The Occult Philosophy.
Judicious Reader: This is true and sublime Occult Philosophy. To
understand the mysterious influences of the intellectual world upon the
celestial, and of both upon the terrestrial; and to know how to dispose and
fit ourselves so as to he capable of receiving the superior operations of
these worlds, whereby we may be enabled to operate wonderful things by a
natural power—to discover the secret counsels of men, to increase riches,
to overcome enemies, to procure the favor of men, to expel diseases, to preserve
health, to prolong life, to renew youth, to foretell future events, to
see and know things done many miles off, and such like as these. These
things may seem incredible, yet read but the ensuing treatise and thou
Shalt see the possibility confirmed both by reason and example.
—J. F., the translator of the English edition of 1651.
