One of the most interesting characters from early times was Abraham Abulafia (1240-95) who made available much arcane knowledge which ultimately formed the basis of the Kabbalah. Believing in the divine nature of the Hebrew alphabet, he held that God cannot be described or conceptualised during everyday symbols and therefore used abstract letter combinations in intense meditations lasting for hours to reach ecstatic states. By the 17th century, folk magic and witchcraft were being used side by side and most people were alternately fascinated and frightened by energies offered. This guide will help readers attract positive friendships, love and luck as well as promote healing, careers and protection and how to master the incredible art of wicca and spell-making and includes a section on tools used as well as information on how to consecrate them. 304 large glamorous beautifully decorated pages, 18.3 x 22.8cm.
