- Notes:
Published in 1970, and written by a member of the Society of the Inner Light, this looks at 20th century magic from a rather different perspective than later books. Whilst the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn forms the central core of the book, Francis King explores the influences (such as Rosicrucianism and Eliphas Levi) that led up to it, figures like Dion Fortune and Aleister Crowley who diverged from it, and later movements like Gardnerian witchcraft.
