We are very pleased to introduce a new title in our Czech Hermetics series.

Quintscher's (and also Lasenic's) 1931 The Book of Genii is a hermetic work containing a practical description of the competencies of the 72 genii of the Mercurian sphere, the magical sigills of the genii and opposite-genii of Mercury, the genii and opposite-genii of the zodiac, and a set of talismans of the Mercurian sphere. It thus forms a fundamental and comprehensive evocation system.

The magical sigills from the Book of Genii were published in their writings by prominent Czech hermeticists of the mid-20th century, František Kabelák and Franz Bardon.

The English edition is based on Lasenic's between wars czech translation, which has been collated and corrected according to the oldest known German typescript. The publication is still able to help advanced hermeticists on their reintegration journey in their search for the idea of man and god-humanity.

The Book of Genii (written in 1931) was one of the sources for The Practice of Magical Evocation (written in 1950s) by Franz Bardon.

Unlike that book, The Book of Genii also contains the signs of the counter-genii of the spheres of Mercury and the Zodiac.

A unique lodge work that has been published in color only in Czech and English.

The book is offered here at a wholesale price.

An old treasure for modern times!
