When first published in 1801, The Magus presented a complete study
in the practice of ritual magic. It was compiled by Barrett from
many different occult sources, such as Agrippa's work, the
Heptameron, and various manuscripts of The Key of Solomon, in
response to renewed public interest in magic and the ancient,
classic texts. As such, it was the first readily accessible English
translation, or republication, of rare, long-out-of-print works,
and was fundamental for many exploring the Western magic tradition
at the dawn of the Victorian Occult Revival. The Magus is actually
separated into three books combined in one volume.
Book I covers: Natural Magic -- the occult properties of
animals, minerals, and vegetables; including the preparation of
charms, potions, "monsters", and sorcery; alchemy -- the
Philosopher's Stone and how to make it; transmuting base metals
into gold, the origin and history of alchemy including famous
alchemists; the nature of the elements, the spirit world, planets,
numerology, astrology, and talismanic magic.
Book II covers: the occult powers and uses of magnetism,
including an essay on the Weapon Salve; and a comprehensive study
of the cabala and ceremonial magic; includes divine names
associated with cabala; use of the cabala to contact, summon, and
bind spirits; names and descriptions of good and evil spirits along
with the numbers, characters, and seals associated with them;
construction of magic circles; and ceremonies of consecration,
invocation, and conjuration.
Book III is a compilation of biographies of famous magi,
cabalists, and philosophers, such as Zoroaster, Albertus Magnus,
Doctor Dee, Raymond Lully, and many others.
This facsimile is aphoto-reproduction of all three books from
the first edition. The five color plates have been reproduced from
the originals using modern methods for color accuracy not achieved

Regency England was a pivotal time, remembered for its political
uncertainty with a changing monarchy, the Napoleonic Wars, and a
population explosion in London. In Susanna Clarke's fantasy novel
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, the era is also witness to the
unexpected return of magic. Locating the consequences of this
eruption of magical unreason within the context of England's
imperial history, this study examines Merlin and his legacy, the
roles of magicians throughout history, the mythology of
disenchantment, the racism at work in the character of Stephen
Black, the meaning behind the fantasy of magic's return, and the
Englishness of English magic itself. Looking at the larger
historical context of magic and its links to colonialism, this
inaugural treatment offers both a fuller understanding of the
ethical visions underlying Clarke's groundbreaking novel of madness
intertwined with magic, while challenging readers to rethink
connections among national identity, rationality, and power.
Constructing a functional system of magic that helps readers

history and used in myth, legend and modern fiction. Different
forms of magic are explored and a broad range of stories-from

Of all the countries in the world, England has the richest history
of magical lore and practice. English authors such as
J.R.R.Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Terry Pratchett, and J.K.Rowling,
dominate the world of magic in fiction, but from the earliest
times, England has also acted as home to generations of eccentrics
and scholars who have researched and explored every conceivable
kind of occult art. Most people are torn between a fascination with
magic and an almost instinctive fear of the occult, of a world
redolent with superstition and illusion. And yet more people now
practice magic in England than at any time in her history. The Book
of English Magic explores this hidden story, from its first
stirrings to our present-day fascination with all things magical.
Along the way readers are offered a rich menu of magical things to
do and places to visit.
What if a book existed that gave answers to everything you've ever
wondered about? What would you do to learn its secrets? Tales of
such books have been abounded for millennia and are legend in
occult history. One of the most pervasive modern iterations is that
of the Necronomicon, said to be a genuine occult text from the 8th
century. The Necronomicon really is the creation of science fiction
writer H.P. Lovecraft (1891-"1937), in whose books the magic volume
first appears in print. In The Necronomicon Files two occult
authorities explore all aspects of the Necronomicon, from its first
appearance in Lovecraft's fiction to its ongoing pervasive
appearance in cult and occult circles. The Necronomicon Files
reveals the hoax of the Necronomicon. Harms and Gonce show that the
apocryphal history of the Necronomicon was concocted by Lovecraft
to lend it verisimilitude in his fiction. The magical text was
transformed into an icon among Lovecraft's literary circle, who
added to the book's legend by referring to it in their own writing.
People became convinced that it was a real book and its references
in literature and film continue to grow. The book also examines
what people have undergone to find the Necronomicon and the cottage
industry that has arisen over the past three decades to supply the
continuing demand for a book that does not exist.Scholarly yet
accessible, humorous and intriguing, The Necronomicon Files
illuminates the depth of the creative process and the
transformations of modern myth, while still managing to preserve
much of the romance and fascination that surrounds the Necronomicon
in our culture. "Explores the legends and rumors surrounding one of
the most famous literaryhoaxes of the twentieth century.
