Product Description
Anyone practicing magic won't want to miss this comprehensive book of magician's correspondences. Featuring four times more tables than Aleister Crowley's Liber 777, this is the most complete collection of magician's tables available. This monumental work documents thousands of mystical links-spanning pagan pantheons, Kabbalah, astrology, tarot, I Ching, angels, demons, herbs, perfumes, and more!
The sources of this remarkable compilation range from classic grimoires such as the Sworn Book to modern theories of prime numbers and atomic weights. Data from Peter de Abano, Abbott Trithemium, Albertus Magnus, Cornelius Agrippa, and other prominent scholars is referenced here, in addition to hidden gems found in unpublished medieval grimoires and Kabbalistic works.
Well-organized and easy-to-use, The Complete Magician's Tables can help you understand the vast connections making up our strange and mysterious universe.

All that needs to be said is, The Complete Magicians's Tables has taken the place of 777 as my first choice when researching correspondences.
THE Practical Reference Book on Magical Correspondences November 21, 2008

According to Skinner in his introduction, "Magic is based on correspondences" and it "most powerfully uses them when they are put together in a well-constructed ritual" (page 16). Correspondences underlie communication whether it involves other humans, non-human entities, or even communication with one's own subconscious mind. Skinner's book is THE contemporary reference work to consult when it comes to historically-recognized MAGICAL correspondences. It is useful to both scholars and laypersons, skeptics and believers, when approaching the traditional categories associated with magic. Those categories that comprise the key to all the tables are provided up front on page 13 and involve the 10 Sephiroth of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the 5 Elements, the 7 planets, and the 12 Zodiacal Signs.
The numerous tables are organized according to 26 categories as follows: 1] Angels - Biblical, Apocryphal and Gnostic; 2] Buddhism; 3] Christianity; 4] Dr John Dee's Angels; 5] Emblems and Alchemy; 6] Feng Shui, Chinese Taoism and Taoist Magic; 7] Geomancy; 8] Heavens - Zodiac, Planets, Houses, Decans, Mansions, Constellations; 9] Islam; 10] Judaism; 11] Kabbalah; 12] Letters, Alphabets and Numerical Values; 13] Magic of the Grimoires - Angels, Demons and Spirits; 14] Natural Magic - Animals, Plants, Stones, Herbs and Perfumes; 15] Orders, Grades and Officers; 16] Pagan Pantheons; 17] Questing and Chivalry; 18] Rainbow Colour Scales; 19] Sacred Geometry; 20] Tarot; 21] Uniform Timeline - Magicians, Kabbalists, Astrologers, Alchemists; 22] Vedic and Hindu; 23] Wheel of the Year, Seasons, Months and Hours; 24] X-Reference to Greek Isopsephy; 25] Y Jing or I Ching; and 26] Zones of the Mind, Body and Soul. Each of these categorized tables are supplemented with commentary at the back of the book according to the table columns.
In the reference section at the back, Skinner provides biographical information on the authors whose works contributed most to the tables, beginning with Honorius of Thebes (fl. 1225) and ending with Blavatsky, Mathers, Crowley and Regardie as well as modern researchers in the field such as Adam McLean, Donald Tyson, Joseph Peterson and the encyclopedic works of David Godwin, David Hulse and Bill Whitcomb. This section shows that Skinner acknowledges the contemporary works of others and appreciates their contributions. His approach is opposite to that of Alan Richardson who put out a book in 2008 titled "The Magician's Tables: A Complete Book of Correspondences" which is not only a rip-off of Skinner's work but is also not as well organized or comprehensive. Be sure to purchase the right book.

Very thorough book. Includes easily readable charts that lay out Occult correspondences in an understandable and, more importantly, employable format.

For the longest time i thought the best correspondance book was Crowley's 777. Mr. Skinner has surpassed him with this compilation. In a clear, concise manner Skinner has improved on "Uncle Al's" work, and has filled in a lot of the missing info, and corrected errors present in 777.
This book should be in the library of all serious magicians.
Meticulously Researched -- Elegantly Organized October 19, 2007

Stephen Skinner has heard the prayers of generations of students of the occult and has graciously brought to earth the most comprehensive and user-friendly magical reference book ever compiled. Oh, to have had this book in my 20s. Meticulously researched and elegantly organized, it transcends and replaces at least 5 books in my library including Crowley's venerable 777. My highest possible recommendation.
