The word 'magic' evokes many ideas, from a stage magician
performing illusions to the pyrotechnics of witches and wizards
depicted in movies and on television. But there is a more practical
definition of magic - the attempt to affect the real world, one's
self, or other people by tapping into mental abilities and unseen
mystical forces. The keys to doing this have been closely guarded
in the past, leading to the perception of magic as an occult
pursuit. Yet, magic and magical traditions have existed in some
form in almost every culture throughout history. Similarly, alchemy
is a form of magic that involves harnessing the elements to achieve
enlightenment and wisdom. Alchemists hope to transform themselves
through its rituals and achieve a higher physical state, and
alchemy's experimental nature has influenced the development of
modern science. Magic and alchemy share a central philosophy, one
that has had a great impact on the progress of Western society.
This fascinating new book covers the history, practices, and
philosophies of magic and alchemy in Western history, explaining
their basic concepts, looking at the tools used by magicians and
alchemists, and discussing the rituals associated with each. The
chapters include: The Beginning of Magic; The Practice of Magic;
The History of Alchemy; The Philosophy of Alchemy; the Synthesis of
Magic, Alchemy, and Kabbalah; and, Magic and Alchemy Today.
