About this book
Can a colour carry the power of a star? Can a gaze bewitch? Can the flight of a bird or a clap of thunder foretell the future? This beautifully illustrated notebook is the fifth in a series that divides Agrippa's work by theme. It contains Book I, chapters 49–57: the power of light, colours and lamps and which colours belong to which stars, fascination by the eyes, observances believed to create wondrous powers, physiognomy, metoposcopy and palmistry, augury from birds and other animals, how omens were tested, signs from lightning and prodigies, and geomancy, hydromancy, aeromancy and pyromancy.
