Description
London's hidden history lies just beneath its official façade. This city has always been shrouded in mystery, with esoteric traditions and obscure institutions waiting to be uncovered. Occult London reveals the secrets of the city's occult past, from the Elizabethan magic of Dr. Dee and Simon Forman to the designs of Wren and Hawksmoor. The book also explores the Victorian era's fascination with Spring-Heeled Jack and the fin de siècle heyday of Madame Blavatsky and Aleister Crowley. A gazetteer maps the sites of London's most resonant occult locations, while the author examines the roots of a current revival of occult interest in the city.
