The Occult Book: A Chronological Journey from Alchemy to Wicca by John Michael Greer offers a succinct and engaging exploration of the history of the occult, spanning over two millennia. The book is structured chronologically, covering around 100 key events, figures, and developments, starting from the ancient Greeks like Pythagoras and moving through the medieval and Renaissance periods, up to modern traditions like Wicca and contemporary paganism.
Greer highlights notable moments such as the rise of alchemy, the philosophy of hermeticism, the appearance of the Knights Templar, the development of tarot, and key figures like Marie Laveau and Gerald Gardener. The book also delves into lesser-known historical personalities and events that contributed to the occult tradition.
While the book is not an exhaustive encyclopedic resource, it serves as a well-laid-out introduction to the subject with striking visual elements. It reflects Greer's background as a respected scholar and practitioner, integrating his expertise on druidry, ceremonial magic, and astrology. The narrative balances accessibility for newcomers with insightful details appreciated by those familiar with occult topics.
The book concludes its historical journey around 2012, intentionally avoiding focus on currently living occult figures. It is recommended for readers seeking an informative, broad overview of occult history crafted in an accessible, chronological format.
