The Occult Book: A Chronological Journey from Alchemy to Wicca (Union Square & Co. Chronologies)

This is a really interesting book. Each page presents a different figure or period in spiritual history. It is a hardcover book with full color pages on the opposite page of each entry. I’m definitely buying a couple copies for my friends who appreciate a perspective outside of mainstream religious history. The only drawback is that each entry sparks a different curiosity, and as such, the need for more detailed information.,,

Great read for any occult loving and anyone whom may be curious about its history. It goes in order in time, which helps the reader understand where it came from, and where it is today.

Gorgeous book and of great quality and texture!!!! You want to start from the beginning of your occult knowledge, I would definitely recommend reading it!!!!! And it’s gorgeous and the gold and blue is stunning together!!!!

Scholars and veterans of occult study will not like this book. But for someone like me who hashas only been studying these subjects for a year or two this book is great. It is going to turn you on to several historical figures and events that you did not know about. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the text of each subject is only one page. It would have been better if the text was two or maybe three pages with more detail. Still a spectacular book. Especially for this price. The artwork is excellent too.

The media could not be loaded. I have this book in audiobook and wanted to physically have a copy and I would recommend this copy to anyone. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and high quality clear images. The book itself has engraving all over it. It’s just an extremely beautiful book definitely would want in any collection.

First of all, the book is gorgeous (hardcover), and frankly quite a bargain. So points for aesthetics, but also for content. I knew much, but also learned quite a bit in these pages, written by an esteemed occult author. Basically an encyclopedia of the occult, and while not totally inclusive, it's good and mpressive nonetheless.Recommended, as it will help beginners especially, but seasoned occultists will learn a bit too. Plus did I mention it's so beautiful?!

Given the span of time they covered, it makes sense that they only devoted 1 page to each topic. They could have used 2 pages, but I really enjoyed getting to see the pictures of various historical books, pictures etc to complement the stories told on the other page. The binding is awesome, it's a nice, hard cover book. I really enjoyed the info in it. I'm excited to get his book on Conspiracies next!

Snippets of information from ancient times until now, glossed by one of the most prolific author/scholars of the occult world. Chiefly likely to be useful to journalists, if any exist anymore. Entertaining.
