Black Magic Notebook

Black Magic Notes

Renowned modern Japanese novelist and critic Tatsuhiko Shibusawa was deeply fascinated by demonology and the occult in the 1960s. This book represents his initial foray into the occult. This collection of over ten essays explores medieval European folklore and the occult, encompassing topics such as Kabbalah, Rosicrucianism, Tarot, alchemy, astrology, witchcraft, and the Black Mass. These essays are concise yet rich in content, drawing on much lesser-known historical texts, anecdotes, and legends. Within a seemingly loose framework, they offer a comprehensive and unpretentious account of the development of medieval witchcraft and its associated lore. The author demonstrates that the "black" nature of black magic, its history, and the perceived beliefs it fostered, were shaped by its interaction with the church and the people of medieval Europe.
