The Book of Abrasax, Grimoire of the Hidden Gods
The God Whose Name Contains the Universe
His name has echoed through Gnostic gems, Greco-Egyptian magick, and the syncretic mystery cults of the ancient world. Abrasax—sometimes rendered Abraxas—is a god of paradox: a solar deity, a demon, a ruler of the 365 heavens, whose very name encodes a numerical mystery uniting the days of the year with the totality of creation. He is neither wholly light nor wholly dark, neither purely benevolent nor purely wrathful. He is the hidden god, the one who stands behind and beyond the more familiar faces of ancient theology.
In The Book of Abrasax: A Grimoire of the Hidden Gods, Michael Cecchetelli offers practitioners something rare in modern occult publishing: a complete, structured grimoire dedicated entirely to working with this enigmatic deity—part historical reconstruction, part original magickal system, wholly practical from cover to cover.
A Working Grimoire, Built for Practice
Unlike anthologies that gather many voices around a single theme, The Book of Abrasax is a singular, focused system—the product of one practitioner's sustained engagement with this ancient current. The book is structured as a true grimoire, moving methodically from foundation to mastery:
The Coronastrum opens the work, establishing the core ritual framework and cosmological structure upon which the rest of the grimoire builds.
Preparation and Securing of Space provides the essential groundwork every serious practitioner needs—the rites of purification and protection that must precede any working with a power of this magnitude.
Protective Magick offers workings drawn from Abrasax's ancient reputation as a guardian force, providing practical defense against hostile influences.
Amorous Magick turns to matters of the heart, presenting workings for love, desire, and relationship drawn from the god's syncretic mystery traditions.
Wealth and Prosperity addresses one of the oldest aims of practical magick, channeling Abrasax's authority over the material and cosmic order alike.
Curses does not shy away from magick's more feared applications, presenting the darker workings available to those who invoke this many-faced god.
Transcendent closes the ritual core of the book with workings aimed not at worldly aims but at spiritual elevation and direct communion with the divine.
Received Wisdom and Sacred Text
The grimoire's second half shifts from ritual to revelation. The Received Wisdom of the God Abrasax, In Parabolam presents channeled material structured as sacred parable—teachings said to come directly from the god himself, offered in two parts that reward careful, meditative reading.
The volume concludes with The Book of Absolutes, a culminating philosophical and magickal statement that ties together the practical workings and received wisdom into a unified vision of who—and what—Abrasax truly is.
A complete bibliography grounds the entire work in historical and academic scholarship, allowing serious students to trace Cecchetelli's sources back to the Gnostic, Greco-Egyptian, and classical roots of this ancient deity.
"Abrasax is the god who refuses to be simplified. Ruler of the heavens and lord of the depths, bringer of blessing and curse alike. To work with him is to work with the totality of the cosmos itself."
