The Three Books of Occult Philosophy's vast store of magical lore has been so influential that occultists have been drawing upon it for the past five centuries. This classic work was first published in 1531, and translated into English in 1651, but it has never since been reprinted in its entirety. Now - for the first time in 500 years - editor Donald Tyson presents these works as Agrippa intended them to appear: wholly complete and free from the hundreds of errors made in the original translation. As well as providing extensive insight into the foundations of Western Esoteric tradition, the Three Books of Occult Philosophy is the ultimate "how-to" for magical workings. It describes how to work all manner of divinations, natural and ceremonial magic in such clear and useful detail that it is still the guide for modern techniques. Paperback, 708 pages, as well as almost 150 pages of appendixes
