Rufus Opus
About
I am Joshua Gadbois. I write as Rufus Opus.
I have been practising and writing about Hermetic magic since 2006, and everything I have published in that time — 1,690 posts and counting — is still here, in order, including the parts I got wrong.
The Books
Seven Spheres
The foundational text of modern Hermetic planetary magic. Ascend the seven planetary spheres, work with the Archangels, and integrate the forces of the cosmos into daily life and practice.
The Goetic Grimoire
A practical guide to working with the 72 spirits of the Goetia within the Hermetic and Neoplatonic framework. Conjure, negotiate, and integrate these intelligences into the Great Work.
Enlightningment
Initiation, Establishment, and the Pursuit of the Great Work — a map of the path from the Rebel Orphan through the Titanomachy to the Olympic King.
The Classes
Every class I teach is free and complete on YouTube, with the slides and workbooks free to download here. Nothing is held back behind a paywall. What I sell is made by hand — talismans, lamens, and equipment, consecrated in the proper hours.
