THE MAGUS
A COMPLETE SYSTEM OF OCCULT PHILOSOPHY
FRANCIS BARRETT
When first published in 1801, The Magus presented a complete study in the practice of ritual magic. IT was compiled by Barrett from many different occult sources—such as Agrippa’s work, the Heptameron, and various manuscripts of The Key of Solomon—in response to renewed public interest in magic and the ancient, classic texts. As such, it was the first readily accessible English translation, or republication, of long-out-of-print works, and it was fundamental for may exploring the Western magic tradition at the dawn of the Victorian Occult Revival. The Magus is actually separated into three books combined in one volume. This facsimile is a photo-reproduction of all three books from the first edition. The color plates have been reproduced from the originals using modern methods for color accuracy not achieved in previous reprints of the seminal work. Released simultaneously in two editions, both are printed on acid-free, archival quality paper; the hardcover being smythe-sewn and bound in cloth, limited to 475 copies.
