Now you can learn from the original, most important source for magic in the Western world that has ever been published, when you get Agrippa\’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy. This massive volume was originally published in 1531, and occultists have been drawing on it ever since. Now, Llewellyn is proud to produce the first complete reprint of the original English translation in the last 500 years. Donald Tyson edited this work and removed the hundreds of errors that appeared in the original translation. He also fully annotated the work, to make it understandable—and usable—by people today.·Discover what the Renaissance scholar knew about astrology, medicine, history, herbs, geography, animals, angels, devils, Witches, charms, the weather, and a host of other subjects ·Gain immediate reference to a vast amount of arcane, but completely annotated, magical material·Find corrected drawings of seals, sigils, and magic squares, and correctly represented geomantic figures·Explore the practical Kabbalah, geomancy, the magic squares, the elements, the humors, and the Soul of the World·Consult the new Biographical dictionary for background on each of the hundreds of writers and historical figures referred to by Agrippa·Consult the new Geographical Dictionary for data on referenced rivers, mountains, nations, cities—many of which now carry different names.The Three Books of Occult Philosophy is the most complete repository of pagan and Neoplatonic magic ever compiled. This book is packed with material you will not find elsewhere, including copious extracts on magic from obscure or lost works by Pythagoras, Ptolemy, Plato, Aristotle, and many others. Tyson\’s detailed annotations clarify difficult references and provide origins of quotations, even expanding upon them in many cases, in order to make Agrippa\’s work more accessible to the modern reader.The Three Books of Occult Philosophy is the ultimate "how-to" for magical workings. It describes how to work all manner of divinations and natural and ceremonial magic in such clear and useful detail that it is still the guide for modern techniques. The extensive new supplementary material makes this wisdom practical for use today.这三本神秘学哲学书是有史以来最完整的异教和新柏拉图魔法知识库。这本书充满了你在别处找不到的材料，包括从毕达哥拉斯、托勒密、柏拉图、亚里士多德和许多其他人的晦涩或遗失作品中提取的大量魔法摘录。泰森的详细注释澄清了困难的参考文献并提供了引文的来源，甚至在许多情况下对其进行了扩展，以使现代读者更容易理解阿格里帕的作品。它是了解西方神秘主义的绝佳起点，内容包含：1) 约翰·迪伊和爱德华·凯利（1500 年代后期）——有许多关于他们短暂但密切合作的历史和成果的书籍。2) 玫瑰十字会宣言（1600 年代初期；作者身份不明，通常以“Christian Rosenkreutz”为名）——可从许多网络资源中获得。3) Count Cagliostro (aka Joseph Balsamo; 1700s) – 主要是传记作品。4) Adam Weishaupt & Illuminati sects (1700s)——主要是传记和历史作品。5）伊曼纽尔·斯威登堡（1700年代）6）Paschal Beverly Randolph（1800 年代）——该世纪美国灵性运动中最重要、最有影响力的神秘主义者。7) Eliphas Levi (1800s) – 法国神秘学家。8) MacGregor Mathers（1800 年代后期）——Golden Dawn 的创始人；以诺魔法和卡巴拉专家9) Helena Blavatsky（1800 年代后期）- 神智学会的创始人。10) Aleister Crowley（1800 年代末至 1900 年代中期）- Golden Dawn 的成员，AA 的创始人，OTO 的成员，“魔法”运动的发明者 – 以诺魔法，仪式魔法，密宗，性魔法，各种形式的瑜伽11），GI葛吉夫（1900） -第四道12) Dion Fortune (1900s) – 实用魔法，卡巴拉13) Emericus Durden (2000s) – 怀疑虚无主义 （较少）这是 Llewellyn 源书系列中“西方神秘主义基础书”系列的其中一部，写作风格偏向于历史、理论，注释和附录非常完整，适合研究神秘学史的初学者，对普通的兴趣读者可能略枯燥。
