AN A TO Z OF THE OCCULT
Book ID/图书代码： 08430006B07131
English Summary/英文概要： ’The knowledge of the hidden’ - that is the meaning of the Latin occultus, from which we take our modern phrase ’the occult’. Why is it that this subject stirs up so much controversy? Is the answer present in that very definition: the idea that studies into the occult are pushing at the very boundaries of human knowledge? In this simple-to-follow A to Z guide, you will discover the details of both studies into the occult and the truth about occultists, who, from the earliest times in history, have attempted to remove the veil that shrouds ’the knowledge of the hidden’. This book covers such topics as: What were the world’s greatest occultists, including Plato, Nostradamus, Isaac Newton and William Blake, searching for; What are the true origins of alchemy; What secret knowledge is concealed within the tarot deck; Was the infamous Aleister Crowley really ’the wickedest man in the world’; and, did the Ancient Egyptians believe in magic? Simon Cox and Mark Foster guide you along the pathways of the occult and attempt to bring the hidden into full view.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 拉丁语中的“occultus”一词意为——“被隐藏的知识”，衍生为现代短语中的“神秘学”。为什么该主题激起了如此多的争论？答案能否这样定义：关于“神秘”的研究观念正好处于人类知识体系的边界？在这本能够简单遵循的从A到Z的指南中，你会发现关于神秘学与神秘学家之真相这两项研究的细节。从最早的历史阶段起，那些神秘学家们已试图揭开“被隐藏的知识”的面纱。这本书涉及到诸如以下的话题：世界上最伟大的神秘学家，包括柏拉图、诺斯特拉德马斯、艾萨克•牛顿和威廉•布莱克，他们在寻找什么；什么是炼金术的真正起源；塔罗牌隐藏了何种神秘的知识；声名狼藉的Aleister Crowley是否真的是世界上最邪恶的男人；以及，古埃及人是否相信巫术？Simon Cox和Mark Foster将指引你通向神秘学之路，并试图展示（神秘学）隐秘之全貌。(LNL)
