ABSTRACT
An invisible world hides behind the veil of matter; an intangible yet concrete reality as much as the objects that surround us, in which hidden forces and occult entities are hidden, which have always accompanied man. "Magic" is the term by which knowledge of this hidden realm is defined. But magic is not a purely theoretical wisdom. Magic is an art: a working knowledge aimed at understanding the invisible world to obtain effects on the visible world (and vice versa). In this form of knowing, it is not possible to separate knowledge, experience and practice. History and Practice of the Magical Arts is a history of magic that seeks to merge these three aspects of occult science, narrating the evolution of the magical arts and the description of the multiple practices that, since the most remote past, have allowed man to enter in contact with the hidden side of things and understand their laws. A journey that starts from shamanic roots and mystery rites, passing through Greek Theurgy, witchcraft and medieval Goetia, Judaic Solomonic magic, high Renaissance ceremonial magic, up to modern initiatory magic.
