About this book
Bygone Beliefs by H. Stanley Redgrove bears the subtitle Being a Series of Excursions in the Byways of Thought. The account of alchemy describes metals as types of man, produced through male and female principles identified as mercury and sulphur, or spiritually as intelligence and love. The discussion describes the Grimoires as full of disgusting, absurd, and even criminal rites intended to satisfy unlawful desires and passions.
The discussion considers the Church justified in attempting to suppress magic, while judging the means adopted and their results even more abominable than witchcraft itself. Roger Bacon is credited with valuing accuracy, correct translation, correct quotation, and acknowledgment of sources.
