Description
A printed version of Kawākib al-Sayyāra, bound together with other manuscripts. This text discusses the seven planets and is considered one of the most prominent works on astrology and planetary magic in the ancient heritage. The work integrates Hermetic philosophy with ancient astronomical beliefs, positing that each wandering planet possesses a specific spiritual influence and energy. The text systematically examines each of the seven celestial bodies, detailing their distinctive metaphysical properties and the nature of their influence on terrestrial events and human affairs. Rooted in the Hermetic tradition, which emphasizes the correspondence between the macrocosm of the heavens and the microcosm of earthly existence, the manuscript presents planetary magic as a disciplined practice for channeling these energies. This work represents a significant synthesis of astrological theory, magical practice, and philosophical cosmology from the ancient and medieval periods.
