Agrippa · The Occult Philosophy
Book I · Notebook 1 of 7
Magic and the Four Elements
In 1510 a young scholar from Cologne sent the famous abbot Trithemius a manuscript on the hidden powers of nature. Printed in full in 1533, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa's "Three Books of Occult Philosophy" became the encyclopaedia of Renaissance magic — read by alchemists, doctors and astrologers, condemned by inquisitors, and copied by every occultist who came after.

About this book
This beautifully illustrated notebook is the first in a series that divides Agrippa's work by theme. It contains Book I, chapters 1–12: what magic is and what its practitioner must know, the four elements and their threefold nature, how the elements live in stars, spirits and the soul, and the "occult virtues" — powers like the lodestone's pull that no heat or cold can explain.
