The Secret Book of the Black Arts: Containing all that Is Known upon the Occult Sciences of Daemonology, Spirit Rappings:Witchcraft, Sorcery, Astrology, Palmistry, Mind Reading, Spiritualism, Table Turning, Ghosts And Apparitions, Omens
[From the rest of the subtitle...] Lucky And Unlucky Signs And Days, Dreams, Charms, Divination, Second Sight, Mesmerism, Clairvoyance, Psychological Fascination, Etc. ...: Together With A Mass Of Other Matter, Giving Inner Views Of The Arts And Sciences, Whether Recondite And Obscure, Or Plain And Practical
From the PREFACE.
We need make no apology for introducing this book to the public. The subjects treated of are of so deeply interesting a nature that they have ever engaged, and ever will engage the attention of every thinking being. They are themes that never can be buried out of sight. They demand our close attention. We must face them all: willingly or unwillingly. Much of the vast amount of information to be found in the following pages has been diligently and laboriously culled from the great storehouse of facts accumulated by men who have devoted their time, energies and learning to prove, investigate, and explain the various deep and mystical beliefs and practices so universally and expressively designated the "Black Arts."
All those dark mysteries that have captivated the imaginations, stimulated the investigations, and often baffled the keenest intellectual acumen of both by-gone and modern philosophers are here revealed in all their naked truthfulness. The fleshy integuments are stripped away, and the skeleton itself revealed.
This book is written in the interest of no sect or party in religion or science. All the following subjects are treated of fully, fairly, candidly and exhaustively: Sorcery, Astrology, Mind-Reading, Midnight Apparitions, tho Churchyard Ghost, the Threatening Omen, the Unlucky Day, the Cattle-Charm, the Spell on the Living, the Second-Sight of the Highland Seer, the Clairvoyance of modern Times, the Table-Tippings. These, however, are but a very few of the subjects, described and discussed in these pages, There is no dodging any question how- ever enshrined by superstition, and no attacking of any belief simply because it is the belief of some confiding souls. Many of the most awful and terrible secrets are dealt with in a fearless but honest manner. The belief, for instance, in the visits of departed spirits to those still in the flesh is treated with that fairness and impartiality that should ever be accorded to the faith held by a large body of honest people. We have been forced to tear down many a rickety pile merely upheld by its antiquity and turned the calcium light of truth upon the scattering rats and bats of superstition. On the other hand we are compelled to admit that some secrets are too deep and profound to be explained satisfactorily by the sharpest human intellect.
But it must not be supposed that this book deals mainly with ideas and beliefs. Many practical, useful money-making Arts are fully described, and the proper manner in which to practice them clearly explained.
We commend this book, in all honesty, to every fearless soul who is willing to accept our guidance, and who is resolved to investigate for himself every subject that mortal man feels touches his pocket, his principles and his happiness.
