A visual feast of eclectic artwork informed and inspired by spiritual beliefs, magical techniques, mythology and otherworldly experiences.

From the beginning of human creativity itself, image-makers have been drawn to these unknown spheres and have created curious artworks that transcend time and place – but what is it that attracts artists to these magical realms?
From theosophy and kabbalah , to the zodiac and alchemy ; spiritualism and ceremonial magic , to the elements and sacred geometry – The Art of the Occult introduces major occult themes and showcases the artists who have been influenced and led by them. Discover the symbolic and mythical images of the Pre-Raphaelites ; the automatic drawing of Hilma af Klint and Madge Gill ; Leonora Carrington 's surrealist interpretation of myth , alchemy and kabbalah ; and much more.
Featuring prominent, marginalised and little-known artists , The Art of the Occult crosses mystical spheres in a bid to inspire and delight . Divided into thematic chapters (The Cosmos, Higher Beings, Practitioners), the book acts as an entertaining introduction to the art of mysticism – with essays examining each practice and over 175 artworks to discover.
The art of the occult has always existed in the margins but inspired the masses, and this book will spark curiosity in all fans of magic, mysticism and the mysterious .

Reviews for "Lavender: The Fragrant Way to Boost your Mood"
1. Samantha - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Magical Uses of Lavender". I was expecting a book filled with interesting and practical ways to use lavender in my everyday life, but instead, I found it to be a collection of vague and unsubstantiated claims. The author lacked any real scientific evidence to support their claims and it felt more like a book of superstitions rather than practical advice. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for genuine and helpful information about lavender.
2. David - 1 star - As someone who purchased "Magical Uses of Lavender" hoping to learn more about the potential health benefits of lavender, I was sorely disappointed. The book contained outdated and unverified information, with no references to back up any claims made. It seemed more like a collection of folklore and old wives' tales rather than any real scientific research. I found it to be a waste of my time and money.
3. Jessica - 2 stars - I really wanted to like "Magical Uses of Lavender", but I found it to be extremely repetitive and lacking in practical advice. The author spent too much time discussing the history and symbolism of lavender and not enough time giving useful tips on how to actually incorporate lavender into everyday life. Additionally, the writing style was dry and uninspiring, making it difficult to stay engaged. I was disappointed overall and would not recommend this book to others.
4. Michael - 1 star - "Magical Uses of Lavender" was a complete letdown. It promised to introduce me to a world of magical benefits of lavender, but all I found were baseless claims and pseudoscience. The author failed to provide any credible sources or evidence to support their claims, making me question the validity of everything mentioned in the book. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for accurate information about lavender's potential uses.
