To the Most Honorable Lord, Most Illustrious Prince,
Hermannus
of
Wyda
, Prince Elector, Duke of
Westphalia
, and
Augaria
, Lord and
Arch-prelate of
Colonia
, and
Paderbornia
, by his most gracious Master,
Henry Cornelius Agrippa
of
Nettes-heym
wisheth health.
Behold now (most illustrious Prince, and most honorable Prelate!) the rest of the books of
Occult Philosophy,
or Magick,
which I promised Your Worthiness that I would put forth when 1 published the first of them: but the suddain, and almost
unexpected death of holy
Margaret
of
Austria
my Princess coming upon it, hindred me then from the endavoring to put it
forth. Then the wickedness of some Pulpit-sycophants, and of some School-Sophisters incessantly raging against me for a
declamation I put forth concerning the Vanity of things, and the excellency of the word of God, and contending against me
continually with bitter hatred, envy, malice, and calumnies, hindered me from putting of it forth; whereof some very proudly,
with a full mouth, and loud voice aspersed me with impiety in the Temple amongst a promiscuous people. Others with
corner-whisperings from house to house, street by street, did fill the ears of the ignorant with my infamy: others in publicke,
and private assemblies did instigate Prelates, Princes, and
Caesar
himself against me. Hence I began to be at a stand,
whether I should put forth the rest of the book or no, whilest I did doubt that I should by this means expose my self to greater
calumnies, and as it were cast my self out of the smoke into the fire, a certain rude fear seised [seized] upon me, least by
putting them forth I should seem more offensive then officius to you, and expose your highness to the envy of malicious
Carpers, and tongues of detracters. Whilest these things troubled me with a various desparation, the quickness of your
understanding, exact discretion, uprightness of Judgement, Religion without superstition, and other most known vertues in
you, your authority, and integrity beyond exception, which can easily check, and bridle the tongues of slanderers, removed
my doubting, and inforced me to set upon that again more boldly, which I had almost left off by reaon of despaire. Therefore
(most Illustrious Prince) take in good part this second book of
Occult Philosophy,
in which we shew the mysteries of the
Celestiall Magick, all things being opened, and manifested, which experienced antiquity makes relation of, and which came
to my knowledge, that the secrets of Celestiall Magick (hitherto neglected, and not fully apprehended by men of latter times)
may with your protection be by me, after the shewing of natural vertues, proposed to them that are studious, and curious of
these secrets: by which let him that shall be profited and receive benefit, give you the thanks, who have been the occasion of
this Edition, and setting of it at liberty to be seen abroad.
Farewell.

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa: Occult Philosophy. Book II. (part 1)
The Second Book of Occult
Philosophy, or Magick; written by
Henry Cornelius Agrippa.
BOOK II.
Chapter i. Of the necessity of Mathematicall learning, and of the many wonderfull
works which are done by Mathematicall Arts only.
The Doctrines of Mathematicks are so necessary to, and have such an affinity with Magick, that they that do profess it
without them, are quite out of the way, and labour in vain, and shall in no wise obtain their desired effect. For whatsoever
things are, and are done in these inferior naturall vertues, are all done, and governed by number, weight, measure, harmony,
motion, and light. And all things which we see in these inferiours, have root, and foundation in them: yet nevertheless
without naturall vertues, of Mathematicall Doctrines only works like to naturals can be produced, as
Plato
saith, a thing not
paataking of truth or divinity, but certain Images kin to them, as bodies going, or speaking, which yet want the Animall
faculty, such as were those which amongst the Ancients were called
Dedalus
his Images, and automata, of which
Aristotle
makes mention,
viz.
the threefooted Images of
Vulcan,
and
Dedalus,
moving themselves, which
Homer
saith came out of
their own accord to exercise, and which we read, moved themselves at the feast of
Hiarba
the Philosophicall Exerciser: As
also that golden Statues performed the offices of Cup bearers, and Carvers to the guests. Also we read of the Statues of
Mercury,
which did speak, and the wooden Dove of
Arthita,
which did fly, and the miracles of
Boethius,
which
Cassiodorus
made mention of,
viz. Diomedes
in Brass, sounding a Trumpet, and a brazen Snake hissing, and pictures of birds singing most
sweetly. Of this kind are those miracles of Images which proceed from Geometry, and Opticks, of which we made some
mention in the first book, where we spoke of the Element of Aire, So there are made glasses, some Concave, others of the
form of a Columne, making the representations of things in the Aire seem like shadows at a distance: of which sort
Apoilonius,
and
Vitellius
in their Books
De Perspectiva,
and
Speculis
, taught the making, and the use. And we read that
Magnus Pompeius
brought a certain glass amongst the spoils from the East, to
Rome
, in which were seen Armies of Armed
men. And there are made certain transparent glasses, which being dipped in some certain juices of Hearbs [herbs], and
irradiated with an artificiall light, fill the whole Aire round about with visions. And I know how to make reciprocall glasses,
in which the Sun shining, all things which were illustrated by the raies [rays] thereof are apparently seen many miles off.
