The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy

The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, containing six tracts by Henry Cornelius Agrippa and several other occultists of the era, is considered one of the cornerstones of Western magic. The works contains are among the most essential writings in the Western tradition. For more than three hundred years, this mysterious tome was regarded as difficult or even impossible to understand - until now.

Occult scholar Donald Tyson presents a fully annotated, corrected, and modernized edition of Stephen Skinner's 1978 facsimile edition of the original work, which was initially published as one volume in 1655. For the first time, these classic works of Western magic have been rendered fully accessible to the novice practitioner, as well as occult scholars and skilled magicians. Tyson presents clear instruction and practical insight on a variety of magic techniques, providing contemporary magicians with a working grimoire of the arcane.
