Without the generous support of the following people and institutions
the Holy Daimon online project would have never come to life.  Thank you. 

Universitätsbibliothek Leipzig 

for making all the magical manuscripts presented here (and many more) available online and putting them under a Creative Commons license. Without their care of preserving these fragile testaments so professionally over centuries, as well as their generosity in offering digital access to them to everyone since 2011, none of this work would have been possible. All photos of the original manuscripts stem from their digital archives.

Anne Hila

an incredibly gifted German scholar of Ancient Studies, for her generosity and persistence in contributing the excellent German transcripts of several of these documents. Without her this project would still be a vague idea only. Both her academic and magical skills shone a bright light under which a lot of this work came forth into (virtual) daylight.

Dr. habil. Bernd Otto 

for introducing me to this truly magical collection of manuscripts in the first place, his excellent research into its content as published in his book ‘Magical Manuscripts in Early Modern Europe - The Clandestine Trade In Illegal Book Collections’ (Palgrave 2017) - as well as the many leads he offered in personal emails to better understand the material at hand.

Scarlet Imprint

one of the leading publishing houses on modern occult literature, for publishing the cycle of books that started with the research conducted as part of the Holy Daimon online project. This was the first volume, Holy Daimon in 2018; a book that contains a decade worth of magical explorations of the history, personal memory and practice of achieving communion with one's holy daimon. In 2020 the second volume followed, Black Abbot · White Magic - Johannes Trithemius and the Angelic Mind; a book that carefully examines the mysterious teacher Pelagius Eremitae, his student and inventor Johan Trithemius and their previously unpublished texts of Late Medieval angelic magic. — The third volume is currently in preparation.

My own holy daimon

for pushing into my life and awareness with so much presence for more than ten years now. Not a day has passed when I have not greatly benefitted from her|his constant companionship. You are a true friend to mankind, despite everything we do to ourselves.
