Francis Barrett’s The Magus is a foundational English-language compendium of occult philosophy, bringing together material on ceremonial magic, Kabbalah, alchemy, astrology, and related arts. Published in the early 19th century but drawing heavily on earlier sources, it became highly influential for later occultists; readers will find rituals, correspondences, magical theory, and extensive excerpts from earlier authorities.
