Transcendental Magic is a classic of occultism, prized for its
wide-ranging wisdom, thorough guidance and revelatory contents.
Written by Eliphas Levi in the mid-19th century, Transcendental
Magic offers seekers of occult knowledge a bounty of guidance and
knowledge. Informed by research spanning many centuries of arcane
arts, the author offers us profound guidance to the ceremonial
rituals one must perform in order to make contact with spirits and
other non-corporeal entities of the universe. In Levi's
explanations we encounter various figures of occult lore. Monad is
synonymous with God; the creator of everything contained in our
physical plane. Derived from the Pythagorean school, through Levi
we learn how Monad interacts with the creation. This discussion is
related to the Kabbalah, which attempts to define the relationship
between what is infinite and what is finite.
Charles Fort's classic recording of unexplained, paranormal events
and phenomena offer fascinating insights into bizarre occurrences
the author felt had been unjustly damned from formal, scientific
study. The title derives from the author's perception that the
book's subjects were so stigmatized and excluded from ordinary
scientific inquiry that they had become 'damned'. Perhaps
permanently forbade for formal study, the oddities and unexplained
events in this text were felt worthy of attention by the author,
who eventually became an authority on anomalous phenomena. The
topics in Fort's thesis include unexplained disappearances of large
groups of people, frogs and fish suddenly raining from the sky, the
possibility that mythical beasts such as giants exist, UFOs
manifest as glowing and sometimes moving lights in the sky, and
bizarre weather phenomena. Fort attributes credence to many of
these oddities, and argues that science - by dismissing them - has
become a religion in itself.
