Occultism: The Occult Sciences and the Occult Revival

Victorian Occultism and the Making of Modern Magic

Invoking Tradition

by Alison Butler

A historical study of how Victorian occultists, especially those of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, constructed a sense of tradition from older magical texts. Butler examines the role of manuscripts, Freemasonry and figures such as Frederick Hockley and Kenneth Mackenzie in shaping modern ceremonial magic.
