The history of sorcery comes alive with these unique portraits of some of the most remarkable, infamous, and colorful practitioners of magic and alchemy. Join author Guy Ogilvy as he reveals the fascinating beliefs, techniques, and powers mastered by these influential figures. Beginning with the prehistoric culture of the Lion Man, continuing through the great mythical figures such as Orpheus, the pre-Socratic Greeks such as Pythagoras and Aristeas of Proconnesus, and following the trail up to the great alchemists of the Middle Ages and beyond, this book is a treasure trove of information. From antiquity to the Renaissance, The Great Wizards of History is a profound exploration of ideas and practices that were often contested or condemned even as they demonstrated the brilliant results of magical practice.
Guy Ogilvy is a practicing laboratory alchemist and the author of eight books, including The Alchemist's Kitchen (Bloomsbury), occasionally using the pseudonym Francis Melville. His books have been translated into more than twenty languages and have sold over 750,000 copies. Guy abandoned a promising career in publishing to pursue a personal quest that culminated in an 18-month stint as a cave-dwelling hermit in the mountains of Central North Mexico. Since his return, he has appeared on several television networks to share his expertise on esotericism and alchemy, including Channel 4 and the BBC. He lives in Glastonbury, United Kingdom.
