Ceremonial magic and natural philosophy
The first volume of Barrett's influential compendium of occult knowledge. It largely consists of edited and organized extracts from Agrippa's 'De Occulta Philosophia' and other classical grimoires. It covers natural magic, alchemy, and the properties of stones, plants, and animals, intended to revive the study of 'celestial sciences' in the post-Enlightenment era.
