Picatrix.The grimoire to obtain energy from the planets and other less pleasant things...

As we anticipate in the title the Picatrix is a work written at the beginning of the first millennium, apparently by Abū-Maslama Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn 'Abd al-da' im al-Majrīt, an astronomer, mathematician and alchemist of A l-Andalus that tries to gather all the knowledge about astral magic of the Near East of the 8th and 9th centuries, although there are those who disagree with this author and attribute it to an unknown apprentice of a mysterious school of magic from the Middle East, due to the style in which the work is presented, which looks more like a kind of notebook, which was translated into Spanish by order of Alfonso X, the Wise, and acquired great success during the 15th centuries.XVIII, especially during the Renaissance.

The content of the Picatrix is very varied, in which we find talismanic magic and therefore the astrological correspondences in animals, plants, metals, stones, etc.a through which it is intended to attract and channel the energy of the planets so that a given event unfolds according to the will of the practitioner, zodiacal magic and the deanery, to guess and dominate accurately through the forces of the cosmos and nature.Also the numerology in correspondence with the lunar houses to plan the rituals based on the most propitious moment for the energy of the stars to favor the result.

But this mysterious grimoire was not only limited to the different applications of astrology, but also includes a bizarre spellbook made with ingredients as dangerous as hashish, opium and other psychoactive plants that were also used in large quantities to induce altered states of consciousness and astral travels.If instead what was intended was to contact the spirits and dominate their forces, then, the ingredients that were to be used were blood, sperm, urine, earwax, tears in the eyes and saliva.There was no waste here!

On the effectiveness there are no references but something would work given the notoriety that came to reach in its time.Tell us your opinion.
