Three Books of Occult Philosophy
Review:
Illustrated, archaic, authentic, essential: De Occulta Philosophia (Three Books of Occult Philosophy) is the most influential book on magic ever written. Agrippa was a Renaissance German knight, theologian, feminist philosopher, and defender of witches who wandered the courts of Europe learning about and advocating for magic as the true synthesis of religion and science. His celebrated and persecuted grimoire and textbook on magic was an inspiration for The Goodly Spellbook. Editor Tyson's well-researched explanatory notes and illustrations more than make up for Freake's awkward 17th-century translation from the original Latin, which unfortunately remains the only available version in English of all three volumes.
