Book Description

Series: Simon Cox's a to Z

In this simple-to-follow, A-to-Z guide, the details of studies into the occult and the truth about occultists, who, from the earliest times in history, have attempted to remove the veil that shrouds this historic concept are revealed. Several questions are asked and answered, including What were the world’s greatest occultists—including Plato, Nostradamus, Isaac Newton, and William Blake—searching for? What are the true origins of alchemy? What secret knowledge is concealed within the tarot deck? Was the infamous Aleister Crowley really "the wickedest man in the world"? Did the Ancient Egyptians believe in magic? Through these mysteries along the pathways of the occult, "the hidden" will finally be revealed.
