Jumia Books Occult Philosophy: The Companion to Three Book of Occult Philosophy  by Donald Tyson (Author)

The book "The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy: The Companion to Three Books of Occult Philosophy" by Donald Tyson is a fully annotated, corrected, and modernized edition of a mysterious work attributed to Henry Cornelius Agrippa and others. This companion book complements the classic "Three Books of Occult Philosophy," which is a fundamental text in Western magic. Tyson's edition makes this complex and historically significant work accessible to both novice practitioners and occult scholars by providing clear instruction and practical insight on various magical techniques. It serves as a working grimoire for contemporary magicians, offering guidance on a wide range of arcane practices.

This companion book is considered one of the cornerstones of Western magic and was originally published as six tracts in 1655. Tyson's work updates a facsimile edition by Stephen Skinner, enriching it with annotations and corrections that clarify the text and its applications.

For context, "The Three Books of Occult Philosophy" by Agrippa, which Tyson also edited and annotated in another volume, is a foundational western esoteric work, providing extensive magical lore, references to classical authorities, detailed explanations of spells, sigils, and the practical Kabbalah, making it a critical text in the history of occultism.
