This is the master key that unlocks all mysteries, but that key was lost in the spiritual night of the past 6,000 years. In that mythopoeic age that preceded this, men knew vastly more about Causation and Creation than he does today, but knowing also that an age of darkness was coming upon the world, the wise Initiates hid… Read More

Description:
1618 Torquemada Peculiar Flowers Demonology Exorcisms Occult Spanish AMERICA

Antonio de Torquemada was a Spanish Renaissance author. He is most known for his work "Garden of Peculiar Flowers" – a book of the esoteric, bizarre, and spirit world. Torquemada shares stories of brownies or sprites 'picking' on people, throwing stones at them, and showing general annoyance. He claims that exorcisms don't work on brownies, however good and often one was performed. This book is a very early look into poltergeists, exorcisms, pagan folklore, and haunted houses! First published in 1570 in Spanish, this work includes numerous references to the Spanish Americas. This particular 1618 English issue is beautifully bound in Green Moroccan leather.
