The Magician's Tables - A Complete Book Of Correspondences

Postby Ant » Feb 13th, '10, 15:15



I just picked this up in a local Publishers Book Clearance, don't get too excited about finding any amazing new effects within this book but it does give an overview of many of the more secular beliefs which I thought many of you, myself included, may find useful when compiling routines and scripts for various mentalism presentations.

For those of you that work with the Tarot and do readings etc. I think this would be more useful to you than the "body language, NLP" group, but even then for the price (£3.99, usually £11.99 on Amazon or £16.99 retail) it could be a useful reference guide.

It covers various historical magic and beliefs, Egyptian, Kabbalah, Astrology. Also it looks quite "magical", hardback bound in purple, so as I said might be useful to some, not so useful to others.

Indeed, a secret worth keeping ... and only £2 each from the bookseller in town :)

When it describes itself as a book of correspondences, is this in the same way as Crowley's 777?

Basically, yes. Shallower than 777, but it covers a very wide range. A nice starter or sampler of occult symbolism, and nicely designed.

In a previous thread on the same subject, somebody suggested it could make an atmospheric prop for a book test. (Personal style permitting, of course.)
