The sixteen essays in this collection deal with a wide variety of essential topics in Western occultism. They were written with the average reader in mind, so the material is not overwhelmingly technical. At the same time, very few writers have dealt with these subjects in the manner in which they are presented here: familiar topics with fresh insights that reconcile magic with rational thinking in a way that won’t outrage the reason of intelligent readers. Subjects covered include energy, familiars, the magic circle, black magic, spirits’ rights, the definition of magic, and much more.
