He explores the gods and divinatory arts of the legendary Sumerians and the star-wise Babylonians, including the birth of astrology. He examines the afterlife beliefs of the ancient Egyptians and the dream interpretation practices and oracles of ancient Greece, including the mysteries of Eleusis and the magical philosophy of Plato, Socrates, and other Greeks. He uncovers the origins of Gnosticism and the suppression and banishment of magic by the post-pagan, Christian emperors of Rome. Seligmann reviews the principles of alchemy, sharing famous transmutations and allegorical illustrations of the alchemical process and explores the Hermetica and its remarkable adepts. Investigating the Middle Ages, the author discusses the work of European magicians of the time, including Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, Agrippa, Nostradamus, and Pico Della Mirandola. He studies the medieval practices of devil worship, witchcraft, and black magic, as well as the “Cabala” in both its Hebrew and Christian forms. He also examines the art of the Tarot and many lesser known divination techniques. He explores the development of secret societies, including Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism, in the 17th century and the increase in occult publications and magical science in the 18th century. First published in 1948, this history of magic and the occult seeks to “mirror” the magical worldview throughout the ages. Beautifully illustrated with images from the author’s rare library, this collector’s edition features all of the artwork--more than 250 images--from the original 1948 edition.

The Truth About Evocation of Spirits by Donald Michael Kraig reveals the real secrets of communicating with non-physical entities. You will find that many of the things you've seen in novels or movies aren't needed: no fancy apparatus, no hypnotic trances. With this small book, evoking spirits becomes something you can do. You'll discover what evocation really is. You'll learn a bit about its history and why the ancient grimoires describing it are full of traps and things to waste your time. Here you will learn, step-by-step, everything you need to contact spirits described in ancient texts such as The Lesser Key of Solomon the King. First, you'll need to prepare. This simply involves determining which spirit you wish to call, making a copy of its "sigil" (signature), and also constructing a place for it to appear: the Triangle of the Art. Then gather some common items such as candles, paper, and pen and, with the help of this book, you can do this magick! When you have everything, you are ready to begin. Start with a banishing. Here you will find a complete version of the famous Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. Next, the seer inhales incense. This alters that person's consciousness so he or she is ready to see the entity. Then call on the entity according to the instructions given here. Then you ask for information which is in the nature of the spirit to give. Or you can ask the entity you've evoked to do something that it is capable of doing. Of course, it is only fair to give something to the creature in return. That something is magical or spiritual energy. This book explains how you can create that energy and send it to the entity. Finally, you'll learn how to release the spirit you have evoked back to its home. Never before has so much information been packed into such a small space. If you want to learn this ancient science, get your copy today!
