The history of magic : including a clear and precise exposition of its procedure, its rites and its mysteries
Eliphas Lévi's history of magic, first published in French in 1860 and issued here in Arthur Edward Waite's English translation by W. Rider & Son of London in 1922, for occult students and general readers. The 26 plates are high-contrast line and stipple engravings of pentacles, zodiacal wheels, planetary sigils, magic squares and emblematic figures, usable as circular badges, symbol sets and esoteric ornament.
