Bio for Humberto Maggi

In Humberto Maggi’s work, we find the struggle between the trained scientific mind and the magician’s yearning for the supernatural, the daemonic experience, and an ecstatic awakening, which is the key feature of the writer’s endeavors. For more than thirty years, he has dug deeply into the textbooks of magic and into the layers of his own psyche, showing throughout these essays a profound grasp of both the esoteric literature of magic and the subtle nature of our relationship to the spirits.
