Blending zodiacal divination with Qabalistic magic and Solomonic demons, Jaime Paul Lamb details a system of occult astrology based on ancient texts. He discusses the angels of the Shem HaMephorash and the qabalistic lore surrounding them, the demons of the Ars Goetia and their origin in the Solomonic grimoire tradition, and how each demon is paired with a specific angel. He details the astrological meanings, significations, attributes, sigils, and seals of the 72 angels and their demon counterparts.
The author shows how the 72 Shem HaMephorash angels from the medieval Sefer Raziel HaMalakh and their corresponding 72 demons from the Ars Goetia (a Solomonic grimoire) are each associated with a specific 5-degree arc of the zodiac, with one angel-demon pair, or quinary, per segment. With 30 degrees in each astrological sign, there are thus 6 angel-demon quinaries for each sign, each providing new insights for understanding personality and fate. He examines the zodiac degrees ruled by each angel and demon and explains how the quinaries influence the planets within the 5 degrees that they rule.
Providing the historical, theoretical, and practical tools necessary to apply these 72 quinarian keys of occult astrology, Lamb’s guide allows astrologers to interpret individuals’ charts with greater subtlety and depth while simultaneously enhancing their own magical practice.
“In a decade that has already seen an almost unprecedented resurgence of classical occult knowledge, Jaime Paul Lamb’s The Astrological Goetia marks a significant new contribution. Lamb has taken one of the neglected corners of magical lore—the symbolism and spirits of the 72 quinaries of the zodiac—and unfolded it into a fascinating and practical system that bridges the space between astrology and ceremonial magic.”
“By exploring the history of astrology from ancient Babylon, Egypt, and Greece to the medieval grimoire tradition, Jaime Paul Lamb makes the complex subject of astrology easier to understand and, for the skeptic, more plausible. The Astrological Goetia bridges the gap between astrology and magic, with Lamb illuminating the meaning of such material as angels and demons. Detailed historical descriptions of planetary angels and demons (and their influences) bring a new dimension to the subject and remind us of the depth of thought of our historical predecessors.”
“This book breaks new ground with an illumined peek into ancient metaphysics to reveal the highly secretive mappings of the primordial lights of existence as scribed by the ancient Jewish sages in the form of the Shem HaMephorash. The Astrological Goetia is poised to be a valuable addition to the library of every seeker, offering insights into both the esoteric knowledge and practical aspects of occult astrology and angelic mysticism.”
“A remarkably thorough and digestible look at the astrological wonders of the cascading fractals of consciousness known to kabbalists and magicians as the 72 angels of the Shem HaMephorash.”
