Ciencias ocultas, hechicería y magia

The belief in some form of magic has accompanied humanity throughout its history. In fact, in an increasingly rational and scientistic world, the idea that hidden or arcane knowledge can give access to another hidden reality is more entrenched and widespread than ever. This book is a vivid and fascinating tale of the cryptic, the mystical, and the supernatural, beginning with the earliest evidences of magical thought in the dark gloom of a paleolithic cave and ending in the intense light of the contemporary digital age and its renewed interest in paganism. With hundreds of images collected from rare and exceptional sources, in-depth explorations of intercultural ideas and trends, and profiles of key figures in the history of magic.
