A Briefe Historie of Magi Zan Fraser

"Magike is mightie and foretelleth great matters." A Briefe Historie of Magi is a fascinating and revealing look at the Magician in Western Culture, from Magi of the Ancient World to such notables as Agrippa, Dee, Faust, and Prospero. From the influence on popular culture and drama of the late Elizabethan Era's Hermetic movement to the most famous instance of Witches in the world -- and most infamous of the explored Mystical Arts -- the dark legend of Macbeth. This volume is the counterpoint to Fraser's A Briefe Historie of Wytches. Anyone who has ever been interested in the Witches in Shakespeare's Play, or in the ancient powerful secrets of the Magi -- A Briefe Historie of Magi is for you.

"Think that for you nothing is impossible; deem that you are too immortal and that you are able to grasp things in your thought." -- The Hermetica

The other books in Zan Fraser's Mystic Arts series are The Goddess of Wytches, The Horned God of Wytches, The Burning Times and A Briefe History of Wytches.
