Papus considers whether one person can exert an occult influence over another in this French-language study of enchantment. Historical accusations of sorcery lead into contemporary reports, newspaper controversies and experiments associated with hypnotism and suggestion.
The discussion brings together accounts involving practitioners, observers and people who believed themselves affected by hostile forces. Papus examines the intentions attributed to such practices and includes an illustrative consultation about revenge and prayer. The complete booklet retains its historical document plate and original argument.
