Quando l’animale nasconde il potere dell’astro. Il caso delle Ciranidi e i nomi segreti dei pianeti

Fabio Spadini

Abstract:

In this article I will try to highlight the importance of astrological teachings in some of the "magic recipes" of the Cyranides. The main aim is to understand the strategies used in the selection of animal products that determine their connection to certain astral bodies. It is precisely this connection that activates the astral force that ensures the effectiveness of the remedy.
Secondly, based on the presence of certain animals in magical sources, I will try to decipher a series of seven enigmatic magical words, voces magicae, which seem to correspond to the secret names of the planets. The aim is to understand whether, thanks to the reference to the animal, it is possible to assign each of these vocabularies to a particular planet.
