Books with title Magic and Magicians

In a secret world of forbidden knowledge, power comes at a terrible price...Quentin Coldwater's life is changed forever by an apparently chance encounter: when he turns up for his entrance interview to Princeton he finds his interviewer dead - but a strange envelope bearing Quentin's name leads him down a very different path to any he'd ever imagined. The envelope, and the mysterious manuscript it contains, leads to a secret world of obsession and privilege, a world of freedom and power and, for a while, it's a world that seems to answer all Quentin's desires. But the idyll cannot last - and when it's finally shattered, Quentin is drawn into something darker and far more dangerous than anything he could ever have expected...

At the very heart of the Ancient Mysteries of the World sits the Great Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh. In astrology, where even a constellation bears the name of our Great Bear, in Alchemy, and in the deeper secrets of Hermetism, in Druidism, in the Qabalah and in the interpretation of Tarot, Winnie-the-Pooh is master of every branch of ancient lore. We can now proclaim that Pooh is not only a Bear of Enormous Brain, but also Supreme Magus of the Second Millennium.
