Weiser Antiquarian Books is happy to offer a significant collection of issues of The Occult Review. This, the first of several catalogs devoted to the journal, comprises a selection of bound and disbound volumes of The Occult Review. For the first three decades of its publication The Occult Review was issued as a monthly, although for much of that period the publishers also produced a bi-annual, hardbound edition, each of which contained the six issues that had come out in the preceding half-year. These hardbound volumes were usually issued in green cloth, and often, but not always, had the elaborate gilt tooling on the front board shown in the photograph to the left.

For various reasons - most likely because they preferred to buy their issues 'hot off the presses' as they came out, rather than waiting up to six months to obtain a bound set - some people would purchase the soft-cover issues and then have them privately bound-up as hardcovers. The volumes of the The Occult Review that make up the first section of this catalog are a mixture of those in the publisher's original cloth (described in the listing as "Original gilt decorated green cloth") and those that have been privately rebound. While most of the privately bound sets contained the same sequence of six issues as those that were bound by the publishers, this was not always so: and some only have four or five or issues, or contain mixed groupings, so it is important to read the listings carefully.

Amongst the privately-bound volumes on offer are a number that are presented in a uniform maroon cloth. These are all from the collection of Leslie Shepard (1917-2004), the London-born professional writer and book collector who was for a time the London Editor for University Books, New York. During a long and varied career, Shepard wrote forewords, prefaces and introductions to more than 70 books, and edited a number of well known works including The Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology (1978), Living with Kundalini: the Autobiography of Gopi Krishna (1993) and Dracula: Celebrating 100 Years (1997).

The second part of the catalog comprises disbound copies of The Occult Review. These are copies of the journal that had had the wrappers removed in preparation for binding in cloth, but that for reasons unknown never actually had the cloth casing put onto them. As such they are essentially groups of sewn leaves. They include a number of important issues, containing works by Dion Fortune and others, and whilst not particularly attractive these provide an opportunity to purchase reading copies of the texts at a price considerably lower than would usually be the case.

Aside from the value of the individual articles and letters, the issues of The Occult Review, provide a fascinating cameo of the contemporary interests of many well-known occultists, and the ways in which they interacted with one another. Some of the articles are at once serious and amusing: a piece in the May 1906 issue sparked quite a debate as to why it would be that ghosts apparently tended to manifest clothed, rather than naked. Some idea of the diversity of the essays can be gathered from the following random selection (chosen on no other basis than that they seemed interesting or quirky to the cataloger):

"The Life of the Mystic" by A. E. Waite, "The Gnostic Revival" by C. G. Harrison, "Witchcraft in Germany (contemporary Bavarian)" by Franz Hartmann, "Last Hours of a Mediaeval Occultist" by Isabelle de Steiger, "Records of the Apparitions of Animals After Death" by various authors, "Maori Magic" by Reginald Hodder, "Some Aspects of the Graal Legend" by Arthur Edward Waite, "Visions Induced by an Oriental Powder" by L. Still, "Satanism & the Black Mass" by S.R., "The Vampire Legend" by Alfred Fellows, "The Tetrad, or the Structure of the Mind" by Florence Farr, "The Pictorial Symbols of Alchemy" by Arthur Edward Waite, "Fratres Lucis" by Meredith Starr, "Witches' Unguents" by Arthur Gay, "The Horoscope of the Titanic" by A. J. Pearce, "The Dervishes: Their Customs and Beliefs" by H. Stanley Redgrove, "Does Egyptian Magic Still Exist?" by Mrs Frank Currer Jones, "Was Blake ever in Bedlam?" by W. T. Horton, "Cats and the Unknown" by Elliott O'Donnell, "Dr Rudolf Steiner on Human Evolution," by Mabel Collins, "The Fairy Faith in Ireland," by Vere D. Shortt, "Welsh Witches and Wizards," by M. L. Lewes, "The Grand Arcanum of Death," by Eliphas Levi, "Angels," by William Wynn Westcott, "Psychic Photography," by Hereward Carrington, "Some Dangerous Apparitions," by Philip Macleod, "The Psychic Significance of the Horse & Dog," by Ethel C. Hargrove, "The Moon in Magic & Religion," by Bernard Fielding, "Witch-Cats in Scotland," by W. N. Neill, "Authority and Obedience in Occultism," by Dion Fortune, and "The Kabbalah and Word-Magic," by H. Stanley Redgrove.

