The Key to a Masterwork of Western Occultism
The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy,
by Henry Cornelius Agrippa and unnamed others, is considered one of the
cornerstones of Western magic, and the grimoires it contains are among
the most important that exist in the Western tradition. For more than
three hundred years, this mysterious tome has been regarded as
difficult or even impossible to understand—until now.
Occult scholar Donald Tyson presents a fully annotated, corrected, and
modernized edition of Stephen Skinner’s 1978 facsimile edition of the
original work, which was six tracts published as one volume in 1655.
For the first time, these classic works of Western magic have been
rendered fully accessible to the novice practitioner, as well as occult
scholars and skilled magicians. Tyson presents clear instruction and
practical insight on a variety of magic techniques, providing
contemporary magicians with a working grimoire of the arcane.
