This book is a Go-Large attempt at narrati-encyclopeading the occult space. It was well received in its day and still a ton of content. For occultists or historians, almost a classic work, with updated editions. If it's your first book about occult history, look up Mitch Horowitz; popular survey with American PoV. For an academic zing, find a copy of Phillips Jenkins; level-headed academic fellow published by Oxford U P.
