The Black Arts: A Concise History of Witchcraft, Demonology, Astrology, Alchemy, and Other Mystical Practices Throughout the Ages by Richard Cavendish

1.0

Some decent overall information on basic occult topics such as energy working (under another name), alchemy, astrology, negative-impact arts, and major male occult figures.
Somehow manages to almost completely erases women in occult history in an insulting fashion that detracts from any good info readers might glean from reading.

Probably only useful as mild reference material for views on negative magickal arts from the 1960's, when it was written.
