Описание: The Three Books of Occult Philosophy is the single most important text in the history of Western occultism. Occultists and magicians have been drawing upon its vast storehouse of magical lore for five centuries, although they seldom if ever credit their source. For example, Francis Barrett's Magus is a wonderful book only because it is made up of a direct plagiarism of part of the Occult Philosophy, with some additional material attributed to Agrippa (the apocryphal Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy) thrown in at the end. The Golden Dawn systems of the Kabbalah, geomancy, elements, and seals and squares of the planets are all taken in large measure from Agrippa. Though countless writers have borrowed from the text, the Occult Philosophy has never been reprinted in its entirety, except in limited facsimile editions, since 1651.
