The italian Hermetic Tradition and Astrological Magic

Italy is the country were the the neoplatonic and hermetic renaissance culture is born , the country of Guido Bonatti , Cecco d'Ascoli , Gerolamo Cardano , Marsilio Ficino , Pico della Mirandola , Giordano Bruno e Tommaso Campanella and many more masters of astrology , hermetism , astrological magic . This very old and noble Tradition is still alive even today in Italy , little groups and single individuals are members of the esoteric Golden Chain of Hermetic Tradition in general and Astrology and Astrological Magic in particular . The middle age grimoire of arabic/spanish andalusian origin called Picatrix is one of the systems of Astrological Magic , but not the only one and for sure not the most complete , because the Picatrix is , when you read the original latin sources present in Italy and in many parts of Europe in very few manuscripts , is only a collection of different teachings and a mixing of pieces of knowledge . It is not the alfa and the omega of Astrological Magic , only one of the most important grimoires . In the 20th century one of the great and authentic Masters of italian Hermetic Tradition was Giuliano Kremmerz ( 1861-1930 ) , his real name was Ciro Formisano , in his written works the rich and ancient heritage of the Golden Chain of Ritual High Magic and the esoteric Path of Light and the realizzation of the One are explained in a very deep and complete way . As for Magic it is a very ancient Path of Light , the real Magus is an esoteric priest who is on the way of pure spirituality and his main aim is the reintegration , the return , of the individual soul in the Divine . After the fall of humanity from the original primordial state of bliss and fullness , every truth spiritual path is a way to return to the Only Lord , and it is not important the Name you give to Him , because all Names belong to Him , and every true Tradition is created by Him and given to humanity for the return in the Eternal Eden .
