About this listen

A monumental classic of occult scholarship, The Complete History of Magic by Joseph Ennemoser is now presented as a single, immersive audiobook experience. This unabridged edition combines both original volumes, tracing humanity’s enduring relationship with magic, mysticism, and esoteric knowledge from antiquity through the early modern world.

Written by the renowned 19th-century historian and physician, Ennemoser approaches magic not as superstition, but as a serious cultural, philosophical, and psychological force that shaped civilizations. Drawing on ancient sources, religious traditions, folklore, and early scientific thought, he explores subjects including ritual magic, astrology, alchemy, witchcraft, spiritual healing, and the mystical philosophies of Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Middle Ages, and Renaissance Europe.

Scholarly yet deeply engaging, this audiobook reveals how magic evolved alongside medicine, religion, and science—often blurring the boundaries between them. Ennemoser’s work remains one of the most comprehensive historical treatments of magic ever written, offering listeners both intellectual depth and a sense of wonder.

Perfect for students of esotericism, history, philosophy, psychology, and the occult, this AdultBrain audiobook delivers a rich, authoritative journey into the hidden currents that have shaped human belief for thousands of years.

Ideal for listeners interested in:

  • The history of magic and the occult
  • Ancient and medieval mysticism
  • Alchemy, astrology, and ritual traditions
  • The intersection of magic, religion, and early science
  • Classic esoteric and philosophical works

Step into a vast and fascinating intellectual landscape—where magic is not fantasy, but history.
