Magic, White and Black - The Science on Finite and Infinite Life - Containing Practical Hints for Students of Occultism, (Paperback)

An exploration of the basis of magic, focusing on its scientific and natural sources as well as its lack of supernatural relation.

This classic guide to magic and occultism was first published in 1886. It was written by Franz Hartmann, a German theosophist, astrologer, doctor, and geomancer. Hartmann presents his treatise on magic, proposing that it is part of nature and is responsible for the growth of a seed into a tree or a child into a man. He explains magic through scientific evidence and denies any supernatural explanation for the occult.
