The History of British Magick After Crowley


Evans, Dave: The History of British Magick After Crowley, Hidden Publishing, 2007

“There is a race of gnomes, so the story goes, who believe that nothing is possible, and there is a sect of magicians who believe that everything is.”

Based on the PhD of the author. Chapters on Chaos Magick, Kenneth Grant and Typhonian OTO, Lovecraft, Ramsey Dukes, AOS, LHP, Satanism, Amado Crowley, and Dennis Wheatley.
