Behind the Crystal Ball : Magic, Science and the Occult from Antiquity Through the New Age
Bok av Anthony Francis Aveni
From ancient times to the present, magic and science have always been intertwined. In this fascinating book, astronomer/anthropologist Anthony Aveni conducts a whirlwind tour of occult practices -- from astrology, alchemy, and phrenology to psychokinesis, crystals, and channelling -- and finds that many of magic's ancient rites have been revived and re-examined in the New Age.
