Spiritus Mundi

There is a Spiritus Mundi discussion group on Yahoo. You can find anything online today.

The Spiritus Mundi discussion group focuses on the astrology and the astrological magic of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, particularly the astrological talismans of Cornelius Agrippa, Picatrix and De Imaginibus
Spiritus Mundi is the Latin name for the Spirit of the World or quintessence, the fifth element that is a key link in the Great Chain of Being.
Knowledge of the Spiritus Mundi is essential for mastery of medieval and Renaissance talismanic magic which unites traditional ceremonial magic and elections in the creation of astrological talismans and amulets.

Postings focus on actual astrological charts and talismans rather than theoretical discussions. Information on electing times for talismans and instructions for talisman construction and ritual are encouraged as are citations to sources published before 1700.

No use of modern astrology, e.g. Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, asteroids, etc. is permitted. All posts must use traditional Western (pre-1700) astrological technique. In the interest of encouragement and support, no criticism of posted elections is permitted, except that members may offer an alternative election.

Members of Spiritus Mundi receive advance notice of the Current Astrological Chart. With selected Current Astrological Charts members can request free traditional images which they can use to make their own talismans.
