A Brief History of Magick February 25, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Do you think Wicca is a religion thousands of years old? Do you know about the connection between Freemasonry and the Golden Dawn and the Nazis? If you are interested in getting an overview of the history of magick, this is a good place to start. This fairly brief book (222 pages) provides an overview of many of the most influential persons and institutions of the western occult tradition. Some of the topics: Prehistoric and Ancient Magic, Dark Age and Medieval Magic, the Qabalah, the Church, Roger Bacon, Trithemius, Albertus Magnus, Agrippa, John Dee, the Rosicrucians and Freemasonry, Albert Pike, Cagliostro, Francis Barrett and "The Magus", Eliphas Levi, Madame Blavatsky, Westcott and Mathers and the whole Golden Dawn crew, Aleister Crowley, A.E. Waite (associated with the most popular form of the Tarot deck), Dion Fortune, Anton LaVey, Israel Regardie, magickal orders, occult Nazis, H.P. Lovecraft and more. It's not exhaustive, it's irreverant, and it will certainly introduce you to the historic cast of characters in the subculture of western magick.
