Автор:Arthur Edward Waite Год: 2002 Издание:Wordsworth Reference Страниц: 48 ISBN: 1853263559 First published in 1911 as The Book of Ceremonial Magic, Arthur Edward Wane's classic work explains the rites, mysteries and secret traditions of Witchcraft, Sorcery and 'Infernal Necromancy', and also explores Theurgy, the White Magic which invokes beneficent spirits. Presented in two parts, the first 'contains an analytical and critical account of the chief magical rituals known to the writer'; the second 'forms a complete Grimoire of Black magic'. With illustrations and diagrams throughout, the author's mission, 'to permit the rituals of White and Black Magic to speak for themselves', is brilliantly accomplished in this extraordinary text.
