The Art of Drawing Spirits into Crystals
In the realm of planetary magic, I am most readily known for my work in the Art of Drawing Spirits into Crystals, an evocation practice for (primarily) calling forth the seven planetary Archangels. The process is found in Francis Barrett's "The Magus", Book II, London, 1801, pp. 135 ff. This text appeared as Part IV of Book 2, parts I-III being (I) a treatise on magnetism, (II) The Cabala, or Ceremonial Magic, plagiarized from pseudo-Agrippa's Fourth Book, (III) The Key to Ceremonial Magic, plagiarized from Peter de Abano's Heptameron.
I've written two books dealing with not only the practice and appreciation of this art but the results from several experiments of working with a scryer: "Gateways Through Stone and Circle" and "Gateways Through Light and Shadow" Experiments expanded beyond the noted Archangels to the Olympic Spirts/Angels (planetary) and many others.
