The History of Magic Volume 2

Step deeper into the shadowed corridors of human belief with The History of Magic: Volume 2, Joseph Ennemoser’s sweeping exploration of the supernatural forces that have shaped civilizations. Building on the foundations of Volume 1, this installment turns its gaze toward the magical traditions of the Germanic and medieval world, tracing how visions, prophecy, dreams, witchcraft, and occult practices evolved from ancient times into the early modern era.

With the precision of a historian and the curiosity of a philosopher, Ennemoser uncovers the psychological, cultural, and spiritual roots of mystical experiences. He examines apparitions, second sight, somnambulism, divination rituals, miraculous healings, and the pervasive belief in hidden energies—a precursor to the 19th-century fascination with animal magnetism, which he helped popularize.

Listeners are guided through centuries of magical thought, revealing not only the strange and the uncanny but also the deep human desire to understand forces beyond the visible world. Whether discussing the rituals of Teutonic tribes, the dream-visions of medieval mystics, or the evolving science of the mind, Ennemoser weaves a narrative that is both historically rich and eerily relevant to modern questions about consciousness and the unknown.

Perfect for enthusiasts of occult history, esoteric traditions, supernatural studies, and the psychology of mysticism, this volume offers a captivating blend of scholarship and storytelling—a journey through the boundary where myth meets science, and belief shapes reality.

Rediscover a forgotten classic that continues to influence researchers, occultists, and seekers of hidden knowledge.
