Hard Back. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Barnes & Noble Printing. 160 Pages Indexed. CLean book with bright pages, book has stain on back cover. Until recently, the term occult was reserved for the black arts alone. Today, the occult has a wider connotation: it encompasses the wisdom of the ancients and the many branches of esoteric thought adapted from their teachings down the ages. ESP, reincarnation, astrology, meditation, faith-healing, shamanism, Tarot and out- of-body experiences are just a few of the diverse subjects included, as well as New Age practices and beliefs-whose origins are, in turn, rooted in the philosophies and faiths of the Eastern world. Once considered a dubious field of study, mystical beliefs are now embraced by millions around the world, and countless occult phenomena are scrutinized by scientists, who have come to acknowledge connections between the mind, body and spirit. The occult has moved out of the realm of the sinister into the fascinating frontiers of human spiritual potential. This invaluable sourcebook has been compiled for those who are exploring new areas within the numerous and often confusing possibilities underlying the esoteric disciplines. It consists of a series of informative, straightforwardly written treatments of key areas within the broad themes of magic; witchcraft; schools of mystical belief; divination systems; inner experience; and esoteric folklore and arts. Each section provides the reader with a clear, balanced description of the history and practices within its subject, accompanied by illustrations ranging from historical woodcuts to fine art and photographs. Each subject is keyed to the bibliographic section for further reference, and a useful Who's Who appendix provides concise biographical sketches of the major figures in the history of esoteric thought. This source- book offers a system of exploration into the realms of the unknown. It speaks to those who are concerned with expanding human consciousness and addressing the timeless, mysterious questions that have preoccupied our thinking from the dawn of history to today's millennial age. Contents in Six Chapters: Magic, Forms of Witchcraft, Schools of Mystical Belief, Divination Systems, Inner Experience, and Esoteric Culture and Lore.…
