Viridarium Umbris

by Daniel Schulke, 2007

An extensive grimorium of Wortcunning, or herb-magic. The Pleasure-Garden treats of the secret knowledge of trees and herbs as delivered by the Fallen Angels unto man.

The book’s principal concerns are the sorcery and gnosis of the Greenwood, as arising from the varied luminaries of the Eternal Gardens of the Arte Magical. As a grimoire of Spiritual Botany, the Book is a Hortus Conclusus of text and image intended for the indwelling of these plant-spirits. The work encompasses magical practices, formulae, and mystical exegesis, all treating the respective arcana of Nature-Spirits and the powers of individual plants. Magical foci are on devotion, purity, humility, silence, solitude, and the hieros-gamos of wortcunner and plant as a tutelary relationship, in conjunction with the Mysteries of Cain, first tiller of the soil. The whole is intended as a textual reification of occult herbalism within the context of the Sabbatic Craft Tradition.

This is a Madrake Death's Head Limited Edition of only 77 copies. This is number 68. Casebound in Moss-green cloth with Mandrake Death’s Head blocked in gold on the front cover. Each copy is accompanied by an original hand-drawn talisman of coloured ink on papyrus, bearing one of the 77 Emanants of the Arbor Infernis – the liminal genii of Midnight’s Eden. The volume is 544 pages, with more than 70 illustrations. Fine Condition.

Collectors Item: Very rare limited edition.
