Explore the occult from ancient times to the modern day with one of its most respected scholars and practitioners.

Take an enlightening journey through occult history, exploring 100 dramatic incidents, arcane knowledge, and key historical figures from around the world. John Michael Greer delves into two millennia of tradition, from the earliest alchemists to pagan rituals; from the philosopher's stone to cabala, the first tarot, and the Knights Templar; and from the first horoscopes to fortune-telling trials and the birth of modern witchcraft, or Wicca.

Extremely beautifully made
I have this book in audiobook and wanted to physically have a copy and I would recommend this copy to anyone. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and high quality clear images. The book itself has engraving all over it. It’s just an extremely beautiful book definitely would want in any collection.

Only reviewing the appearance. Looks pretty nice, love the look and illustrations. Amazon left a pretty noticeable dent on the cover near the joint, though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looks Awesome, No Substance
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020
Verified Purchase
The book looks awesome on the bookshelf or coffee table. But its contents are just little 3/4-page blurbs. It's not strung together into a comprehensive history for reference or anything. It's little tidbits, like trivia, with illustrations on every other page.
While it's not ideal for reference, it is great for a coffee table! It's beautifully designed inside and out. You don't have to be really that interested in the history of occultism to enjoy it. It's 1-subject per page structure and illustrations mean that you can enjoy it one page at a time, rather than having to read through the whole thing. It looks nice even if you never open it.
If you want a lovely, magical mood-setting book for visitors/clients to look at or thumb through, this book is definitely the right pick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great but Brief Info
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2023
Verified Purchase
Given the span of time they covered, it makes sense that they only devoted 1 page to each topic. They could have used 2 pages, but I really enjoyed getting to see the pictures of various historical books, pictures etc to complement the stories told on the other page. The binding is awesome, it's a nice, hard cover book. I really enjoyed the info in it. I'm excited to get his book on Conspiracies next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice encyclopedic survey of the occult
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2023
Verified Purchase
First of all, the book is gorgeous (hardcover), and frankly quite a bargain. So points for aesthetics, but also for content. I knew much, but also learned quite a bit in these pages, written by an esteemed occult author. Basically an encyclopedia of the occult, and while not totally inclusive, it's good and mpressive nonetheless.

Recommended, as it will help beginners especially, but seasoned occultists will learn a bit too. Plus did I mention it's so beautiful?!

5.0 out of 5 stars UN EXCELENTE Y OBJETIVO VIAJE POR EL MUNDO DEL OCULTISMO
Reviewed in Mexico on November 12, 2022
Verified Purchase
Es un gran recorrido del mundo del ocultismo, en forma clara, fresca, dinamica y directa, sin ponerle "mucha crema a los tacos", como es una costumbre en los libros "santos, alquimicos, religiosos y ocultistas", donde abundan los autoelogios, las alabanzas excesivas, y las referencias que solo yo soy el portador del guacamole sagrado.
Buen libro para acordarse de que nadie sabe donde está Dios, (y los mas probable es que ni él mismo lo sepa). Las ilustraciones de pagina entera hacen de este libro una enseñanza amplia y divertida.

Really amazing quality book! It is a bit different than I thought it would be, as I believed it would be even more informative and in depth history, but it is great that it summarises it all in such a short way.

Riassume per tappe la storia dei personaggi che, anche a costo della vita, hanno permesso che arrivasse fino a noi un sapere che non e' per tutti.
