Magic, alchemy & hermetic thought; Mysticism, magic & ritual

An extraordinary exploration of the forgotten history of the esoteric and its unexpected possibilities in our time.

In these talks, written and presented to a variety of audiences between 2001 and 2010, John Michael Greer explores the forgotten history of occultism and its unexpected possibilities in our time.

From practical methods of occult training to the politics and metapolitics of magic, from the shadowy world of Victorian sex magic to the alchemy of initiatory ritual, from the complex origins of modern Neopaganism to the approaching twilight of Neopagan pop culture and what comes next, the talks collected in this book seek to inspire curiosity and reflection, not to set out an ironclad case for this or that point of view.

This book is an extraordinary insight into the life and work of a working magician and occultist.
