Humans have always been fascinated by powers that exist beyond the boundaries of science. From astral travel to creating charms and potions, and from summoning the dead to performing black magic, we try to push the boundaries of the real to access information or to dominate others. Sorcerers have existed since the dawn of time, and, unlike popular misconceptions, are not all evil.

From the Romans to today, sorcerers seek to harness these powers through ceremonies and magical implements to navigate the spiritual realms and discover answers to their questions. This book delves into the practices of sorcery and documents humanity’s history with the powers beyond. Annotated and amply illustrated, the book also has an index and recommended reading for further research.
