This blog will be used to keep people who are interested in my work updated on my research. I will also occasionally post videos, pictures, and links to websites of interest.

New Publication: The British Birth of the Occult Revival, 1869-1875
In February 2016, I posted online a paper I had written a few years earlier but had failed to get published. For whatever reason, the journal that I had submitted it to either lost the paper or it was simply ignored. In any case, apparently word about the paper spread and last summer I was contacted by a member of the Scottish Rite Research Society, a group of Freemasonic researchers, who requested to publish the article in their annual journal, Heredom. That journal has just been published, and I am extremely pleased to say that for my article the editor, Brent Morris, went out of his way to dig up several photographs--some of which are very hard to find--of the prominent 19th-century Masons and occultists who are discussed in the piece, including John Yarker, F.G. Irwin, Robert Wentworth Little, W.W. Westcott, and others. If you're interested in seeing faces to go along with the names, I encourage you to pick up a copy.
