A timeline of occult traditions

Organized around 100 incidents, figures, and pieces of arcane knowledge, this illustrated history traces occult traditions across roughly two millennia. Its chronological scope connects subjects as varied as alchemy, Cabala, tarot, the Knights Templar, astrology, fortune-telling trials, pagan ritual, and the emergence of Wicca. Each entry is paired with an image or an item of ephemera, giving the reference format a visual and documentary element. The broad sweep makes the book a survey of changing occult practices and ideas, rather than a guide focused on a single tradition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking a chronological overview of occult history and traditions.
  • Those interested in alchemy, tarot, astrology, Wicca, and related subjects.
  • Readers who enjoy illustrated reference books featuring historical images and ephemera.
