Mysteries - Book Review

My review of the book Mysteries by Colin Wilson pub. Watkins Publishing Co. 2020. This is a reissue of earlier printings of this book with a new foreword by Colin Stanley.

Mysteries is the powerful and enlightening sequel to The Occult, continuing Colin Wilson's investigations into the paranormal, the occult and the supernatural.

Colin Wilson (1931-2013) was the highly respected and erudite author of more than 100 books.

A renowned expert on the subject of occultism, Colin Wilson’s sequel to his masterwork, The Occult, is “a major work” in its own right.
In The Mysteries, Wilson continues his the investigation into magic, the paranormal, and the supernatural through extensive research as well as his own extraordinary first-hand experiences. The result is “an extraordinary tour de force” of scholarship (New Science).

Wilson presents detailed studies of hauntings, hypnosis, as well as magic, the Kabbalah, and astrology. At the heart of his work is a fascinating discussion of the Great Secret of the alchemists.
