Was Guenon against occultism? Are there no more serious writers (i.e. before the 19th century)

About occultism?

>Mauss was born in Épinal, Vosges, to a Jewish family, his father a merchant

>>20975241
Yes, against occultism. Like from saints or church fathers.

>>20975252
Why have you heard of the Bible? The Desert Fathers? St. Austin? Albertus Magnus? St. Thomas Aquinas? Cotton Mather? The list is long.

>>20975246
The Jews are the greatest occultists.

>>20975236
Yes, but I moreso posted that chart for the inclusion of Father Seraphim Rose and for the overall systematic takedown of contemporary spiritual evil. I recommend Fr. Seraphim Rose and Fr. Spyridon Bailey because they are Orthodox priests who wrote books against occultism. As for older material, I don't know. I don't think that occultism was as much of a concern in the Orthodox world at that time seeing as how Freemasonry was and still is Anathema. I'll post a link to an in depth audio series in occultism from an Orthodox Christian perspective.

>The Desert Fathers?
Oh I didn't know they talk about the occult I thought it was mostly about monasticism where they don't run into occultists. I'll check out Magnus and Mather.

Honestly I tried to read Seraphim Rose a bit but it felt like the audience was Americans and his belligerent style didn't resonate with me. I like polemics but it felt like he was bordering on rants. But thanks for the course and maybe I should give more of a try to Seraphim Rose if he's the only one discussing occult in the ways that it manifests today. I assumed the occult didn't change much seeing that it's also an ancient tradition.

Np. Here's another chart I've seen posted here. Fr. Spyridon Bailey is in it and he also tackles occultism.

>>20975370
Thanks anon I shall start with the Desert Fathers then.

>Christian perspective?
Any number of Christian Grail/alchemy/kabbala material. Would start with Evola's Grail one and picrel.

>We review and recommend more than 80 books on occult, philosophical, scientific and religious subjects, many of which are almost completely unknown to either occultists or the general reader.
>We have not reviewed any books about black magic, witchcraft, the fantasies of conspiracy theorists or the speculations of psychics. If that's what you're looking for you won't find it here. If, on the other hand, you're looking for books that provide clear and plain answers to the many questions sincere seekers after Truth and Wisdom ask, you're in the right place.

Mysticism without religion

The foistening star of Satan, and Moloch, contra the fastening sun of Lucifer, and Lilith.

>>20975236
Occultism is a modern phenomenon kind of. Before we just had gnostics, witches, and muslims to worry about.
