First published in 1903, The True Means to Force Love by Emmanuel-Napoléon Santini de Riols is a remarkable testimony of early 20th-century French occult literature. At a time when collections of secrets, popular grimoires, and works dedicated to occult sciences were experiencing a real boom, the author gathers a vast array of practices devoted to love, seduction, and emotional bonds. The book reflects the ideas of its era and today serves as a valuable document on European magical traditions.
More than two hundred love recipes and practices
Santini de Riols compiles an impressive body of recipes, talismans, potions, perfumes, amulets, and love techniques drawn from popular traditions, ancient grimoires, astrology, and occult sciences. Readers will discover over two hundred practices involving plants, stones, incense, planetary influences, astrological hours, magical preparations, and talismans. Far beyond a simple manual of love magic, this work offers a particularly rich overview of the methods once used to promote seduction, strengthen feelings, or attract the desired person.
A reissue of a classic of French occultism
This reissue allows rediscovery of a text that has become hard to find, faithful to the original 1903 edition. It is aimed both at collectors of old books and enthusiasts of the history of magic, folklore, and esoteric traditions. A true testimony of the magical thinking of its time, this book remains highly relevant for understanding the role love practices once held in occult literature.
