The Magicians | Free Book
An Investigation of a Group Practicing Black Magic
The Magicians describes the experiences of the author, a
sociologist-anthropologist, who spent six months as a participant
observer in a black magic group. In the book, this California-based
national secret magical and religious group is called the "Church of
Hu", though it has become nationally known as the Temple of Set.
Members of the group, mostly from the well-educated middle class,
consider themselves an elect and seek to develop themselves magically
to achieve power.
The Magicians looks at the group's beliefs, attitudes, and
values, and shows how its focus on power and magic affects the members
in everyday life. The book also discusses the dynamics involved in the
search for power and considers the danger to society of groups using
black magic to achieve power.
