Various grimoires attributed to the authorship of one Honorius – both the pope and the magician – circulated from the seventeenth century onwards, and combined planetary, angelological, and demonological sorceries to summon and command devilish spirits assigned to the days of the week.

This class-bundle explores the early modern grimoiric “Honorian” operations with the Four Kings, as well as these grimoires’ appended Books of Secrets, presenting a huge range of folk grimoiric operations, charms, spells, and talismanic magical items – from instructions to create magical garters to travel without tiring and the infamous Hand of Glory, to folk magical prayers and charms to cure fevers, staunch bleeding, extinguish fires, win at dice games, and render oneself impervious to weapons.

This class-bundle includes: 

An illustrated lecture of two hours duration
Lecture slide-deck
Bibliography of further recommended study on grimoiric magic
