Occult London

This book explores a side of London that enthralls many — and that escapes the view of many more. Beyond the side of the city that people associate with British heritage and industry is a city full of esotericism, obscure traditions and institutions, and forgotten locations. The book shares the history of the occult side of London, unearthing the magic of Elizabethan and Victorian periods, the city that channeled the inspiration for the ideas of Aleister Crowley. This book shares the live of many of the occult practitioners that made their lives and crafts within the city, alongside the dark myths and legends about the urban area. The book also contains a geographic index, listing the most prominent occult locations to be found. The author also looks to the future and briefly shares his outlook on the roots of the current revival in occult interest and similar movements of the present.
