Magic of the Ancient World by Studio Esoterico Cornelio
Magic of the Ancient World is the space of Studio Esoterico Cornelio devoted to the magic of the great ancient civilisations: the Egypt of heka and papyri, the Greece and Rome of curse tablets and oracles, Mesopotamia with its exorcisms and the Levant, the Celts and the Norse.
Master Cornelio teaches that every tradition of today is rooted in a distant past: knowing the ancient sources means understanding where the symbols we use come from. Here history is told through archaeology and texts, separating facts from legends. That is why you will find no promises or recipes here, but history, sources and meaning.
How to read this space
- Each text presents a symbol, a figure, a text or a tradition and tells its origin.
- Beliefs and practices are described as history, tradition and inner work, respecting everyone's freedom.
- Every article ends with a summary of the essential points.
