The Magus, Book 1 by Francis Barrett

Description

The Magus, Book 1 is a book by Francis Barrett, first published in 1801. This influential occult text serves as a compendium of Western esoteric thought, synthesizing elements of natural magic, alchemy, astrology, Kabbalah, and the writings of earlier magicians and philosophers. Drawing heavily on Renaissance sources, it aimed to revive and organize arcane knowledge for a new audience at the dawn of the 19th century. The work reflects Barrett’s deep interest in the magical traditions of antiquity and the philosophical underpinnings of mystical practice, offering both theoretical discussions and practical instruction. Widely regarded as a cornerstone of modern occult literature, it played a significant role in the later development of ceremonial magic and helped inspire the Victorian occult revival.
