Mysticism, magic & ritual

The essential guidebook to the mind-expanding experiences and discoveries of the 20th Century.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER- Explore the history of magic and the occult in ""the most interesting, informative, and thought-provoking book on the subject"" (Sunday Telegraph).

Colin Wilson's great classic work is a comprehensive history of mystery and magic. His genius lies in producing a skillful synthesis of the available material, seeing the occult in the light of reason-and reason in the light of the mystical and paranormal. This international bestseller is an enlightening 800-page exploration of the occult in 3 distinct parts-

. PART ONE- Start your journey with a wide-ranging survey of the occult and magic.

. PART TWO- Tourthe vast history of magic, fromMan's evolution to thekabbalists and beyond.

. PART THREE- Explore Man's latent powers, including witchcraft, lycanthropy, and more

Republished after his death, and with a new foreword by bibliographer Colin Stanley, Wilson brings his own refreshingly optimistic and stimulating interpretation to the worlds of the paranormal, the occult, and the supernatural.

Reviews for The Occult: The Ultimate Book for Those Who Would Walk with the Gods

"""The Occult is the most interesting, informative, and thought-provoking book on the subject I have read.""Arthur Calder-Marshall, Sunday Telegraph;""I am very impressed by this book, not only by its erudition but by the marshalling of it, and above all the good-natured, unaffected charm of the author whose reasoning is never too far-fetched, who is never carried away by preposterous theories.""Cyril Connolly, Sunday Times"
