The mysteries and secrets of magic
A popular survey of magical practice and ceremonial ritual by museum curator C. J. S. Thompson, published in London by John Lane in 1927 for general readers interested in occult history. Line-block reproductions of talismans, seals, and magic circles carry dense hand-lettered Hebrew and Latin inscriptions, crosses, pentagrams, and nested borders, usable as ornamental frames, monograms, and diagrammatic motifs.
