Magic, the occult, the mystical-is there anything behind those words? If there is, is it anything beyond horror-movie clichés? People the world over have always known and interacted with these hidden forces. But in our culture, there is very little way to sort out truth from nonsense. In this series, Richard Smoley, an expert on the occult, delves into the world of mind power, magic, suggestion, and the realms of the unseen. He speaks simply and clearly, in common-sense terms, about these mysterious forces, how they can work for you, and what you need to avoid. Richard Smoley is editor of Quest: Journal of the Theosophical Society and former editor of Gnosis: A Guide to the Western Inner Traditions. He has published eleven books, including Hidden Wisdom: A Guide to the Western Inner Traditions: Inner Christianity: A Guide to the Esoteric Traditions; and Supernatural: Writings on an Unknown History.
