London, more than any other city, has a secret history concealed
from view. Behind the official facade promoted by the heritage
industry, lies a city of esoteric traditions, obscure institutions,
and forgotten locations. Occult London rediscovers this history,
unearthing the hidden city that lies beneath our own. From the
Elizabethan magic of Dr Dee and Simon Forman, to the occult designs
of Wren and Hawksmoor; from the Victorian London of Spring-Heeled
Jack, to the fin de siecle heyday of Madame Blavatsky and Aleister
Crowley. This book describes these practitioners of the occult and
their unorthodox beliefs, alongside the myths and legends through
which the city has always been perceived. The role of the occult
within London's literary history is also outlined, while a
gazetteer maps the sites of London's most resonant occult
locations. Today we are experiencing a renewal of interest in the
occult tradition, and Merlin Coverley examines the roots of this
revival, exploring the rise of New Age philosophies and the
emergence of psychogeography in shaping a new vision of the city.
