A Pictorial Anthology of Witchcraft, Magic and Alchemy — Grillot de Givry | Hardcover

376 images. Centuries of hidden knowledge. One essential volume.

Grillot de Givry’s Pictorial Anthology of Witchcraft, Magic and Alchemy is unlike any other book in the esoteric canon. Where others describe the rituals, symbols, and practices of the Western occult tradition, this one shows them — through woodcuts, engravings, and etchings drawn from across the centuries. Translated into English by Courtenay Locke, the images are accompanied by detailed historical context and explanation, making this both a visual archive and a scholarly reference.

Herbs and potions, divination, astrology, the summoning of spirits, the persecution of witches, the evolution of magical practice — all of it rendered in 376 illustrations that speak across time. A facsimile reprint of the original, with the patina of age intact.
