Senās burvestības, maģijas un burvju mākslas zinātne

The pages of this recreated edition from 1877 present us with mysterious and inexplicable phenomena such as spiritualism, mediumship, magic, and witchcraft. The author-editor made an attempt to understand all these phenomena from a scientific perspective, separating truth from fiction,... fantasy from reality, and questionable theoretical constructs from facts confirmed by practice.
In this book, you will encounter Zoroastrianism, Chaldean and Indian magic, Kabbalism, and the teachings of alchemists. You will immerse yourself in the search for the Philosopher's Stone, discover the secrets of ancient spirits and magnetizers, and follow the wonders of Cagliostro and Mesmer. There is nothing secret that will not eventually become evident, and every seemingly inexplicable phenomenon can, in time, find a scientific explanation — this thought serves as the leitmotif of this work.
This edition is intended for those who are interested in the miraculous and mysterious phenomena that our surrounding world is so rich in.
