Greek Gods in Love

Stacy, Barbara

From the beginning of time, an obscure quality within the human spirit has sought benefactions from the three kingdoms of Earth--animal, vegetable, or mineral. Simple or complex, rare or commonplace, beautiful or awesome, all three share mysterious properties defined over the centuries by occult traditions. And it is from this bounty that we present a treasury of amulets, talismans, charms, and fetishes--the symbols of mysticism and magic from prehistoric time to the present.
