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

Very informative. Great printing tight binding. A great addition to any occult library.

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.

The book looks awesome on the bookshelf or coffee table. But its contents are just little 3/4-page blurbs. It's not strung together into a comprehensive history for reference or anything. It's little tidbits, like trivia, with illustrations on every other page.While it's not ideal for reference, it is great for a coffee table! It's beautifully designed inside and out. You don't have to be really that interested in the history of occultism to enjoy it. It's 1-subject per page structure and illustrations mean that you can enjoy it one page at a time, rather than having to read through the whole thing. It looks nice even if you never open it.If you want a lovely, magical mood-setting book for visitors/clients to look at or thumb through, this book is definitely the right pick.

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!!!!

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.

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!

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?!
