    <![CDATA[This &quot;compendium of information on the occult sciences, occult personalities, psychic science, demonology, spiritism, and mysticism&quot; was one of a kind when it was first published in 1920 and is still considered the best in its field today.   Spence organizes a world's worth of magic  -- from &quot;Ab&quot; (a magical month in the ancient Semitic calendar) to &quot;Zulu witch-finders&quot; -- into 2,500 dictionary-style entries that explore concepts and personalities both familiar (Freemasonry, Morgan le Fay) and obscure: palingenesy (a process by which plants or vegetables are destroyed and then &quot;resurrected&quot;), Leonora Galigai (a 17th-century Italian aristocrat who was burned as a witch).   A delight for devotees of the weird and the strange, and a valuable resource for students of mythology and the evolution of scientific thought, this important volume is at home in the libraries of all book lovers.   Scottish journalist and folklorist LEWIS SPENCE (1874 -1955) was a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, and Vice-President of the Scottish Anthropological and Folklore Society. He published more than 40 works on mythology and the occult, including History of Atlantis, An Introduction to Mythology, and Myth and Ritual in Dance, Game and Rhyme.]]>

    <![CDATA[A renowned scholar of the Atlantis myth, Lewis Spence wrote five books on the fabled land, and this is considered by many to be his best work. Replete with the magic and romance of that fantastical lost land, this replica of the first 1926 edition includes all of the original maps, photos, charts, and illustrations, and discusses:  . the differences between Atlantean and other histories . why Plato's narrative of the realm was not allegorical . the numerous historical references to and proofs of the reality of Atlantis . the geography of Atlantis . the inhabitants of and early human society in Atlantis . the kings of Atlantis . corroboration of the existence of the realm in British literature . Atlantean culture, religion, and traditions . and much, much more.   Scottish occultist LEWIS SPENCE (1874-1955) was a fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, and vice president of the Scottish Anthropological and Folklore Society. He authored numerous books of mythology, folklore, and the occult, including The Occult Causes of the Present War (1940), and The Magic Arts in Celtic Britain (1945).]]>

    <![CDATA[The real interest of American medieval history must ever circle around Mexico and Peru, her golden empires, her sole exemplars of civilization; and it is to the books upon the character of these two nations that we must turn for a romantic interest as curious and as absorbing as that bound up in the history of Egypt or Assyria. Contents: civilization of Mexico; Mexican mythology; myths and legends of the ancient Mexicans; Mayan race and mythology; myths of the Maya; civilization of old Peru; and mythology of Peru.]]>
