The concepts that people in the modern Western world consider "occult," secret, forbidden, or irrational—the amulets and talismans, the omens and divinations, the spells and charms, the spirits of good and evil—are part of everyday life in many corners of the world and have been for many generations.
In this fascinating book, occult scholar and practitioner John Michael Greer illuminates 100 dramatic circumstances, ancient wisdom, and colorful historical figures from occult traditions over two and a half millennia—from the early alchemists of ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Greece, to pagan rituals, the Philosopher's Stone, Kabbalah, the first tarot deck, the Knights Templar, the Nazi Thule Society, witch trials, and the birth of modern witchcraft or Wicca.
Each entry is accompanied by a striking image or an interesting object of illustration.
