El mago, figura legendaria de poderes sobrehumanos, es uno de los principales arquetipos del mito y la religión de muchas culturas. Tras fijar sus orígines antropológicos en antiguos rituales llevados a cabo por un chamán o un brujo para asegurar la prosperidad de su tribu, E. M. Butler analiza su posterior desarrollo en los filósofos religiosos y místicos precristianos, en los hechiceros y alquimistas medievales y, finalmente, en el renacimiento esotérico de los siglos XVIII y XIX.
