How does the soul relate to the body? Through the ages, innumerable
religious and intellectual movements have proposed answers to this
question. Many have gravitated to the notion of the "subtle body,"
positing some sort of subtle entity that is neither soul nor body,
but some mixture of the two. Simon Cox traces the history of this
idea from the late Roman Empire to the present day, touching on how
philosophers, wizards, scholars, occultists, psychologists, and
mystics have engaged with the idea over the past two thousand
years. This study is an intellectual history of the subtle body
concept from its origins in late antiquity through the Renaissance
into the Euro-American counterculture of the 1960's and 70's. It
begins with a prehistory of the idea, rooted as it is in
third-century Neoplatonism. It then proceeds to the signifier
"subtle body" in its earliest English uses amongst the Cambridge
Platonists. After that, it looks forward to those Orientalist
fathers of Indology, who, in their earliest translations of
Sanskrit philosophy relied heavily on the Cambridge Platonist
lexicon, and thereby brought Indian philosophy into what had
hitherto been a distinctly platonic discourse. At this point, the
story takes a little reflexive stroll into the source of the
author's own interest in this strange concept, looking at Helena
Blavatsky and the Theosophical import, expression, and
popularization of the concept. Cox then zeroes in on Aleister
Crowley, focusing on the subtle body in fin de siecle occultism.
Finally, he turns to Carl Jung, his colleague Frederic Spiegelberg,
and the popularization of the idea of the subtle body in the
Euro-American counterculture. This book is for anyone interested in
yogic, somatic, or energetic practices, and will be very useful to
scholars and area specialists who rely on this term in dealing with
Hindu, Daoist, and Buddhist texts.

This compelling reference work introduces the religions of Voodoo,
a onetime faith of the Mississippi River Valley, and Vodou, a
Haitian faith with millions of adherents today. Unlike its
fictional depiction in zombie films and popular culture, Voodoo is
a full-fledged religion with a pantheon of deities, a priesthood,
and communities of believers. Drawing from the expertise of
contemporary practitioners, this encyclopedia presents the history,
culture, and religion of Haitian Vodou and Mississippi Valley
Voodoo. Though based primarily in these two regions, the reference
looks at Voodoo across several cultures and delves into related
religions, including African Vodu, African Diasporic Religions, and
magical practices like hoodoo. Through roughly 150 alphabetical
entries, the work describes various aspects of Voodoo in Louisiana
and Haiti, covering topics such as important places, traditions,
rituals, and items used in ceremonies. Contributions from scholars
in the field provide a comprehensive overview of the subject from
various perspectives and address the deities and ceremonial acts.
The book features an extensive collection of primary sources and a
selected, general bibliography of print and electronic resources.
