Elementary Treatise of Occult Science Hardcover Book

Papus, the French physician turned occultist who helped shape late 19th century esoteric thought, spent his life translating the language of secret societies into something a serious student could actually work with. This is that work.

Elementary Treatise of Occult Science pulls together the symbolic systems that underpin Western esotericism, alchemy, astrology, Freemasonry, Kabbalah, and the broader hermetic tradition, and maps the connections between them. It is dense in the best way, the kind of book that rewards patience and a notebook kept nearby. If you have been moving through tarot, chaos magic, or dark philosophy and want to understand the architecture underneath all of it, this is the foundational text that puts the pieces in conversation with each other. Translated and annotated by Mark Anthony Mikituk, this edition makes a genuinely difficult body of work accessible without flattening it.

Format: hardcover. Authors: Papus, translated by Mark Anthony Mikituk.
