These books are often read as authoritative by those interested in the occult even today.
Unlike many grimoires of the time, these books are more scholarly and intellectual than mysterious and foreboding.
In fact, Agrippa\'s interpretation of magic is similar to the authors Marsilio Ficino, Pico della Mirandola and Johann Reuchlin\'s synthesis of magic and religion, and emphasize an exploration of nature.
These arguments were common amongst other hermetic philosophers at the time and before.
The books outline the four elements, astrology, kabbalah, numbers, angels, God\'s names, the virtues and relationships with each other as well as methods of utilizing these relationships and laws in medicine, scrying, alchemy, ceremonies, origins of what are from the Hebrew, Greek and Chaldean context.
