| Description: |
Take an enlightening, stunningly illustrated journey through occult history, exploring 100 dramatic incidents, arcane knowledge, and key historical figures from around the world. Renowned scholar and practitioner John Michael Greer delves into two millennia of tradition, from the earliest alchemists to pagan rituals; from the Philosopher's Stone to Cabala, tarot, and the Knights Templar; and from the first horoscopes to the birth of Wicca. |
| Synopsis: |
The things that people in the modern Western world consider "occult/' secret, forbidden, or irrational-amulets and talismans, omens and divinations, spells and charms, spirits good and evil-are part of everyday life in many parts of the world, and have been for generations. In this fascinating book, occult scholar and practitioner John Michael Greer shines light on 100 of the dramatic incidents, arcane knowledge, and colorful historical figures from occult traditions over two and a half millennia-from the earliest alchemists of ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Greece; to pagan rituals; the Philosopher's Stone; Kabbala; the first tarot; the Knights Templar; to the Nazi Thule Party; fortunetelling trials; and the birth of modern witchcraft, or Wicca. Each entry illustrated with a stunning image or intriguing item of ephemera. |
