Magic and Occultism of the Middle East

«Magic and Occultism of the Middle East» — is a profound study of the traditions of the region where prophets, mystics, and alchemists were born. At the crossroads of cultures, esoteric systems emerged here, where the fire of Zoroastrians intertwines with the mysteries of Sabians, the baptism of Mandaeans
— with the angelic names of Kabbalists, while Sufi zikrs connect with the magic of letters and numbers.
The book reveals a panorama of teachings and practices: from temples of fire and water to the stellar mysteries of Harran and Sufi tariqahs, from Yazidi shrines to Coptic papyri, from Druze and Alawites to Kabbalists of Safed. Here, the dualism of light and darkness intertwines with rituals of purification and incantations, magical squares and the alchemy of breath, the mystical geography of Jerusalem, Baghdad, and Cairo.
This is not a collection of legends, but the living breath of Eastern esotericism — its power, depth, and ability to connect the rational
and the mystical. Before the reader opens a world where magic
is not separated from faith, and secret knowledge is passed from heart
to heart, preserved through the centuries.
