Description

Despite being of relatively recent origin – most scholars suggest it first began to appear in manuscript form in the 18th century – “The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses” is arguably one of the most influential of all the grimoires. It contains a series of magical incantations, spells and seals purportedly from the lost magical Books of the Biblical prophet Moses. The work apparently originated in Germany and then spread to America via the Pennsylvania Dutch, and their “pow-wow” books. It began to appear in print in the late nineteenth century, and became popular in the African American South and also in the Caribbean, and West Africa, making its mark on the Hoodoo, Rastifarian, and various African religious movements, as well as on European and American occultists. This edition was published by Lauron William de Laurence (1868 – 1936), renowned book pirate, plagiarist, and publisher of occult literature. Like many de Laurence publications this volume is undated, though the binding suggests it may have been printed in the 1970s.
