Ancient Magic, Magnetism and Psychic Forces — L. H. Anderson (1895)

Ancient Magic, Magnetism and Psychic Forces: The Key to Power is one of L. H. Anderson’s foundational works on occult power, personal magnetism, hypnotism, mesmerism, psychic development, and the cultivation of directed mental force.

Originally published in 1895, this substantial 223-page volume belongs to the body of late-nineteenth-century literature in which mesmerism, mental science, self-mastery, psychic research, and esoteric philosophy converged. Anderson presents magnetism and psychic force as practical capacities to be studied, cultivated, and consciously directed.

The work stands among Anderson’s most elusive titles and offers an unusually broad view of the ideas that informed his later writings on magnetism, hypnotism, personal influence, and occult development.

The Holographic Pagan Press edition has been newly prepared as a substantial handmade large-format volume. The historic brown cover design has been reproduced in its original-color character, paired with a black cloth tape-bound spine, while the interior preserves the period text in black and white.

Each HPP physical copy is printed, assembled, and finished by hand.

The Holographic Pagan Press edition is a newly prepared edition and not an original antique copy. The original 1895 book is offered separately as the collector-copy variant on this listing.
