OCCULT, literally means hidden - it is the knowledge of realms, energies, or abilities not recognized by the general public. The book examines OCCULTISM from a broad range of disciplines from Alchemy to Astrology, and from Divination to Occult practices. The Philosophers Stone is a mythic alchemical substance capable of turning base metals into gold. Alchemists also believed that an elixir of life could be derived from The Philosophers Stone. The book is primarily for those who are for the first time becoming energized by the numerous and often confusing possibilities underlying OCCULT SCIENCES. Esoteric Astrology is soul-centred astrology in order to reach on highest self, and with soul consciousness. The book also deals with beliefs, practices, and activities of esoteric occult described as mystical, psychical, magical, spiritual, and metaphysical. DIVINATION is among the earliest known human spiritual practices due to human natural desire to know the future, understand the present, and analyze the past. Whenever there are events that really shake the foundations of society, people absolutely turn towards the occult.
