| Summary | "Der Occultismus des Altertums" by Karl Kiesewetter is a scholarly exploration of ancient occult practices, likely written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the beliefs, rituals, and magical systems of various ancient civilizations, including the Akkadians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, and Assyrians, establishing a historical context for the development of occultism. The book likely appeals to readers interested in the intersection of history, religion, and mysticism and seeks to uncover how these ancient practices influenced contemporary understandings of the occult. The opening of "Der Occultismus des Altertums" sets the stage for a deep investigation into the occult traditions of the ancient Akkadians. It introduces the topic by stating that occultism is as old as humanity itself and outlines its persistence through different religions over time. The text references significant archaeological findings, such as the fragments of magical texts from the library of Niniveh, which demonstrate the complexity of Akkadian demonic beliefs and magics, including their understanding of the relationship between illness, divine intervention, and supernatural entities. This section highlights not only the historical significance of these practices but also their continuous evolution and relevance in the study of religious and mystical traditions.
