Here is a source book of the magic arts, including divination and astrology, lycanthropy and necromancy, and all the varieties of thaumaturgical practice, from the earliest times to the present day (1961).
It cites abundant texts in historical sequence, and presents actual records referring to witchcraft and sorcery as realities, together with specific spells, charms, invocations, Satanic pacts, descriptions of occult practices, a Who's Who in Demonology, and imperial and state decrees relating to magic activities.
Historically, the major periods and practices of Babylonian, Greek, Roman, European, Indian, African and other areas are all included. Each section is illuminated by an interpretive essay, and notes further elucidate provocative points.
269pp, many illustrations and engravings.
Original dust jacket in good condition on the book.
I've held on to this book for years and I know it is worth a good amount. All of the information I have retained and feel the need to pass this book on now.
For witches, wizards, pagans, Wiccans, demonologists, occultists, scholars or curious folk, this is the source book.
