From Bhanu Kapil’s The Vertical Interrogation Of Strangers

Book of Magical Charms (17th cent.)

This work, penned in England by an unknown author, is a distinctive collection of selected passages from works on magic and various occult arts that describe everything from speaking with spirits, to cheating at dice, to curing a toothache. The book also includes a section of Latin prayers, litanies, and other magical charms that seem to stick more closely to mainstream religious practices.

archetypes are rendered by increasing the passage of time's speed which reveals a given figure or subject matter's most distinctive & consistently recurrent traits as they reappear & reinforce a distinction over time. any perceived archetype in the present is, thus, the very countenance of primordial history itself since the beginning, looking back.

The Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum is a late renaissance (c.1619 or 1620) grimoire and esoteric print of calendar engravings. Its full title is Magnum Grimorium sive Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum Profundissimam Rerum Secretissimarum Contemplationem Totiusque Philosophiae Cognitionem Complectens. It measures more than four feet long and about two feet wide, and includes an early example of a Pentagrammaton.

The “author” in the 1619/1620 Frankfurt print is given as Johann Baptist Grossschedel von Aicha, and attributes some of the engravings to Tycho Brahe. The original engraver is given as Theodor de Bry, as first published in 1582. This work predated, and influenced, the Rosicrucian furor.

The Musica Universalis (Harmony of the Spheres) - Ratios of Orbital Distance and Orbital Periods. Musica Universalis (Music of the Spheres) is an Ancient Philosophical concept that regards Proportions in the movements of Celestial bodies of the Sun and Planets as a Form of Musica (the Medieval Latin name for Music). This “Music” is not literally Audible, but a Harmonic and Mathematical relationship between our Star and it’s Satellites. This design is inspired by theory and writings taken from Johannes Kepler’s “Mysterium Cosmographicum” (The Secret of the Universe) where he explored the relationships of Harmonies in our Solar System and sought to uncover the “Music” therein. In this graphic, the Circles represent Orbital Resonance, which occurs when two Planets have an Orbit that are a simple Integer Ratio of each other. For example, consider the Orbits of Earth and Venus (8 : 13), which means the two Planets arrive at almost the same position after 8 Earth Orbits and 13 Venus Orbits. The underlying Circles represent relationships of Orbital Distance as calculated from each Planets semi-minor Axis - which is the shortest length in a Planets elliptical Orbit around the Sun. What is most striking, is that the mirrored structure that arises in the semi-minor Axis between: - the first and last for Planets (both 4:1) - the last and first Planets (both 25 : 1) - and the fourth Planets as counted in from the 1st and last (25 : 4) - Mars from Mercury, and Saturn from Pluto In this view of the semi-minor and Orbital Resonaces overlaid, the whole Solar System takes on the appearance of a carefully Mathematically Balanced ballet of Harmonic Relationships and shared Proportions. In some instances the Ratios and Relationships depicted here are reputed to be very accurate (in terms of Cosmological distances which are vast) coming close to 99.8%.
