The Art of the Occult: A Visual Sourcebook for the Modern Mystic by S. Elizabeth

informative reflective medium-paced

4.25

I enjoyed the book as what it is — a thematic gathering of artworks inspired by, created from, and connected to the (largely European and American) occult. That being said, I do wish there were longer biographies of some of the included artists, as well as a discussion on the appropriation of Kabbalah by non-Jewish peoples in its associated chapter. Maybe that isn't the purview of a book focusing largely on aesthetics, but it would seem a worthy addition to me.
