Description
Originally published in 1910 by Johnson Smith & Company, “The Book of Forbidden Knowledge” stands among a collection of manuscripts crafted all through the late 1800s and extending into the 1920s. These manuscripts delve into more than a few facets of the occult realm, encompassing mesmerism, ceremonial magic, the dark arts, talismans, and more. What sets this work apart is its comprehensive nature, as it consolidates some of these topics and more within a single volume, somewhat than treating them one by one.
Encompassing subjects ranging from divination to folk remedies, “The Book of Forbidden Knowledge” might be more correctly characterized as a recent grimoire in comparison to many similar works originating from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Unlike the distinct paper covers of a large number of competing titles from that period, this book amalgamates a wide spectrum of mystical subjects into a unified whole.
