Hermetic magic
A crowned figure stands over a flaming vessel beneath a radiant sky, holding a long implement beside dark animal-like forms. The printed caption names Hermetic Magic. In The History of Magic the image belongs to Lévi’s presentation of occult traditions; the scene’s maker is not individually identified by the reproduced caption.
