THE BOOK OF CELESTIAL MAGIC: PLANETARY RITUALS FROM THE HERMETIC ARTS By Lee Vaughn A complete guide to the ancient art of planetary magic - the living science of heaven and earth. From the temples of Egypt to the manuscripts of the Renaissance, the wisdom of celestial magic has endured as one of humanity's most sacred and transformative sciences. This book reveals how the divine powers of the seven classical planets - Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon - have shaped philosophy, ritual, and the hidden structure of the soul. Inside this beautifully structured grimoire, you will discover: The true foundations of Hermetic cosmology - how the planets, elements, and spheres form a living hierarchy of divine intelligence. The correspondences of the seven heavens - metals, colours, herbs, stones, angels, and virtues of every planetary power. The sacred geometry of ritual - the creation of the circle, the consecration of the magician's tools, and the architecture of the cosmos in symbolic form. The doctrine of celestial time - planetary hours, days, and the rhythm through which the magician aligns with the heavens. Sigils, seals, and talismans - how celestial images embody spiritual light within matter through number and proportion. The orations and invocations of the planets - ancient hymns and prayers drawn from the Picatrix and Sefer Raziel, restored as acts of divine communion. The inner alchemy of transformation - the awakening of the planetary body, the ascent of the soul through the spheres, and the illumination of consciousness. Comprehensive appendices and glossaries - verified correspondences, traditional orations, and primary Hermetic definitions drawn from authentic historical sources. </l
