Edited by Ralph Shirley, THE OCCULT REVIEW contained essays on all aspects of occultism, from alchemy to witchcraft; there was emphasis on magic, as many of its authors had been members of the Golden Dawn or its offshoots. Most of the eminent occultists of the period contributed to the journal, such as Frater Achad, Arthur Avalon, Annie Besant, Theodore Besterman, J.W. Brodie-Innes; Hereward Carrington, Mabel Collins, Aleister Crowley, Dion Fortune, Ada Goodrich-Freer; Franz Hartmann, D.D. Home, E.J. Langford Garstin; Michael Juste; William Kingsland, G.R.S. Mead; Sylvan J. Muldoon, Elliot O'Donnell, H. Stanley Redgrove, Sax Rohmer; Eduoard Schure, Lewis Spence, Meredith Starr, Montague Summers, and A.E. Waite. In most cases, these articles are the first appearance of their work. In addition to essays, poems, artwork, and illustrations, each issue typically contained the editor's 'Notes of the Month,' letters from the public, book reviews, and advertisements. This compiled volume contains such articles as: - The Great Symbols of the Tarot (A.E. Waite)- Mysticism and Occultism- The Black Arts- Mandrakes and Mummies (Lewis Spence)- Traditions of Atlantis in Great Britain (Lewis Spence)- The Greater Mystery: Passage of Matter Through Matter- The Dead Hand- A Theory of Twin Souls- Madame Blavatsky and "The Secret Doctrine"- The Deeper Issues of Occultism (Dion Fortune)- Some Evidential Clairvoyance (J.
