Beings as Epithets: The Planetary Invocations of Giordano Bruno’s Cantus Circaeus – Part II

Having shared the context and content of Giordano Bruno’s planetary invocations from Cantus Circaeus in Part I of this post, we now proceed to explore some of the more magical implications of the invocations. First, we examine the condensed form of astrological magical ritual that Bruno shares and consider its implications, before then moving on to examine the structure of the main planetary invocations and reflect on the profound implications of Bruno’s ingenious and valuable use of beings as epithets.
