"The encyclopedic work surveys a wide variety of supernatural phenomena, ranging from the cosmogonies of the earliest mythmakers to the esoteric practices of present-day gurus. Analyzing a multiplicity of myuths, legends, cults and mysterious occurences, it leads the reader beyond the confines of history, psychology and religion into the inner depths of the human personality and the outer reaches of the imagination. It incorporates the myriad results of man's fascination with the unknown, his insatiable thirst for knowledge, and his attempts through symbolism to link the finite and infinite. A handy reference for the scholar, it is an indispensable vade mecum for all those who approach the Age of Aquarius with an open mind." --Jacket. // Spirituality, reference, occult, symbols, alchemy, esotericism
