Codex Arcanus
Nov. 8th, 2023 02:06 pmThe blue light filter setting on my monitors must be working! I am going to see what @ecosophia thinks about the following in a Magic Monday but am curious if others have experiences or insights to share. I also see today there is a post on ecosophia.net in the book club regarding talismans which might relate.
What happened is I recently have acquired a leather bound blank book. The book was originally going to be used in the practices which are part of the Fellowship of the Hermetic Rose course. Maybe still will be?
An idea has come to me. It might be interesting to fill the book with the various symbols I use or have used in my practices. Maybe other symbols as well which I feel are significant magically. One page per symbol possibly? Rituals, too?
This book might I suppose be considered a grimoire. I am curious though about the book itself as an object of power. In my extremely limited understanding of Latin I am considering titling it "Codex Arcanus". Mystery Book of Mysteries or something similar. Implying the book as well as the contents are "mysterious."
I wonder if the book when charged, enchanted, or whatever would be an effective magical tool?
Would a collection of symbols which might not all be focused in a single magical direction create confusion?
Or would the contents help attract a charge of "generic" magical energy?
Would charging each symbol on each page be important or add to some kind of astral fluid turbulence?
Lots of questions!
