This book is part of the 
Western Esoteric Masters Series

The Western esoteric tradition has its roots in a
religious way of thinking, which reaches back to
Gnosticism, Hermeticism and Neo-Platonism in the
Hellenistic world during the first centuries AD. In
the Renaissance, the rediscovery of ancient texts led
to the scholarly revival of magic, astrology, alchemy
and Kabbalah. Following the Reformation, this
spiritual current later gave rise to theosophy,
Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry, while the modern
occult revival extends from nineteenth-century
spiritualism, H. P. Blavatsky's Theosophy and
ceremonial magical orders to Rudolf Steiner, C. G.
Jung and G. I. Gurdjieff. 

The Western Esoteric Masters Series presents concise
biographies of key figures in the tradition together
with anthologies of their writings. Ideal for
students, teachers and general readers, these books
form an expanding library of texts devoted to the
history of esotericism and the modern occult revival. 
To date, volumes on Paracelsus, John Dee, Jacob
Boehme, Robert Fludd, Emanuel Swedenborg, Helena
Petrovna Blavatsky and Rudolf Steiner are already
available or in preparation. 

Dr Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke is General Editor of the
Western Esoteric Masters Series. He has been
Vice-Chairman of Keston College, Oxford since 1992 and
is also Research Fellow in the Western Esoteric
Tradition at University of Wales Lampeter. He is the
author of Paracelsus and The Occult Roots of Nazism,
which has been translated into eight languages.
