"The Magus: A Complete System of Occult Philosophy" is a handbook of the occult and ceremonial magic compiled by Francis Barrett and published in 1801. The book is divided into three parts, with the second part being the focus of this summary.
Book 2 of "The Magus" covers a wide range of topics related to the practice of magic and the occult. It includes information on magnetic powers, Cabalistic magic, the names of angels and spirits, the performing of invocations, conjuring spirits, magic circles, receiving oracles in dreams, positive and evil spirits, and concludes with a major biographical section on the great magicians of history.
The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the Western magical tradition and the study of ceremonial magic. It is considered one of the primary sources for the modern revival of magic, as it made information from otherwise rare books readily available.
It is worth noting that the book has been controversial in some circles. It has been identified as an influence on Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, in Reed C. Durham, Jr.'s speech "Is There No Help for the Widow's Son?".
Overall, "The Magus: A Complete System of Occult Philosophy" is a comprehensive guide to the practice of magic and the occult, and an important work in the history of Western esotericism..
