Preface

There is a wide choice of books on the subject of magic available today and such texts have been relatively numerous throughout the history as well. Of course, in this book word magic does not refer to card tricks, pulling rabbits out of a hat and similar shows, but genuine occult practices.

Despite the fact that magic was practiced since before written history, many people are unsure what to think of it. Does it really work? While there is a variety of scientific data and a plethora of trustworthy testimonies suggesting that there is something to it, some people religiously believe in all of it, while others vigorously deny any suggestion of it. Hopefully, this volume will give the reader an opportunity to form his or her own opinion. The title Hexagradior - the bible of magic has been chosen as a solution to the challenge of explaining in one line what the book is all about. In short, a book for everyone who is interested in the subject of magic, both from traditional and practical side of it, regardless of a degree of previous knowledge about it.

The center stone of this publication is the Hexagradior text. Many people with an interest in occult have heard about a book that makes all spells work and turns anyone who reads it into a magician - the Hexagradior. Additionally, to make the information on the subject of magic well-rounded and complete, a plethora of other texts has been added, referencing various spells, curses and information on occult traditions throughout the history, while also briefly explaining some elements of belief systems of religions from which they stem.

Along with a variety of traditional texts and spells, the book you hold contains passages from a number of occult volumes some of which are widely known while others may be more obscure. Clavicula Salomonis, Enchiridion, Grimorium Verum, Grand Grimoire, Lemegeton, Le Petit Albert – all these occult volumes and a number of others are presented in here. In short – a bit of everything that a practitioner of magic could need. This concept is not new. Covens and individuals through centuries have been compiling their grimoires, collecting spells one by one and writing them down. All the spells they needed and ceremonies they used were thus kept in one place. This book was made with a similar purpose in mind. 

Considering the fact that Christian Bible is also a compilation of various writings by various authors, the choice of name for this book was inevitable. A text which is said to turn everyone who reads it into a magician is combined in the same volume with diverse occult texts of various authors throughout history, covering just about every conceivable type of occult practice. What other title could better and more succinctly describe what awaits the reader inside, but Hexagradior - the Bible of Magic.

Chapter 1 – Magic and how to learn it

Terminology

The word magic comes from the tribe of Magi who formed a caste of priest in ancient Medea. They were renowned for their knowledge of religions, astrology, divination and generally all practices that fall under the term magic. The three most famous Magi are those described in the Bible as three wise men who came to baby Jesus by following a star. In the past there were many stories about the skills of the Magi, so as the stories about them were spread around, their name became associated with occult practices and through Latin word Magia it found its way into almost all languages in the world.

Magic is usually defined as causing changes to occur in accordance with one’s will by non-physical means. Sometimes it is also spelled as magick by people who wish to emphasize the difference from the entertainment or stage magic. This alternative spelling was used in archaic English spelling and then re-introduced by Aleister Crowley. Ever since his time it has been gaining popularity, although it is not a recognized dictionary term in any language at the time this volume is being published.

Some divide magic into Black and White. Black Magic is then defined as those occult operations performed either with some malevolent intention or by summoning evil spirits. This means that even if the intention of the ritual is positive (such as love spell) it is still black magic if one summoned a demon for such a purpose. White Magic on the contrary, would be the one performed for good purposes and by summoning good spirits such as angels. Very recent addition to the vocabulary is a term Red Magic, also called Love Magic. Many occultists disagree with attributing any colors to magic arguing that it is just a tool or set of skills. Black or white is the purpose that people use it for.

Practice of magic is present among people of all religions, although it is considered a sin in many faiths. Due to the fact that it is present in various societies and in a variety of forms, terminology and rituals used in magic can be very different from one religion to another. Practitioners can also have various interpretations of words and concepts. Some, for example, call male witches warlocks. Most Wiccans disagree claiming that warlock is a term for the witch who betrays the coven. They maintain that proper title is witch for both males and females. Such interpretation comes from the fact that word warlock originates from the old English expression woer loga meaning oath breaker or traitor, and was used by Christians as a derogatory word for Pagans. Only later this word came in use for person dealing with magic.

Thus we arrive to the point that must be made at the very beginning of the book; terminology and various interpretations of texts and words can be a big issue in the occult world. While many disagree with assigning colors to magic, the fact is that many people use the terms Black Magic and White Magic. It is also a fact that most English-speaking people would recognize a word warlock as synonymous with wizard or man dealing with magic, although most Wiccans would loudly protest. Another fact is that most people use a term magic despite the fact that followers of Crowley’s ideas (and not only them) insist on spelling it as magick.

It would be an exercise in futility to try and please everyone by using exact terms which they would prefer, so only standard words understandable to everyone will be used. This is a book about magic. It is not a work about Crowley, Enochian magic, Goetic evocations, Wicca or any single religion or tradition, but magic in all its forms because it is a simple fact that magic is, as has ever been, present in all religions. No faith or tradition can claim it works only for us and not for anyone else. Thus the language and practices described will not be biased nor limited to any religion or tradition.

Is it real?

Another thing that deserves to be addressed right in the start is a question perpetuated by skeptics - Is that real or just tricks and stories?

All religions on this world claim that occult is something real and very serious. Religions rest upon paranormal. There is hardly any person on this earth who hasn't heard about something supernatural that occurred in their surrounding. Yet, some think that it is all just people's imagination and dispute that any changes by means of magic actually occur. They claim that any spell, telepathy, telekinesis and anything similar can be explained as trickery, delusion or accidental event.

However, skeptics hate to admit that just as not every report about supernatural occurrence is trustworthy, neither is every denial. Sometimes the critics are so adamant in their disbelief that it creates tragicomic situations. For example when scientists in the former USSR performed experiments with a medium Nina Kulagina, they first searched her for possible magnets, wires, metal objects and similar. Nothing was found. Then they x-rayed her to make sure that there are no magnets or metal objects inside her body(?!?). Again, nothing was found, and scientists were satisfied that there is nothing in or around her that can be used for trickery, so the research started. One experiment involved a fully closed plexiglas container with a pack of cigarettes and similar non-magnetic objects inside. Mrs Kulagina was able to move the objects inside this transparent box. In another experiment she was able to stop a frog’s heart. Over forty scientists, including two Nobel prize winners took part in the research. Result?

Years later, one Moscow journalist published an article claiming that Nina Kulagina tricked the scientists, and that telekinesis is a fraud. He never saw her, never talked to her and never saw the video recordings of her demonstrations, but he still published the article claiming trickery. Mrs.
