The first volume, The Sworn and Secret Grimoire, used the Grimoire of Turiel as a starting point for engaging with the ritual process when working with grimoiric spirits and can be thought of as an ‘occult primer’. In this second volume, Cyprian’s Offices of Spirits, Jake moves us into the realm of Cyprianic spirit-work, the mysteries of the Lunar Mansions, and an investigation of the Kings and Queens of the Elementals. Moving between history and practice, Cyprian’s Offices of Spirits, as its predecessor did with Turiel, takes its inspiration from Nathaniel Moulth’s Petit Manuel du Devin et du Sorcier, through which it highlights the folkloric elements of grimoiric practice and the benefits of ritual timing.Dr. Alexander Cummins’ foreword beautifully outlines the contents of Cyprian’s Offices of Spirits as well as Jake Stratton-Kent’s contributions to our understanding of grimoire practice, closing with a beautiful tribute to Jake himself.ContentsOn Terrestrial Intelligence: A Foreword A Collect of Cyprian the Mage Theologicon …Introductory …Notes on the Sublunar Sphere in Antiquity …The Three Worlds Astrological Considerations …Astrology for Golems The Lunar Mansions …Example Star Positions, Agrippa Vs Precession Context And Origins …Hecate and the Dactyls in the Papyri …Other PGM References …The Mansions and their Symbols …Lunar Animals from PGM The Lunar Mansions and the Blue Grimoires …The Gospel According to Nathaniel Moulth …Moulth’s Talismans and the Gods …Other Gods The Spirit Catalogue of the Petit Manuel Baalberith and the Sabbat Paralda, Lunar Talismans, and the Behenian Stars …Practical Implications …Animal Forms …Sigils Of the Behenian Stars and Magical Materials …Practice The Spirit Catalogue Continued …Angels as Elemental Cohorts of the Scott Catalogue …Notes on the Subordinate Spirits The Lunar Mansions Continued …The Mansions as Map of the Solar Year Appendix: The Lunar Mansions in Agrippa and the Picatrix Afterword: Something To Ponder Select Bibliography Index of Tables General IndexNight School Volume II: Cyprian’s Offices of Spirits Jake Stratton-Kent ISBN 978-1-914166-32-7 (Hardback
