Anyone who wants to obtain a general idea of the amazing knowledge of Agrippa, this contemporary of Paracelsus, without having to study his work in its entirety, can hardly do better than to read Willy Schrodter's introduction to and commentary on the main points of Agrippa's wide ranging philosophy. Commentaries on the Occult Philosophy of Agrippa contains Schrodter's meticulous and authoritative notes on the three classic works of Agrippa -- Natural Magic, Celestial Magic, and Ceremonial Magic. The subjects of these definitive texts include: the healing instincts of animals, the doctrine of signatures, alchemy, telepathy, pranic nourishment, music therapy, fire magic, gem magic, dreamwork, out-of-body experiences, angels, near death experiences, and soul travel. At first sight, these themes may look as jumbled as a mosaic seen up close, yet viewed from the correct distance, form a meaningful picture that reveals the hidden connections of all things. Schrodter's detailed notes provide just such a distance! Although Agrippa makes some unlikely-sounding statements, Schrodter sets them in true light -- not only does he make them understandable, but he also provides scientific confirmation from carefully documented, parallel cases. We might go as far as to say that Schrodter's illuminating examples, taken from the most varied fields of research, are what constitute the real value of this compilation.
