520    As when iron is drawn to a magnet, camphor is sucked into 
       hot air, crystal lights up in the Sun, sulphur and a 
       volatile liquid are kindled by flame, an empty eggshell 
       filled with dew is raised towards the Sun ... ' This rich,
       fascinating anthology of the western magical tradition 
       stretches from its roots in the wizardry of the Old 
       Testament and the rituals of the ancient world, through 
       writers such as Thomas Aquinas, John Milton, John Dee and 
       Matthew Hopkins, and up to the tangled, arcane beginnings 
       of the scientific revolution. Arranged historically, with 
       commentary, this book includes incantations, charms, 
       curses, Golems, demons and witches, as well as astrology, 
       divination and alchemy, with some ancient and medieval 
       works which were once viewed as too dangerous even to 
       open. Selected and translated with an introduction and 
       notes by Brian Copenhaver."
