Actual picture of Agrippa’s Hell Hound:

This is one of my favorite quotes in Agrippa’s “Three Books of Occult Philosophy” (in turn quoted from Ficino). It compares how magicians using many things for a magical working, unite into a whole greater than its parts - not unlike bees making honey from many flowers.

My friends are moving and I saw this. I spent 10 years on this thing! The insult!!!

The best footnote ever. This is from Richard Burton’s translation of Arabian Nights.

Don't make Agrippa sad. He had a hard life. I'll talk about that too.

I thought I'd post a bit about myself. I translated "Three Books of Occult Philosophy", released in 2021 - the first English translation in almost 400 years. I'm a traditional astrologer available for consultations. Support my Patreon for my future work! www.ericpurdue.com patreon.com/epurdue

My Patreon is up! The link is in my Linktree. Let's face it, though "Three Books" has been a great success, metaphysical books don't usually earn a living wage unless you crank them out. I hope this Patreon can free me up more from my dayjob life & free me up for writing. More time = better books.

I had an amazing 2 week excursion to Yosemite and its environs with @omenhawk.bsky.social. I walked up steep trails and gazed over waterfalls. Even after all of that, I ended up spraining my ankle while walking out of Hawk’s door at their home. Never leave your house.

Good news everyone! You can buy Jean-Baptiste Morin's book "Longitudinum terrestrium nec-non coelestium, nova et hactenus optata scientia." on Walmart for $38! Wal-Mart always has the best pre-modern scientific books.
