SynopsisIn serious, educated, and accessible terms, this classic combines classical Neoplatonic and Hermetic philosophy with elements of Jewish Kabbalah and Christianity to form a systematic exposition of occult knowledge. 11 illustrations., Agrippa combined classical Neoplatonic and Hermetic philosophy with elements of Jewish Kabbalah and Christianity to form a systematic exposition of occult knowledge. His explanations of planetary rulerships, enchantments, sorceries, divination, and dream interpretation offer a host of amazing possibilities: improved health, prolonged life, increased wealth, and enhanced foresight. 11 illustrations., Written by a legendary scholar of Renaissance esoterica, this is the single most important text in the history of Western occultism, Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) combined classical Neoplatonic and Hermetic philosophy with elements of the Jewish Kabbalah and Christianity to form a systematic exposition of occult knowledge. Agrippa's view of divine order was subsequently eclipsed by the materialism and atheism of the Enlightenment, but 500 years later, his influential work endures as a cornerstone of mystic literature. In serious, educated, and accessible terms, Agrippa defines occultism and magic as a natural means of attaining knowledge and power. His explanations of planetary rulerships, enchantments, sorceries, types of divination, and the interpretation of dreams offer an intriguing array of possibilities: improved health, prolonged life, increased wealth, and enhanced foresight. This inexpensive edition of his classic study offers students of the history of ideas and occult traditions an essential reference tool.
