THE ATLAS OF THE EMERALD TABLET

The Picatrix (Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm)

the Picatrix
nature
A long Arabic handbook of astral magic, translated into Latin at the court of Alfonso X — the most substantial of the technical Hermetica: talismans, planetary hours, images cut at the right moment under the right star.

Kept in the pack to hold a distinction the tradition's admirers usually blur. There is a philosophical Hermetica and a technical one, the way Taoism has daojia and daojiao. [REF] only — this app names the operative literature and gives it no instrument.
