The Book of Ceremonial Magic | Free Book
A. E. Waite
Noted occult historian A. E. Waite created this meticulously
researched survey in order to unite and interpret the scattered and
often-inaccessible details of magical traditions. Part I contains
essential passages from prominent magical texts dating from the
fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries; Part II analyzes these
texts from a modern perspective.
A century after its debut, Waite's work remains among the best sources of information on occult subjects related to the study of the supernatural. Although the author does not condone the practice of black magic, he defends occult practitioners and praises the disciplines of astrology and alchemy. Modern readers will find this book an extraordinarily complete tour of the history of magic, replete with details of casting spells, conjuring spirits, and other occult practices.
