Faust's Magical Book of Forbidden Knowledge Not Fiction

Smith College Professor Joseph McVeigh, Ph.D. has successfully completed the first-ever English translation of one of the most important occult texts of all time, "Opus Mago-Cabbalisticum et Theosophicum." Written in the 1700s by alchemist Georg von Welling of Germany, the original text has been jealously revered for nearly 300 years by German esotericists.

Professor McVeigh has successfully transformed von Welling's strange and provocative text and dozens of famous alchemical, magical and occult illustrations into English for contemporary readers. "Opus Mago-Cabbalisticum" had an immediate and direct influence upon the secret work of the 18th century German society, the Golden Rosicrucians, whose work in turned inspired esoteric Freemasons in Great Britain including the founders of the most famous magical society of all time, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
