I recently completed my MA in Western Esotericism at the University of Exeter and studied under Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke. He is the Director of the Exeter Centre for the Study of Esotericism (EXESESO) at the University of Exeter. This book is structured in the same fashion as the MA program at Exeter and provides a comprehensive overview of the key topics in the field of Western esotericism. The book is chronological and begins in ancient Alexandria, through the Italian Renaissance, post-Reformation Germany and into the Age of Enlightenment. Goodrick-Clarke covers complex topics such as Hermeticism, Neo-Platonism, Alchemy, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism and Theosophy but makes it understandable even to novice readers. The underlying theme behind the subject of Western esotericism is the continuity in the different schools of thought that can be traced though the two thousand period from ancient Alexandria to the present day. This is a subject that has been overlooked for many years due to its association with the occult and magic. Thanks to the work of Goodrick-Clarke and scholars such as Antoine Faivre and Wouter Hanegraaff it is now being given the respect it deserves. This is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in learning more.

A good overview

Format: Kindle

This book covers just about all of the key aspects and people you will find in Western mysticism. It will not give you anything new if you are already steeped in esoteric lore, but it can be a good review. Although I wish the author would have given an example or two of certain vague concepts (such as "correspondences"). I also did not care about the last chapter: It could have had a bit more critical sense concerning the supposed "scientific" evidence for New Age theories. Also, the author soberly reports equally the various theories of so many esotericists without any criticism. That is okay, but I cringe a bit when I think of the sometimes less than honest behavior of some these gurus of mysticism.

An informative survey of a neglected field

Format: Hardcover

Goodrick-Clarke provides an excellent overview of esoteric traditions in western religions, philosophies, and systems of thought. He begins in the Greco-Roman period, and ends at the modern New Age movement. In between Goodrick-Clarke takes the reader on a somewhat wild ride among diverse systems of theosophy, spiritual psychology, occult magic, metaphysical speculation, and more. For anyone unfamiliar with these trends, this book will be very informative. A wide base of material is presented in a readable and enjoyable manner.

It hits your heart in vulnerable and needed places.

Format: Paperback

I believe our greatest desire to be loved is fulfilled through being heard, seen and fully known. Oh how we long for that. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith knows this need in women’s lives and writes about it to encourage others because she has lived it. I love how she weaves Biblical truths with personal stories to create deep understanding and insight. But she doesn’t leave us there; she challenges us so gently, practically and wisely move into being fully known. Saundra is a master with words that draw us in to see ourselves in a beautiful and intimate relationship with our creator. The only ONE who truly knows us. Whether you’ve been a Christ follower for over 50 years or just discovering who Jesus is, this book will inject new hunger and depth into your spiritual soul.
