A History of White Magic

Exploring the intersection of magic, science, and religion, this historical survey delves into the evolution of consciousness through various traditions, including ancient Mystery Religions, Alchemy, and Freemasonry. Gareth Knight presents magic as a tool for personal regeneration and spiritual fulfillment, utilizing Coleridge's theory of imagination to validate it as both science and art. The book aims to deconstruct and recycle historical systems, offering a fresh perspective on their significance and potential for re-ordering and re-configuring contemporary understanding.
