The Three Books on Occult Philosophy by Cornelius Agrippa is much more a theoretical and literary text rather than a practice manual for occult magical practice. But, in 1559 a Fourth Book on Occult Philosophy appeared claiming to be the Ceremonial Key to unlock the powers of the Occult. This 1559 book claims to speak in Agrippa’s voice and details a highly flexible method for conjuring good and evil spirits along with raising the spirits of the dead – criminal necromancy. What does this manual of magic actually teach? Did Agrippa even write it at all?
