Magia Adamica Or The Antiquities Of Magic And The Descent Thereof From Adam Downwords Proved

By Thomas Vaughan

Book Overview

Magia Adamica is a book written by Thomas Vaughan, a Welsh philosopher and alchemist, that explores the history and origins of magic. The book argues that magic has its roots in the biblical figure Adam, and traces the descent of magical practices and knowledge from Adam through various historical figures and cultures. Vaughan draws on a range of sources, including ancient texts, mythology, and alchemical traditions, to support his thesis. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of magical history and practice. Topics covered include the role of angels and demons in magic, the use of talismans and amulets, and the relationship between magic and religion. Overall, Magia Adamica is a fascinating exploration of the history and philosophy of magic, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Magical Writings of Thomas Vaughan also known as Eugenius Philalethes, by Thomas Vaughan.
