Produced during the height of the mid-1970s counterculture revival, this dictionary serves as an authoritative bridge across centuries of hidden knowledge, offering clear, rationalist definitions for an expansive lexicon of supernatural terms, mystical associations, and esoteric philosophies.\n\nThe narrative scope of the text moves seamlessly through the histories of alchemy, spiritualism, witchcraft, astrology, and ancient eastern mysticism. Rather than offering mere brief footnotes, Day provides detailed contextual background on influential historical figures—from ancient mystics and medieval magicians to prominent 19th and 20th-century occultists like Aleister Crowley and Madame Blavatsky. Beautifully enhanced throughout by historical portraits, symbolic diagrams, and striking archival line art, this scarce 1975 first edition hardback, complete with its original well-preserved dust jacket, remains an invaluable reference copy for researchers of comparative religion, cultural historians, and dedicated collectors of classic metaphysical literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826078331099,"sku":"2026770000883-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1039fcd1-ce65-499a-926d-16b93391f57f.png?v=1780312188","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000883-secondhand-occult-illustrated-dictionary","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
