Picatrix: Ghayat al‑Ḥakīm (The Goal of the Wise)
Overview
This medieval grimoire is one of the most influential works on astrological, talismanic, and astral magic in the Western esoteric tradition. Written originally as Ghayāt al‑Ḥakīm ("The Aim of the Wise"), Picatrix compiles extensive instructions for planetary talismans, geomancy, invocation, and the philosophical foundations of magic. Renaissance occultists such as Agrippa, Pico della Mirandola, and Ficino drew directly from it. The English translation by Atallah and Holmquest—published by Ouroboros Press (Volumes I & II)—renders the complete Latin text into readable modern language with scholarly notes and commentary.
