Avrippa Books of Occult Philosophy, also known as "Three Books of Occult Philosophy" or simply "Occult Philosophy," is a comprehensive and influential work in the field of occult philosophy. It was written by the renowned occultist Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa in the early 16th century and first published in 1533. The book is divided into three distinct parts, each focusing on different aspects of occult philosophy. The first book examines natural magic, which includes various forms of divination, astrology, and the magical properties of plants, animals, and minerals. Agrippa delves into the principles and theories behind these practices, providing detailed instructions on how to perform them effectively. The second book delves into celestial magic and the influence of celestial bodies on human affairs.
@mickeymousebron : I doubt it would ever happen. But losing him would mean that everything under his name would also go into public domain. Shows, movies, soundtracks. All of it, would be up for grabs for anyone to take.
My best bet are the Disney Princesses animated the Disney Princesses are by far the Most Famous Disney Characters in the world only Mickey Mouse is more Famous than them they even outsold Mickey himself in Merchandise the Princesses are almost near even with Mickey s global fame since he s not really in anything anymore.

The second book delves into celestial magic and the influence of celestial bodies on human affairs. Agrippa discusses the relationship between the planets, the angels, and the elements, exploring how they can be harnessed for magical purposes. He also explores the concept of theurgy, which involves invoking divine forces and achieving spiritual communion with higher realms.
If Mickey Mouse enters public domain in 2024 who will take his spot as the Most Famous Character and as Disney's new Mascot?
Sadly for the world the Mouse that made Disney a hit will most likely finally leave Disney and enter public domain in 2024 The Company may never recover after the lost of their most Famous creation so if Mickey meets his end who will take over his position and be the New Mascot of Disney. My best bet are the Disney Princesses animated the Disney Princesses are by far the Most Famous Disney Characters in the world only Mickey Mouse is more Famous than them they even outsold Mickey himself in Merchandise the Princesses are almost near even with Mickey's global fame since he's not really in anything anymore. I say if Mickey Mouse officially leaves the company than Disney will officially go to the beloved Princesses.
• 4 years ago 4 years agoMickey Mouse will never enter the public domain. His rights have been up for renewal several times in the past and have always been renewed. Disney makes too much money through his merchandise to give him up.
Same with most long-running characters, no one wants to lose exclusive rights to money-makers.

They'd probably start to push Donald Duck or Goofy a little harder if they wanted to keep a Disney original character to stay the mascot, but it would be Donald since he has a show running at the moment and Goofy hasn't done anything massive in years. That is if they want to go down that route, they could start pushing some of their owned properties like Star Wars or Marvel.
I'd also like to point out that Peter Pan can't be used as a Disney property as it's already public domain as of 2007.
4 years ago@cloudguy: do you think the Princesses would be a strong candidate to take Mickey's spot since they're always selling the most Merchandise and everyone loves them.
4 years ago #6 Edited By cloudguy@mickeymousebron : They could, but won't. In this day and age, their's so much controversy around casting characters in films, take the casting for the new Little Mermaid for example. People are mad, for no reason. Someone will be upset if they have a white Disney princess as the mascot and others will be mad if a minority princess is picked. It'll be eaiser and safer to use an athromorphic character since it skips the potential race backlash.
Even if they did decide to use a princess, none of them deserve it over the others, they're all just as memorable as each other. Although the newer princesses would have a better chance since they're in the spotlight more often than older characters. On top of that, most of the old princesses, are public domain characters.
In other words, only Merida, Anna & Elsa, Tiana and maybe one or two others could be picked since they're original IP's. Curveball, they make it Baymax from Big Hero Six.

The third and final book focuses on ceremonial magic, specifically the evocation and conjuration of spirits. Agrippa delves into the methods and rituals used to summon and command spirits, as well as the dangers and precautions associated with these practices. He emphasizes the importance of morality and spiritual purity in successfully practicing ceremonial magic. In addition to these three main sections, Agrippa's work also includes an extensive introduction that provides a historical overview of magic, its principles, and its practitioners. He draws on classical sources, such as Hermes Trismegistus and Ptolemy, as well as contemporary occult traditions to support his arguments and theories. Despite its popularity and influence, "Occult Philosophy" was not without controversy. Agrippa's exploration and endorsement of magic were considered heretical by some religious authorities of the time, leading to the book being banned in certain areas. However, his work continued to circulate clandestinely and was later celebrated for its contributions to occult thinking and practice. Today, "Occult Philosophy" is regarded as a seminal text in the field of occult literature. It serves as a valuable resource for those interested in studying and understanding the principles, theories, and practical applications of occult philosophy. Its enduring influence can be seen in the continued fascination with magic, astrology, divination, and esoteric knowledge..
