Chaldean and Egyptian Occult Practices: Appendix to the Grimoire of St Cyprian

The Supreme Black, Red and Infernal Magic of the Chaldeans and Egyptians, being the companion volume to the Book of St. Cyprian, is an early 20th-century grimoire containing spells, hexes, and other infernal secrets of magic. Allegedly given in 1001 to the monk Jonás Sufurino by the spirits at a monastery near Mount Brocken in northern Germany where witches are said to gather at Walpurgisnacht, the Book of Saint Cyprian is a legendary text that has seen a huge resurgence in popularity in recent years. The first English translation of this companion volume, published in Buenos Aires in 1916, is presented here for the first time.

According to the editor, the elusive Dr. Moorne, the publication of The Supreme Black, Red and Infernal Magic of the Chaldeans and Egyptians was encouraged by the success of the Book of St. Cyprian. Dr. Moorne decided to publish the "other matters" found in the "German original" that had not been included in the first publication of the Book of St. Cyprian.

The Supreme Black, Red and Infernal Magic of the Chaldeans and Egyptians contains a wealth of information on various occult topics. It covers the way of making the magic ointments, how the pacts with the infernal spirits are broken, the enigma of the sphinx and the eight paradoxical questions with their respective answers, how men learned the magical arts, the making of philters, the complete art of dominating people, the virtues and efficacy of virgin blood, the secrets of the astral fire, and how Simon the Magician was able to acquire the gift of impassivity and incombustibility. Additionally, it provides several wonderful recipes for love and to cause or prevent the evil eye and all kinds of hexes.

The book's title and its content suggest that it delves into the esoteric practices and beliefs of the ancient Chaldeans and Egyptians. The Chaldeans were an ancient Semitic-speaking people who lived in Mesopotamia, while the Egyptians were the ancient civilization that flourished along the Nile River. Both were known for their expertise in the occult arts, and this grimoire claims to reveal their most closely guarded secrets.

The Supreme Black, Red and Infernal Magic of the Chaldeans and Egyptians is a significant addition to the corpus of occult literature, shedding light on the hidden practices and beliefs of these ancient civilizations. Its publication, alongside the resurgence of interest in the Book of St. Cyprian, suggests a growing fascination with the esoteric traditions of the past and their continued relevance in the modern world.
