Book Description
By the end of the nineteenth century, Victorians were seeking rational explanations for the world in which they lived. The radical ideas of Charles Darwin had shaken traditional religious beliefs. Sigmund Freud was developing his innovative models of the conscious and unconscious mind. And anthropologist James George Frazer was subjecting magic, myth, and ritual to systematic inquiry. Why, then, in this quintessentially modern moment, did late-Victorian and Edwardian men and women become absorbed by metaphysical quests, heterodox spiritual encounters, and occult experimentation? In answering this question for the first time, The Place of Enchantment breaks new ground in its consideration of the role of occultism in British culture prior to World War I. Rescuing occultism from its status as an "irrational indulgence" and situating it at the center of British intellectual life, Owen argues that an involvement with the occult was a leitmotif of the intellectual avant-garde. Carefully placing a serious engagement with esotericism squarely alongside revolutionary understandings of rationality and consciousness, Owen demonstrates how a newly psychologized magic operated in conjunction with the developing patterns of modern life. She details such fascinating examples of occult practice as the sex magic of Aleister Crowley, the pharmacological experimentation of W. B. Yeats, and complex forms of astral clairvoyance as taught in secret and hierarchical magical societies like the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Through a remarkable blend of theoretical discussion and intellectual history, Owen has produced a work that moves far beyond a consideration of occultists and their world. Bearing directly on our understanding of modernity, her conclusions will force us to rethink the place of the irrational in modern culture. “An intelligent, well-argued and richly detailed work of cultural history that offers a substantial contribution to our understanding of Britain.”—Nick Freeman, Washington Times

Book Description
For the first time, this remarkable work is reproduced with the original watercoloured prints from the 1785-1788 German edition alongside the English translation published by AMORC, for ease of study and reference. The three Rosicrucian manifestos are also included with the addition of the Speculum Sophicum, a valuable supplementary work.The mysterious Brothers of the Rosy Cross first appeared in Germany, 1614 with the publication of a pamphlet, Fama Fraternitatis, which quickly generated widespread curiosity throughout Europe. Claiming to be a Christian brotherhood possessing the secrets of Alchemy, they remained elusive and entirely invisible to the public. In spite of this their spiritual ideals of reformation influenced the early 17th century period profoundly enough to entitle it 'the Rosicrucian enlightenment'. Over 170 years later, Secret Symbols was published in Hamburg by the Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross, revealing both the practical and spiritual aspects of the Great Work. Partly hidden in symbol and cabalistic cipher, their teachings are presented in this book through mystical illustration and poetic depictions of Hermetic/Paracelsian philosophy. “Half a century before the term ‘Rosicrucian’ came into use the sixteenth-century Provençal astrologer and soothsayer, Nostradamus, wrote:A new sect of Philosophers shall rise,Despising death, gold, honours and riches,They shall be near the mountains of Germany,They shall have abundance of others to support and follow them.In this quatrain, written in about 1555, Nostradamus seems to have made a strikingly accurate prediction of the Rosicrucian brotherhood as described by its followers. Starting in Germany in the early part of the seventeenth century, this ‘new sect of philosophers’ shunned worldly satisfactions in favour of spiritual ones and were said to have conquered death through the elixir of life."- The Rosy Cross Unveiled, by C. McIntosh
