Welcome Wayward Ones! This month we're deep diving into the rise of Occultism in Victorian society, one of Lu's favorite subjects to talk about! We'll be getting into mediums, seances, literature and the birth of spiritualism.
The Encyclopedia Britannica defines Occultism as “various theories and practices involving a belief in and knowledge or use of supernatural forces or beings” and describes the “aspects of occultism that appear to be common to all human societies (as) divination, witchcraft and alchemy…” while the latin root, occoltus, simply means “knowledge of the hidden.”
What better way to kick off the season! Make sure to like, subscribe and leave reviews; it means so much to us! Blessed be and remember, mind your cauldron!
