Amid the great genres of European magical books are the Scandinavian
Svartkonstböcker, or ‘Books of Black Arts’, the privately kept practical
manuals of magic used by rural charmers and practitioners of folk magic.
Incorporating charms, prayers, and curses, as well as medicine, alchemy
and physical experiments. Many of these books survive today in
universities and private collections. While bearing some relationship to
the corpus of European grimoires which feature angelic and demonic
magic, the Svartkonstböcker as texts of magic are a class all their own.
Salomonic Magical Arts consists of two such volumes, originally
handwritten in the early eighteenth century, and named "The Red Book"
and The Black Book" by one of their owners. These volumes passed through
the hands of priests, and cunning men, before coming to rest in academic
institutions. Invoking a variety of spiritual powers ranging from Christ
to Beelzebub, its magical formulae, numbering in excess of 450
individual receipts, serve as a testament to the endurance of sorcery in
the early modern era. First published in Swedish in 1918, Salomonic
Magic Arts is here published in English for the first time. Introducing
the work is a substantive essay by the translator, which places the book
in its cultural and magico-historical context, including Swedish
cunning-folk traditions (trolldom), the European grimoire tradition,
traditional magical healing, pagan belief, and the relationship between
folk magic and the church. Salomonic Magical Arts is illustrated
throughout with sigils and magical seals drawn by Maria Olsson after the
original source documents, and were commissioned for this first English
edition.
