Grimoire Conjuration

Planetary, Olympic, and Infernal Spirits

Grimoire conjuration has a mystique resulting from the centuries of grimoires, almost always incomplete and offering pieces of the jigsaw. This workshop pieces together the jigsaw and shows the sequence of steps and actions required for conjuration. Rather than being a complex and tortuous process, it is explored as a series of simple steps which build on each other to achieve successful conjuration.

The emphasis will be on planetary spiritual creatures, include the planetary intelligences, planetary angels, Olympic Spirits, and also the demon bishops for an example of working with the infernals. There is a lot to cover so this will be an intensive weekend!

The topics explored will include:

• Planning your conjuration – why do conjuration, what do you want to achieve?

• Indoors or outdoors

• Question lists for spirits – testing spirits

• Magical momentum – how to improve your chances of success

• Sigil construction

• Spirit hierarchies

• Timings (planetary hours, astrology, weather concerns)

• Consecrations – sequence of perishable and imperishable items

• Tools & materia magica

• License to Remain

• Fragrances

• The magic circle – consecration circles, divination circles and conjuration circles

• The triangle
