1719 1ed Natural MAGIC Witchcraft Astrology Geomancy Martius Miracles Medicine

Johann Nikolaus Martius’s ‘Lessons of Wonderful Magic’ is a fascinating early 18th-century treatise on the use of magic for all purposes including medical uses. Martius provides a collection of articles on astrology, miracles, alchemy, herbal remedies, and other unexplainable of ‘magic’ phenomena.

Martius’s ‘Wunderbaren Magie’ is an important look in natural magic and the healing properties that come from the world. However, no 17th- or 18th-century magic manual would be complete with the inclusion of discussions on diabolic magic and witchcraft. It is in this section that he covers the use of prophecy and geomancy as well as the mystical traditions of the kabbalah.
