In this month’s episode we are very honoured to have David Rankine, author of the Grimoire Encyclopaedia, return to the podcast to discuss his latest book, Claves Intelligentiarum, A Complete Practical Manual of Conjuration of the Planetary Intelligences. Utilising his extensive practical knowledge, honed over four decades of practice, David has brought together a text which guides the aspiring Solomonic magician through the process of conjuration of the seven planetary Intelligences as first outlined by Cornelius Agrippa in his Three Books of Occult Philosophy. In this episode we discuss David’s inspiration for creating the book, how he approached the work of the modern grimoire revivalist in synthesising a historically attested and complete process for the conjuration. The nature of the Intelligences, and manner in which their seals are produced, as well as David being the first person to publish the corrected seals of these spirits since they were first printed some 500 years ago.
