Occultism: Two Lectures Delivered in the Royal Institution on May 17 and 24, 1921 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book confronts widespread beliefs in Occultism and Spiritualism, concepts that have origins in the animistic conception of the world and provide a foundation for beliefs in the influence of spirits, and other supernatural phenomena. The author focuses on the early and modern manifestations of Occultism to reveal their ancient lineage, and to show the ways in which belief in them persists through the present day. Through analysis of specific cases, the book argues that these beliefs are grounded in our tendency to project our anxieties and wishes onto the world around us, rather than any rational evidence. This entertaining and thought-provoking book shows how, despite scientific advancement, the emotional and subconscious aspects of our minds still leave us vulnerable to the appeal of the occult.
