I'm fascinated by the history and philosophy of occultism, think Aleister Crowley, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, esoteric symbolism, and its influence on Western thought. However, I'm not looking for a spellbook or a modern Wiccan guide.
I want a well-researched, academic-ish book that treats the subject seriously. Something like The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age by Frances Yates, or a deep dive into a specific tradition or figure. Any suggestions for a serious student of the history of ideas?
