala or
Solomon, but rather descends into the Underworld and brings forth new
life. The author illuminates scarce and overlooked texts with an
incisive commentary, from volcanic conjurations to over 70 pages dealing
with Picatrix. Following the voyage of the Argonauts, Geosophia offers
biographies of the heroes
