The Seven Books of the Archidoxis Magica - Of the Supreme Mysteries of Nature

The Magical, Sympathetic, and Antipathic Healing of Wounds and Illnesses. The Mysteries of the twelve SIGNS of the Zodiac.

The Magic of Seals, of Heaven, of Planets and of Nature.

Signs, characters, and letters have their strength and effectiveness. If the nature and proper essence of metals, the influence and power of Heaven and the Planets, the meaning and arrangement of characters, signs, and letters, harmonize and concord simultaneously with the observation of days, times, and hours.

It should not seem extraordinarily incredible that medicine can relieve man, not by way of absorption, but by being worn suspended around the neck in the manner and custom of a Seal.

Could not the renewal of Nature and the combined influence of celestial stars and planets, together with other remedies we derive from metals, herbs, stones, and the like, serve within the body either for hidden members, nerves, or veins, or for the illnesses themselves that collect in the flesh and blood of man and occur everywhere, according to varied causes with the passage of time?

Paracelsus's philosophy is far more elevated than has been claimed; it finds its source in one of the most important keys of esotericism: the power of analogy. A true grimoire with nothing to envy from the most well-known Clavicles, the reader will find above all in the Seven Books of the Archidoxis Magica, amidst many intentional obscurities, great and fruitful truths that have made Paracelsus today's emblematic figure.