The advertisements, some of which are reproduced in this catalog, also give testament to the breadth and vitality of the occult movement at the time, and the wide variety of publications, events and societies then available (many readers will doubtless look longingly at the depiction of the Library of "The Occult Club.") Please note that the advertisements shown here have been selected randomly, and do not necessarily appear in the issues beside which they are shown. All are, however, from issues offered for sale in this catalog.

Another catalogue - to be released shortly - will comprise a selection of numbers of The Occult Review as-issued in their original wrappers.

As usual we have a variety of other catalogs in preparation. At the moment we are not sure of their order of appearance, but we are presently working on another of our special lists on Magick and the Occult Review (Part II) catalog. Future catalogs will be devoted to Alchemy & Hermetica, Astrology, Mythology, Spiritualism (Part III) , Theosophy, John Dee, Grimoires, and other of our specialties. Of course we will also continue to regularly issue our Aleister Crowley catalogs.

A Note on the History of The Occult Review.

The Occult Review was published between 1905 and 1952, and in its heyday was without doubt the most influential journal of its type, with articles, reviews and correspondence by many of the most famous occultists and writers on esoteric subjects of time. These included more than a few important figures associated with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its offshoots, amongst whom: Edward W. Berridge, J. W. Brodie-Innes, Algernon Blackwood, Florence Farr, Dion Fortune, E. J. Langford Garstin, Isabelle de Steiger, A. E. Waite, and William Wynn Westcott, as well as that Order's enfant terrible Aleister Crowley and a number of his associates: Frater Achad, Ethel Archer, J. F. C. Fuller, Israel Regardie, and Meredith Starr. Other well known authors who contributed to The Occult Review included Meher Baba, Annie Besant, Paul Brunton, Hereward Carrington, Mabel Collins, W. B. Crow, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Franz Hartmann, H. Hensoldt, Aldous Huxley, William Kingsland, G.R.S. Mead, Sylvan J. Muldoon, H. Stanley Redgrove, Lewis Spence, and Alan W. Watts, to name but a few.

The subjects that the The Occult Review covered were every bit as varied as its authors: they included Alchemy, Astral Projection, Astrology, Automatic Writing, Clairvoyance, Demonology, Dreams, Druidism, Eastern Religions, Fairy-Lore, Folk-Lore, Freemasonry, Ghosts, Gnosticism, Magic, Hypnosis, Kabbalah, Mythology, Poltergeists, Prophecy, Psychical Research, Mysticism, Rosicrucianism, Seership, Spiritualism, Swedenborgianism, Symbolism, Tarot, Telepathy Theosophy, Vampires, Werewolves, Witchcraft, and many others.

The first issue of The Occult Review was published in London by William Rider and Son, in January 1905. The driving force behind the publication was Ralph Shirley (1865-1946), the long-time director of Rider, who would serve as Editor of the journal for some twenty years. Rider were of course the leading British publishers of occult literature, and it was no surprise that Shirley, who had a strong personal interest in the occult - particularly in astrology, psychical research, and spiritualism - was able to persuade many "Rider Authors," and probably many who aspired to be "Rider Authors," to contribute to the journal.

The Occult Review underwent a variety of metamorphoses during its near fifty-year history. For the first few decades of its life it appeared as a monthly, in the now-familiar orange wrappers, with a handsome hardcover edition, bound up from the wrappered issues of the preceding six months, produced biannually. For a time the journal clearly prospered, and from 1907 onwards an American edition was published, with distribution handled by agents in New York. The U.S. edition basically comprised the contents of the previous month's British issue (a practice that has caused considerable confusion to those trying to trace particular articles), and was otherwise all but indistinguishable from the British edition, save for the price on the the front wrapper being given in cents rather than shillings and pence. From around 1910 onwards the U.S. edition was given its own blue wrappers in place of the orange of the British edition, but otherwise nothing changed.

