Annotation
From ancient times to the present, magic and science have always been intertwined. In this fascinating book, astronomer/anthropologist Anthony Aveni conducts a whirlwind tour of occult practices -- from astrology, alchemy, and phrenology to psychokinesis, crystals, and channelling -- and finds that many of magic's ancient rites have been revived and re-examined in the New Age.
