Christopher Partridge is a scholar of religion and popular culture, and this large edited reference volume, published by the academic press Routledge, brings together specialists to cover the full range of Western occultism, from historical ritual magic and Theosophy through to contemporary occult movements, each topic written by a scholar working on that specific area. Its strength is comprehensive scope achieved through genuine specialization rather than one author generalizing across an enormous and varied field. Because it is a multi contributor reference work, depth and interpretive approach vary by chapter and by which topic a given contributor covers. It is aimed at readers wanting a scholarly rather than a practitioner's introduction to any specific occult topic, with each chapter's own bibliography the place to go deeper.
