The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish

I don't remember the specifics of the mental process, this was like 8 years ago. But it was some sort of manifestation technique, probably in the first half of the book

rad, thanks. I'm curious about magic. does he spell it with a k, like magick.

I can't tell if that's an affectation or if it means something different than "magic" since I haven't read any occult books on magic yet.

No just with a 'c'. He is a historian, and expert in occultism. He is not writing like a practicioner but like a theologist or a sort of religious studies. I was very interested in this at the time and even tried for a while to study religion at some uni courses but personal life got in the way. Anyways, it is an excellent book in that it will just present to you practice and belief from a non-indulgent perspective.
