The Magus | A Complete System of Occult Philosophy – Book 1 by Francis Barrett F.R.C.



Step into the arcane world of high magic with The Magus, one of the most influential grimoires of the 19th century. In Book 1, occultist Francis Barrett assembles a sweeping synthesis of mystical traditions—drawing from Agrippa, Paracelsus, and ancient Hermeticism—to present a comprehensive foundation of ceremonial magic.

This volume explores the hidden forces of nature, the elements, the spirits of the cosmos, planetary intelligences, and the magical correspondences that bind all things together. It serves as a masterclass in the theory and practice of magic, alchemy, astrology, and the Kabbalah.

Whether you’re a student of the esoteric arts or a seeker of forbidden knowledge, The Magus offers a rare glimpse into the roots of Western occultism—a system meant not only to influence the material world but to awaken the latent powers within the self.

Dare to listen—and unlock the secrets once reserved for initiates.
