An edited anthology of thirty-seven primary texts from the Western esoteric tradition, arranged chronologically from the third century BCE to the mid-twentieth century. It gathers source documents across Hermeticism, Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Renaissance magic, theosophy and ritual magic — among them the Emerald Tablet, the Corpus Hermeticum, the Zohar and the Apocryphon of John, alongside Giordano Bruno, John Dee, Jacob Böhme, Emanuel Swedenborg, Eliphas Lévi, Helena Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, Rudolf Steiner, Dion Fortune and C. G. Jung. Pinchbeck contributes a general introduction, six section introductions, and a headnote to each text giving its author, significance and translation.
