Эликсир и камень (L)

British historians and archaeologists Michael Baigent and Richard Lee, famous for their studies of historical "paradoxes", this time decided to plunge into the abyss of magic and alchemy in order to understand how interest in the occult, which has been debunked more than once over the centuries by the doctrines of scientific realism is gaining momentum again in the twenty-first century. How the traditions of Hermeticism, which originated in Alexandria two thousand years ago, are progressing in today's civilizational space, what fascinates in the voodoo religion, how the search for the elixir of immortality and the philosopher's stone ended, who are the modern Freemasons, what is the secret of the magic of rock music, who really is there were magicians and magicians, what is a "sacred landscape"? This is not a complete list of everything "occult", the veil over which the authors of the book open for readers.
