First published in 1957, The Secret Lore of Magic is a compendium of material from rare source books describing magical beliefs and practices around the world, and throughout history.
Together with Oriental Magic it provides one of the widest-ranging studies of human magical belief systems, and is thus a priceless reference for psychologists, ethnologists and others interested in the rise and development of human beliefs.
The Secret Lore of Magic helps readers understand what magic is and isn’t, while offering dependable information about what was previously a shadowy and confusing subject.
