Wonders of Personal Magnetism and Hypnotism — New York Institute of Science (c. 1900)

Wonders of Personal Magnetism and Hypnotism belongs to the remarkable world of turn-of-the-century correspondence schools devoted to hypnotism, personal magnetism, will power, suggestion, and practical mental influence.

Built around the arresting declaration “Personal Magnetism Rules the World,” the booklet presents the period’s fascination with the trained gaze, magnetic personality, mental command, and the power of suggestion. Its imagery of radiating eyes surrounding an institutional headquarters captures the theatrical visual language used by early mail-order occult and psychological schools.

The work is closely associated with the New York Institute of Science and the publishing network behind X. La Motte Sage, Thomas F. Adkin, and related courses in hypnotism and personal influence.

This Holographic Pagan Press edition preserves the historic cover concept in a newly restored monochrome design and presents the work as part of the documentary history of personal magnetism and commercial occult education.

Each physical copy is printed, assembled, and finished by hand with a black tape-bound spine.

This is a newly prepared Holographic Pagan Press edition and not an original antique copy.
