An Encyclopaedia of Occultism
- An Encyclopaedia of Occultism
"An Encyclopaedia of Occultism" is an encyclopedia of occultism by Lewis Spence, published in 1920. As such, it should be in the public domain in the United States.
Compiled by Lewis Spence, a scholar of occult-related topics, it organizes a truly vast amount of information into 2,500 dictionary-style entries (many of which run to several pages). These entries encompass both familiar terms ("abracadabra," "poltergeist," "spells," "vampire") and more arcane topics ("Martian language," "bottle imps," "magic darts," "tinker's talk"). Numerous profiles of historical figures with ties to the occult include John Dee, Mary Baker Eddy, and Catherine de Medici.
