Geschichte des Okkultismus

T. Wynne Griffon

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of the occult, exploring its roots, development, and impact on culture and society. Through a rich historical context, the book shows how the occult continues to shape spiritual and intellectual cu

Griffon begins by examining ancient beliefs, including the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Greek mystery traditions, which laid the foundation for later occult practices. Particular attention is paid to alchemy, astrology, and magic in the Middle Ages, where science, religion, and mysticism intertwined.

The author describes in detail the Renaissance flowering of occultism, with an emphasis on figures such as Paracelsus and John Dee, who combined scientific research with esoteric teachings. The book also explores the development of secret societies, such as the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons, and their role in spreading occult ideas. Griffon also examines modern occultism of the 19th and 20th centuries, including the theosophy of Helena Blavatsky, spiritualism, and the work of Aleister Crowley, whose controversial practices left a deep mark.

The book emphasizes how occultism has influenced art, literature, and philosophy, from Romanticism to contemporary esoteric movements. Griffon also analyzes the tensions between occultism and institutional religions, as well as scientific skepticism.
