On Thursday September 27th, 2018 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review the new Collector's edition of Kurt Seligmann's 1948 classic "The Mirror of Magic: A History of Magic in the Western World" and discuss Seligmann's career as a surrealist painter, a scholar of the occult and a practicing ceremonial magician. This handsome new edition, published by Inner Traditions, is a faithful reproduction of the original. Poke Runyon inherited a 1948 copy Seligmann's book from his late Master Frederick Adams (1928 - 2008) with Fred's annotations. It was Fred's first book on Magic and he treasured it. In his Introduction Seligmann wrote: "As an artist I was concerned with the aesthetic value of Magic and its influence on man's creative imagination." Fred Adams was also a very talented artist and was inspired by The Mirror of Magic, as we hope a new generation of readers will be when they discover this beautiful new edition of Kurt Seligmann's Masterpiece.
