Description

A sweeping historical exploration of modern occultism, from astrology and alchemy to witchcraft and spiritual revolutions, is presented by Mitch Horowitz in this lively and intellectually serious work. Horowitz explores the preservation of "hidden wisdom" in late-ancient Hermeticism, the rebirth of esoterica during the Renaissance, and the rise of modern secret societies such as Rosicrucians and Freemasons. He also delves into the migration of religious radicalism to the New World, the wave of occultism ignited by John Dee and other influential figures, and the growth of New Thought and mind metaphysics. This book offers a full-circle history of modern occultism, shedding light on surprising influences on wide-ranging icons such as Frederick Douglass, Sigmund Freud, and Isaac Newton.
