The Morning of the MagiciansFrom Wikipedia, the free
encyclopediaThe Morning of the Magicians, rstpublished as Le Matin
des magiciens, waswritten by Louis Pauwels and JacquesBergier in
1960. It became a best seller,rst in French, then translated
intoEnglish in 1963 as The Dawn of Magic,and later released in the
United States asThe Morning of the Magicians. A Germanedition was
published with the titleAufbruch ins dritte Jahrtausend(Departure
into the third Millennium).In a generalized and wide
rangingoverview of the occult, the bookspeculates on a variety of
Forteana,mysticism and conspiracy theories such assecret societies,
ancient prophecies,alchemical transmutation, a giant racethat once
ruled the Earth, and the NazcaLines.[1] It also includes
speculations suchas German occultism and supernaturalphenomena
conspiracy theory that theVril Society and the Thule Society
werethe philosophical precursors to the Naziparty.[2]The book has
been credited with playing asignicant role in bringing these kinds
of ideas into the popular culture, spurringa revival of interest in
the occult during the 1960s and '70s, and being aforerunner to the
popularization of New Age ideas.[3] In a 2004 article for
SkepticMagazine, Jason Colavito wrote that the book's tales of
ancient astronautspredated Erich von Dniken's works on the topic,
and that the ideas are so closeto the works of H. P. Lovecraft such
as "The Call of Cthulhu" or At the Mountainsof Madness (published
in 1928 and 1931 respectively) that Colavito claims it isprobable
that Lovecraft's ction directly inspired the book.[4] Notably short
onreferences or sources, the book has also come under
criticism.[1]