The retirement of Ralph Shirley, a general post-First World War decline in interest in the occult, and then the Great Depression combined to bring troubled times to The Occult Review. The special U.S. edition was scrapped, and perhaps in hopes of broadening the journal's appeal back in England, in September 1933 a new management changed its title to The London Forum. The name change presumably did not achieve the desired effect, for in a partial reversal the journal was re-Christened The Occult Review (incorporating the "London Forum") in January 1936, at which time it also changed from monthly to quarterly publication. The subtitle "the London Forum" was removed in July 1938, and the journal went on to have several redesigns, including a significant one in April 1940, when wartime paper-restriction saw its format reduced sharply in size, with the familiar orange/red quarto wrappers gone forever. The journal continued in this format until December 1948, when it disappeared, only to remerge the following year as Rider's Review. In this form it faded into quiet obscurity, apparently ceasing publication in the spring of 1951, a shadow of its once-proud self.

A note of thanks is due to Anthony Iannotti, R. A. Gilbert, Ben Fernee, and the others who have helped unravel the often-shadowy history of this journal. Also to The Theosophical Society in Australia whose on-line Index to The Occult Review ( http://www.austheos.org.au/indices/OCCREV.HTM ) has proved invaluable in preparing and cross checking the listings.

About This Catalog & How To Purchase From It.

top

This is Weiser's eighty-second year of business as specialist sellers of esoteric books. For many decades the company issued printed catalogs, however, the high costs involved and the advent of the internet brought an end to these, and for some years we only listed our books on various internet book-sites and directly on to our own website. In January 2006 we began issuing a new series of on-line catalogues, of which this is the fortieth. Whilst we will continue to add stock weekly to the 10,000 books currently listed on our website, http://www.weiserantiquarian.com we will also issue regular on-line catalogs like this on various of our specialist subjects.

These catalogs give us the opportunity to present collections or groups of related items in a more detailed and sympathetic context than the normal website allows, and will also enable us to give our established customers first choice at some of the more interesting new arrivals, as well as to offer them 'special' or bargain items. The items in this catalog will not be advertised on other bookselling sites until at least several days after the emails advertising the catalog have been sent out and it has been posted on-line. If you would like to be notified by email when we post a new catalog on-line, please send an email with 'subscribe' in the subject line to books@weiserantiquarian.com You can have your name removed from the list at any time, simply by asking, and of course we will not re-supply your details to anyone.

Please keep in mind that in most cases we only have one copy of the book listed available for sale, and that it is therefore advisable to order promptly if you wish to secure it.

The books can be ordered either through our main website: http://www.weiserantiquarian.com by telephone, mail, or email. If you wish to order through our website, simply go to the homepage and locate the book or books using the author and title, and use the 'shopping cart' and secure check out facilities. When ordering a book by telephone, mail, or email please tell us the author, title, and, most importantly, the 'unique book number' (that is the number in brackets next to the price) of the book or books you wish to purchase. Postage and insurance, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser at cost.

We will advise promptly whether the book or books you ordered are still available, and the postage options. Customers from within the United States may pay by Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, or Amex), money order, or check (or in-person by cash). Overseas customers can pay by Credit Card, or by International Money Order or Bank Draft payable in U.S. dollars.

Please contact us if you have any queries. Our email for enquiries or orders is:
books@weiserantiquarian.com

or you can telephone us on: 207-363-7253

If calling from overseas please dial your international access code, followed by the country code for the US (1) and then 207-363-7253.

As our business is 95% internet / phone / and mail-order we do not keep regular 'shop hours.' However, we are usually available to answer queries between 9am and 5pm, weekdays, EST (Eastern Standard Time) that is the same time zone as Boston. If calling long distance a useful time conversion chart can be found at: Worldclock or you can safely leave a message on our answering machine at any time.
