Magister Officiorum by Julio Cesar Ody

Magister Officiorum: The Ceremony of Solomonic Magic is a concise yet potent manual for practitioners of Solomonic evocation. Drawn from extensive personal practice, Ody’s work blends the Western grimoire tradition with currents of Espiritismo and Obeah, presenting evocation as a physical interaction between magician and spirit rather than a purely symbolic rite.

Illustrated with pen-and-ink artwork by Morgan Singer, this text serves as both a record of attainment and a practical guide for effective ritual work.

What this book covers

Ody addresses key practical foundations often only implied in classical grimoires:

• The place of evocation, circle, and the magical book
• Ritual tools and regalia: black-handled knife, brazen vessel, robes, pentagonal and hexagonal figures
• Ritual purity and the authority required to command spirits
• Methods to ensure success in evocation
• How to obtain a key for the binding of a King
• Techniques for bottling spirits
• Workings involving the vessel and the skull
• A rite to obtain a patron spirit under the auspices of Lucifer
• Using séance structure to establish spirit cults (solo or group work)

The result is guidance that clarifies the operational mechanics behind traditional grimoire instructions, making the art workable for both newcomers and experienced practitioners.
