The Archidoxes of Magic is a book written by the Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus, also known as Theophrastus. It is a collection of treatises on the practice of magic, including the use of talismans, amulets, and other magical objects. Paracelsus believed that magic was a natural force that could be used to heal the body and the soul, and he sought to integrate this belief with his medical practice. The book also includes instructions on the creation of various potions and elixirs, and explores the properties of various plants and minerals. The Archidoxes of Magic is considered a seminal work in the history of Western esotericism, and continues to be studied and practiced by occultists and alchemists today.Of the Supreme Mysteries of Nature; of the Spirits of Planets; Secrets of Alchemy; Occult Philosophy; Signs of the Zodiack, Magical Cure of Diseases; and Celestial Medicines; Partial Contents: Of Simple Fire; Multiplicity of Fire; The Metals of the Planets; Spirit of the Sun; Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn; Of Tinctures how they are made; Conjunction of Male and Female; To make the Furnace; To place the Fire; The Red Colour; Of Consecrations; Of Ceremonies Magical; Of Conjurations; Supernatural Diseases must have Supernatural Cures; Visions and Dreams; Dreams natural and Supernatural; Of Imagination; Of Hidden Treasure; The Abuse of Magick; Preservatives against Witchcraft; Manner of helping persons bewitched; Of the mystery of the twelve Signs; Celestial Medicines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
