Magic is essentially about power. Most of us would like to have power - power to gain what we wish, power to do what we want, even power over others. For centuries men and women have sought such power in the rituals and formulas of magic. Some of them have turned to the ancient wisdom of the Cabala; some have looked for it in the hidden significance of words and sounds; others have believed that numbers hold the keys. But all of them have tried to understand and influence the world in which we live. In this unusual book , Stuart Holroyd traces their extraordinary search and coolly assesses their findings. What exactly did they discover? Just what power did they succeed in controlling? Are there, in fact, laws other than the familiar laws of nature, that people can use to gain special and remarkable powers?
