If an aspect of the occult exists, you will most certainly find it within the pages of this massive tome of the occult arts. Despite hundreds of entries on everything from Witchcraft, Sorcery, Invocation, Ancient Grimoire, and Metaphysics, the list keeps going. If you are searching for a book with it all and then some, this is one extensive collection. It reads like an encyclopedia of ancient beliefs and magic and is an incredible reference guide into this fascinating world. As stated, this is the 1st edition, which has been exceptionally well-kept for almost half a century. I would snag this one before it's gone...

Signs, symbols, archetypes, and correspondences between the visible and the invisible, the microcosm and the macrocosm—testify to the persistence in the deepest oceans of the mind of an age-old longing to achieve through magic a goal still beyond the reach of science. That goal is a coherent view of man and his universe. Drawn together from many different sources and presented in this book in simple, down-to-earth terms are thousands of fascinating items relating to the art of manipulating the forces that control the universe. All the entries are arranged alphabetically and cross-in-dexed to provide ready access to the wide variety of materials associated with sorcery. Frequently, further references are supplied at the end of an entry. In most instances, the reader can find additional information on a subject by referring to the names or expressions mentioned in a particular entry. Sorcery, as used in this book, embraces the world of the supernatural and the precepts or practices through which men, through the ages, have sought to dominate their universe.

"Manuals of magic, pseudepigraphical ascribed to Solomon, Albertus Magnus, certain Popes, and other artists or wiz-ards. Highly popular during the Middle Ages, they describe many occult practices, rituals, and ceremonies. Among the most notable: Liber Spirituum, the Hebrew manual called Shemamphoras; Oupnekhat, a Sanskrit manual translated into Persian and later into Latin 1802); Grimoirium Verum, by Alibeck the Egyptian 1517); The Constitution of Honorius attributed to Pope Honorius III; Little Albert; Red Dragon; Arbatel; Tonalamati, an ancient Mexican manual; Y-Kim, an obscure Chinese work assigned to the fourth millennium B. C.; Red Book of Appin."

Wade Baskin was a prolific writer of ancient religion, mythology, witchcraft, and the occult.
