Stark (Washington D.C., The Catholic University of America, 2009). It's a great read, full of excellent insights into the language and rhetoric present in grimoires and other occult writing of the time. I am sure you will find it of interest. > Regards, > Chris Miles > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Society for The Academic Study of Magic on behalf of Bob P. > Sent: Fri 12/25/2009 7:49 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [ACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC] Angelic Investigation > > Merry Yule (hailing Discordia), > In my current work on angelic magic, post John Dee and Sir Edward > Kelley, I am endeavoring to research the history, practice, grimoires, etc., > from 1700-1900 in the west.
