Part three of our nine-part Arbatel series sees co-host Evan and Reverend Erik exploring the second septenary. The Arbatel is a 16th century Swiss Protestant grimoire, or book of magic, and deals with summoning and making contact with the seven Olympic spirits.
The second septenary of this book revolves around the Arbatel's model of creation, the method of divine emanation, and the power of names. However, in a close reading, our hosts have discovered something more exciting: a ritual for a tutelary spirit!

In this second episode of the nine-part Arbatel Project series, Erik and Evan explore the First Septenary of this 16th century Swiss grimoire. The episode delves into the Arbatel's emphasis on secrecy in magical practice, summarized by the opening aphorism: "Whoever wants to know secrets, needs to know how to keep secrets."
The First Septenary establishes the foundation for the grimoire's approach to magic, encouraging practitioners to "live for the Muses" by embracing creativity and artistic pursuits. We discuss the importance of memory in magical practice, with the Arbatel instructing practitioners to thoroughly memorize essential knowledge. While the text presents a Christian framework for invoking deity before magical works, the hosts explore how practitioners of various spiritual backgrounds might adapt these principles.
