The Greek Magical Papyri

This edition of The Greek Magical Papyri is not just a new translation; it is a resurrection. For the first time, over one hundred spells, hymns, rituals, and necromantic invocations from the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM) are brought to life, translated with both academic precision and simplified content for new practitioners and those with an interest in esoteric sensitivity.

What sets this volume apart from existing editions is not only its language but also its user-friendly approach. While many translations remain buried in footnotes, Latin glosses, and scholarly fences. This light-hearted academic Grimoire opens the gates for new and experienced practitioners, historians, and curious readers alike. It combines accessible phrasing with ritual instructions, reconstructed practices, and historical commentary, breathing life into spells that were meant to be spoken, sung, and enacted.

Unlike purely academic editions like Betz’s The Greek Magical Papyri in Translation, which serve the scholarly world, or occult compilations that strip away context, this work stands at the crossroads: rigorously sourced, annotated, yet deeply embodied and magical. You’ll discover invocations that still crackle with flame, erotic spells that pulse with desire, and necromantic rites that whisper from the underworld — each accompanied by parts of its original Greek text, pronunciation guide, and historical insight into the world that shaped them.

This is not just a book; it is a grimoire, a tool, and a testament — one that reclaims the voices of ancient magicians, temple scribes, and wandering sorcerers, now speaking again through the northern tongue of a modern völva.
