In this book Ennemoser attempts to deal with animal magnetism, not as an isolated phenomenon, but as a reality, intimately connected with the essence of nature itself, and therefore with the mystical and religious awareness that springs from contact with nature. In doing this he attempts to counter superstitious beliefs that has come to be associated with magnetic phenomena, and also demonstrate to scientist that animal magnetism is a natural phenomenon. The book contains a section on the psychological explanation of magnetic phenomena that is noteworthy.