Hence a Magician, expert in naturall Philosophy, and Mathematicks, and knowing the middle sciences consisting of both
these, Arithmatick, Musick, Geometry, Opticks, Astronomie [astronomy], and such sciences that are of weights, measures,
propertions, articles, and joynts, knowing also Mechanicall Arts resulting from these, may without any wonder, if he excell
other men in Art, and wit, do many wonderfull things, which the most prudent, and wise men may much admire. Are there
not some reliques extant of the Ancients works,
viz. Hercules
, and
Alexanders
pillars, the gate of
Caspia
made of brass, and
shut with Iron beams, that it could by no Wit or Art, be broken? And the Pyramis of
Julius Caesar
erected at Rome neer the
hill Vaticanus, and Mountains built by Art in the middle of the Sea, and Towers, and heaps of Stones, such as I saw in
England
put together by an incredible Art. And we read in faithfull Historians, that in former times Rocks have been cut off,
and Vallies [valleys] made, and Mountains made into a Plain, Rocks have been digged through, Promontories have been
opened in the Sea, the bowels of the Earth made hollow, Rivers divided, Seas joyned to Seas, the Seas restrained, the bottome
of the Sea been searched, Pools exhausted, Fens dryed up, new Islands made, and again restored to the continent, all which,

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa: Occult Philosophy. Book II. (part 1)
although they my seem to be against nature, yet we read have been done, and we see some reliques of them remaining till this
day, which the vulgar say were the works of the divell [Devil], seeing the Arts, and Artificers thereof have been dead out of
all memory, neither are there any that care to understand, or search into them. Therefore they seeing any wonderfull sight, do
impute it to the divell, as his work, or think it is a miracle, which indeed is a work of naturall, or Mathematicall Philosophy.
As if anyone should be ignorant of the vertue of the Loadstone, and should see heavy Iron drawn upwards, or hanged in the
Aire (as we read the Iron Image of
Mercury
did long since at
Treveris
hang up in the middle of the Temple by Loadstones,
this verse attesting the same.
The Iron white rod-bearer flies i'th' Aire.
The like to which we read was done concerning the image of the Sun at Rome, in the Temple of
Serapis
) would not such an
ignorant man, I say, presently say it is the work of the divell? But if he shall know the vertue of the Loadstone to the Iron, and
shall make triall of it, he presently ceaseth to wonder, and doth no more scruple it to be the work of nature. But here it is
convenient that you know, that as by naturall vertues we collect naturall vertues, so by abstracted, mathematicall, and
celestiall, we receive celestiall vertues, as motion, life, sense, speech, southsaying [soothsaying], and divination, even in
matter less disposed, as that which is not made by nature, but only by art. And so images that speak, and foretell things to
come, are said to be made, as
William
of
Paris
relates of a brazen head made under the rising of
Saturn
, which they say spake
with a mans voice. But he that will choose a disposed matter, and most fit to receive, and a most powerfull agent, shall
undoubtedly produce more powerfull effects. For it is a generall opinion of the Pythagoreans, that as Mathematicall things are
more formall then Naturall, so also they are more efficacious: as they have less dependence in their being, so also in their
operation. But amongst all Mathematicall things, numbers, as they have more of form in them, so also are more efficacious,
to which not only Heathen Philosophers, but also Hebrew, and Christian Divines do attribute vertue, and efficacy, as well to
effect what is good, as what is bad.
Chapter ii. Of Numbers, and of their power, and vertue.
Severinus Boethius
saith, that all things which were first made by the nature of things in its first Age, seem to be formed by
the proportion of numbers, for this was the principall pattern in the mind of the Creator. Hence is borrowed the number of the
Elements, hence the courses of times, hence the motion of the Stars, and the revolution of the heaven, and the state of all
things subsist by the uniting together of numbers. Numbers therefore are endowed with great and sublime vertues. For it is no
wonder, seeing there are so many, and so great occult vertues in naturall things, although of manifest openations, that there
should be in numbers much greater, and more occult, and also more wonderfull, and efficacious, for as much as they are more
formall, more perfect, and naturally in the celestialls, not mixt with separated substances; and lastly, having the greatest, and
most simple commixtion with the Idea's in the mind of God, from which they receive their proper, and most efficacious
vertues: wherefore also they are of more force, and conduce most to the obtaining of spirituall, and divine gifts, as in naturall
things, elementary qualities are powerfull in the transmuting of any elementary thing. Again, all things that are, and are made,
subsist by, and receive their vertue from numbers. For time consists of number, and all motion, and action, and all things
which are subject to time, and motion.
Harmony also, and voices have their power by, and consist of numbers, and their proportions, and the proportions arising
from numbers, do by lines, and points make Characters, and figures: And these are proper to Magicall operations, the middle
which is betwixt both being appropriated by declining to the extreams, as in the use of letters. And lastly, all species of
naturall things, and of those things which are above nature, are joyned together by certain numbers: which
Pythagoras
seeing,
saith, that number is that by which all things consist, and distributes each vertue to each number. And
Proclus
saith, Number
hath alwaies a being: Yet there is one in voyce, another in the proportion of them, another in the soul, and reason, and another
in divine things. But
Themistius,
and
Boethius,
and
Averrois
the
Babilonian
[Babylonian], together with
Plato,
do so extoll
numbers, that they think no man can be a true Philosopher without them. Now they speak of a rationall, and formall number,
not of a materiall, sensible, or vocall, the number of Merchants buying, and selling, of which the
Pythagoreans
, and
Platonists
, and our
Austin
[Augustine] make no reckoning, but apply it to the proportion resulting from it, which number they
call naturall, rationall, and formall, from which great mysteries flow, as well in naturall, as divine, and heavenly things. By it
is there a way made for the searching out, and understanding of all things knowable. By it the next access to naturall
prophesying is had: and the
Abbot Joachim
proceeded no other way in his Prophecies, but by formall numbers.
Chapter iii. How great vertues Numbers have, as well in Naturall things, as in
Supernaturall.
That there lyes [lies] wonderfull efficacy, and vertue in numbers, as well to good as to bad, not only most eminent
Philosophers do unanimously teach, but also Catholike [Catholic] Doctors, and especially
Hierom, Austin [Augustine],
Origen, Ambrose, Gregory
of
Nazianzen, Athanasius, Basilius, Hilarius, Rubanus, Bede,
and many more confirm. Hence
