Summary

Regarded today as the father of modern medicine, Paracelsus (1493-1541) was in fact much more besides. Natural scientist, philosopher, alchemist, with a deep distrust of orthodoxy and rational thought, he intermixed Christian theology with the Qabalah, believing that magic reveals the invisible influences behind things, bringing heavenly forces down to earth.

Author Biography

Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke was educated at Lancing College and the University of Bristol. He gained his Doctorate of Philosophy at Oxford for a thesis in German history, subsequently published as The Occult Roots of Nazism. He is Series Editor of the Essential Readings.
