A wizard’s spellbook is usually seen as a powerful item. Often the secrets contained within allow the magic user to cast potent spells or summon mighty creatures, but it doesn’t have to be like that.

The enigmatic Arbatel de Magia Veterum emerges as a radiant exception - a 16th-century Latin guide that champions white magic, ethical living, and a profound bond with the divine. Far from summoning demons or pursuing selfish gains, this mysterious text, shrouded in anonymity and angelic whispers, invites seekers to harness spiritual wisdom for the greater good, blending ancient philosophy with timeless virtues that challenge our perceptions of occult knowledge.

The Arbatel de Magia Veterum is a book of white magic that preaches the use of magic for holistic purposes. We explore the essence of the Arbatel, what it contains, and what makes it so unique.
