Most people who have studied occultism for more than a few years have heard of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. That's not surprising. Many people who were members of that society wrote books that have directly or indirectly influenced occultism for over 100 years.
But what about today? Are there no writers who will also influence occultism for decades to come? There certainly are, and you can read their words in the volumes of the Golden Dawn Journal, including "The Magical Pantheons. "Just as many members of the Golden Dawn in the past wrote books that have influenced generations, so, too, will the information in this book be a reference for and influence on occultists for years to come.
The book has articles by famous and high-powered occult authors such as Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero, Kisma K. Stepanich, Chris Zalewski, James A. Eshelman, John Michael Greer, and Donald Michael Kraig. There are other articles written by up-and-comers, too.
As the title suggests, this book looks at the pantheons of deities used in magick. Even if you're not involved in Golden Dawn magick, you're going to find something that will fascinate you. Subjects include everything from an examination of the god-names on the Tree of Life and missing parts of Aleister Crowley's "777" (originally a Golden Dawn manuscript), to why we should claim our Pagan polytheistic heritage and proof that the gods really do exist.
If you are one of the many people who are seeking more in-depth occult information, this is the book for you. Some of your favorite authors have taken this opportunity to really delve into intriguing topics that will have you thinking for years to come.
