Magical and Amuletic scroll of Franz Anton Buechler
[Germany, 17th century]
Lavishly illustrated with 56 various amulets and sigils drawn from Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa’s De Occulta Philosophia and Johann Baptista Großchedel’s ‘Magical Calendar’, as well as medieval grimoires and the Clavicula Salomonis, this scroll was designed to invoke powerful spiritual and angelic protections for its owner, 17th-century magician Franz-Anton Buechler.
How to Organize Your Holon “Congratulations! Yes, congratulations on your decision to form your Holodynamic Holon. A Holon is the first level of organization in the Holodynamics Society.

The Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum is a late renaissance (c.1619 or 1620) grimoire and esoteric print of calendar engravings. Its full title is Magnum Grimorium sive Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum Profundissimam Rerum Secretissimarum Contemplationem Totiusque Philosophiae Cognitionem Complectens. It measures more than four feet long and about two feet wide, and includes an early example of a Pentagrammaton.
The “author” in the 1619/1620 Frankfurt print is given as Johann Baptist Grossschedel von Aicha, and attributes some of the engravings to Tycho Brahe. The original engraver is given as Theodor de Bry, as first published in 1582. This work predated, and influenced, the Rosicrucian furor.
