An article, which might be of interest to some readers, on the links between Anglo-Catholicism, Theosophy, and the Occult.

Fascinating!

Interesting, and not entirely surprising.

I have a Pet Theory about this but not enough energy/time to articulate it now.

Oh that was quite interesting. Thanks for linking it.

Haha, this is of personal interest to me and my, uh, collection of tarot decks...

I have found this to be really true: "Anglo-Catholicism and occultism both had a sense of ritual...and a sacramental world-view."

I should have read that before finishing my Yuletide story. (And I have no excuse, because I follow the CT Twitter feed.) Although perhaps it's as well that I didn't, because it would have sent me off doing more Research, and things were tight enough without that.

(Not Starbridge.)

Love of ritual will often lead to seeking out more ritual. But you have to wonder, would having the name Cosmo tend to make you think that cursing things might be something you could do effectively? If you name your kid after the universe, what are you asking to get?
