No just with a ‘c’. He is a historian, and expert in occultism. He is not writing like a practicioner but like a theologist or a sort of religious studies. I was very interested in this at the time and even tried for a while to study religion at some uni courses but personal life got in the way. Anyways, it is an excellent book in that it will just present to you practice and belief from a non-indulgent perspective.
rad, thanks. I’m curious about magic. does he spell it with a k, like magick.
I can’t tell if that’s an affectation or if it means something different than “magic” since I haven’t read any occult books on magic yet.

‘magick’ was used by the Golden Dawn (including Alaister Crowley and MacGregor Mathers etc), and others to differentiate from stage magic.
