Someone on the Natrel list mentioned Western Esotericism: A Brief History
of Secret Knowledge by him. I haven't bought it yet but I was thinking about
it. It's 18 pounds and I'd have to import it (Amazon.co.uk has it...) so I
was kind of wondering how good it was since I've never heard of the fellow
before.
