The Heptameron because the copy I have, has the evocations in Latin. I do love the Goetia too, which to me seems almost ike a marriage between the Heptameron and Pseudomonarchia Daemonum.

In the beginning of this year, in some book stores has appeared the publication, by the Academy of Athens, of its newly acquired manuscript.
As its title, has been used the name of the person who preserved it in his library. So, it is titled “Bernardakeios Magical Codex” (Athens, 2006). It is edited by Papathomopoulos Manolis.
The author and origins of the manuscript are unknown. The manuscript is dated at the end of the 19th century, but the material in it, is dated much older, as far back as the 4th century in some parts. According to the editor, it is obvious that the writer was copying from another manuscript or manuscripts. The first pages of the manuscript are missing, leaving 500 pages, written mostly in a dialect of Greek (the language is difficult). Some parts are written in Turkish, Arabic, and Persian language using Greek letters. The editor mentions that the hand writing of the manuscript changes in some parts, but he can’t say positively, if this is due to the existence of more than one writer, or the same writer was writing in a hurry (the change of the writing style gives exactly this impression). The language and the grammar also differ from one part of the manuscript to the other. In some parts the language is very literary, in some other cases it is colloquial of it simplest form.
I could recognize some of the parts to being copied from some other manuscripts of National Library of Athens of 16th and 17th century. Some parts were copied exactly, but some others were modified. Some of the seals where modified also (or copied wrongly). Other material again I couldn’t find where it has came from. The text is mostly in the Christian and Hebrew tradition, but there are also passages of the Koran and in some cases Greek ancient gods are addressed.
Overall I found the material very interesting.


Luckily I noticed it mentioned in a discussion in a forum.


I am not a practitioner (I have experimented some times and make some spells, but that’s all), so I don’t have experiences of its use. I had two side-effects, both in cases when I was copying from it to my notebook, one auditive, one visual, both from a mirror that happens to be in the living room, where I am usually studying late at night.
Also, the lights in the living room and in the hall, lately, have gone insane for some reason.

My favourite is Clavicula Salomonis...
-because is the most complete..
-all though my practises come mostly from Eliphas Levi's tradition...

Grimoirium Verum


Seems to me to be one of the most powerful grimoires around, with a huge amount of other grimoires related to it, plus it's highly underrated and presents a better understanding of the spirits from the lesser key. Very faustian, which is also very interesting.


Not yet, but I'll be collecting the tools needed within the next few months. Big community online, outside of sacred-magick, that supports it's use (more-so than the lesser key).
