About the author
Willy Schrodter writes within the German esoteric research tradition, producing reference works that draw together scattered and often hard-to-find primary sources on Western occultism. Commentaries on the Occult Philosophy of Agrippa serves as a guide to Cornelius Agrippa's sixteenth-century Three Books of Occult Philosophy, unpacking its sections on natural, celestial, and ceremonial magic for modern readers. A Rosicrucian Notebook: The Secret Sciences Used by Members of the Order compiles notes and excerpts from private and previously unpublished Rosicrucian sources, alongside material from authors whose original books are long out of print. Both titles, published by Weiser Books, function as scholarly compendiums rather than practical manuals, aimed at students of Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, and the history of Renaissance and early modern occult philosophy who want access to primary material otherwise difficult to locate.
