About This Item
Octavo, 184pp. Original dark blue pebble-grain cloth, spine and cover with gilt lettering, blue endpapers, top-edge stained blue. No bookplates or previous signs of ownership. A near-fine copy now mylar protected. With explanations of telepathy, clairvoyance, magical achievements of the subconscious, etc. First edition, first impression of the German chemist's attempt to formalize the scientific study of magic. Staudenmaier's experimentation with automatic writing and auditory and visual hallucinations intersected with the burgeoning psychoanalytic movement; Jung owned a copy of this work, and the hallucinations detailed within likely influenced his own visions as recorded in the "Black Books" and the "Red Book" between 1913 and 1930.
