Happy holidays everyone! This month we are very happy to welcome back José Leitão and Brian Johnson who have teamed up to bring us a truly fascinating addition to the Cyprianic corpus titled, ‘Seven Magic Hours of Cyprian the Mage, a study and translation of mss 174 n.155 from the Portuguese National Library, an Iberian book of Pacts and Treasure hunting’.

In today's episode José and Brian describe the history of the Cyprianic tradition, the new discoveries of the French and Spanish influences which flowed into this diabolic Portuguese Grimoire, as well as the nature of the talismanic object described within its worn and damaged pages.

You can find José’s work through Hadean Press:

Welcome listeners to the Sagittarian fires of 2025, in today’s episode we are delighted to present Kadmus for the second time on the show. Kadmus has developed many of his earlier ideas from his essay, ‘Every Nekuomanteia is a Katabasis’ into perhaps one of the single greatest texts on the subject of Necromancy I have ever read.

This book is not simply a how-to manual, but instead a deep exploration of the subject and dramatis personae of epistemic evocation, or ‘Learning from Legendary Practitioners’. Kadmus is a teacher and author, focusing on philosophy, myth, politics and the multivalence of Pagan thought.

Today we discuss a huge range of subjects concerning necromancy, the myths of Circe, Medea, and the hermaphrodite Tiresias, Pre-Mycenaean oral mythology, how to build report with the shades of the Dead and much more.
