One of several books obtained from a used collection.
Like new minus some superficial shelf wear and some odd burn like stain on the upper border of the inside front cover. Almost like a suburn. The spine is unbroken, so this book hasn't even been read.
by Richard Cavendish.
PB, 1983 edition.
“We are all black magicians in our dreams, in our fantasies, perversions, and phobias... In The Black Arts, Richard Cavendish has not only gathered many fascinating facts from the past and from our own time; he has also presented the philosophy of the black magicians and gives many excellent interpretations of their symbols and rites. He has done all this in such a concise and readable style that the reader is hardly aware of how much effort has gone into this work and how original are many of its ideas and interpretations ...Works such as Cavendish’s are a reminder that we are living in an era of amnesia. We have forgotten those vital truths that man once knew and by whose strength he lived.” —Isaac Bashevis Singer, Book Week
