Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

A New and Complete Illustration of the Occult Sciences is a comprehensive guide to astrology, palmistry, geomancy, and natural magic, grounded in both Hermetic and Christian esoteric traditions. Sibly synthesizes centuries of arcane knowledge, explaining planetary influences, talismanic magic, and the use of celestial bodies in predicting future events. His work is notable for integrating scientific observation with spiritual insight. This illustrated edition remains a foundational text for students of Renaissance occultism and early modern Western esotericism.
