Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of magic through the lens of history. The author delves into the origins and evolution of magic, examining how ancient cultures viewed and practiced this mystical art. From the wisdom of the Magi in Persia and the secrets of the Egyptian priests, the book traces the development of magical practices across various civilizations. The author also investigates the philosophical underpinnings of magic, particularly through the lens of the Jewish Cabbalah. This ancient tradition of mystical interpretations of Jewish scripture offers insights into the spiritual dimensions of magic and its relationship to divine powers. The book delves into the Cabbalah's profound teachings on creation, the human soul, and the potential for spiritual transformation. The author challenges conventional understandings of magic, arguing that it is not merely a collection of fantastical myths or superstitious beliefs. Rather, the author sees magic as a real and potent force within human consciousness, a power that can be used for both good and evil. The book invites readers to consider the potential for spiritual growth and understanding that magic holds, while also acknowledging its darker manifestations. Through a compelling blend of historical analysis and philosophical exploration, this book offers a fresh perspective on the enduring power and complexities of magic.
