The holy spell of Abramelin the sorcerer is a powerful and ancient magical practice that is said to grant the practitioner immense occult powers and a direct connection with the divine. This spell, which originated in the 15th century and was later popularized by the French occultist Éliphas Lévi, is believed to have been taught to Abramelin the Mage by angels. The main principle behind the spell is the purification and consecration of oneself over a period of six months, during which the practitioner must follow a strict regimen of prayer, fasting, and meditation. The purpose of this purification is to clean the slate of the practitioner's mind and soul, allowing them to become a vessel for divine power and wisdom. Once the six-month period is over, the practitioner performs a series of rituals and invocations to contact and commune with their Holy Guardian Angel, who then imparts the secrets and knowledge of the universe to the sorcerer. The holy spell of Abramelin the sorcerer is not for the faint of heart or those seeking quick fixes or superficial magic.
The system of Abramelin is based mostly on Hellenistic theurgy of the Iamblichan sort, but with Jewish increments from the Cabala. Abramelin explains the qualifications needed to become a magician, purifications, and asceticisms to be practiced month by month. Abramelin discusses the studies and activities permitted during this period, selection of place and time for working magic, equipment needed, prayers and formulas, evocation of good and evil spirits, commanding spirits to do one’s will, overcoming rebellious spirits, and similar material. The Mage offers specific instructions to develop such powers as clairvoyance, divining metals and treasures, warding off evil magic, healing illness, levitation, transportation, rendering oneself invisible, creating illusions and glamour, reading minds, placing compulsions, working black magic, and a host of other abilities.

The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage
Around the turn of the century, when Aleister Crowley was working out his system of Magick, the source that he turned to for basics was the system of Abramelin of Egypt. From Abramelin he took his concepts of protections, purifications, evocations, vestments, and dromena down to specific details.
This system of Abramelin the Mage is known from a unique fifteenth century manuscript preserved in the Bibliothèque de L'Arsenal in Paris. In it, Abraham of Würzburg, a cabalist and connoisseur of magics, describes a tour that he made of the then civilized world, visiting sorcerers, magicians, and cabalists, estimating their powers and virtues. This quest is in itself as fascinating as the similar tours of Gurdjieff.
The high point of Abraham's travels was found in a small town on the banks of the Nile, where he encountered the great magician Abramelin, whose complete system Abraham thereupon sets out in detail. This amounts to a complete course in ceremonial magic (both white and black), which the student can pursue by himself.
