“The neglected genius is a familiar figure of mythology; but there are also neglected lunatics who are worthy of study.”
― James Webb, The Occult Underground

“But there is more to the coincidence of occultism and anti-Semitism than a common basis in the fear of change. This can best be initially expressed as "a similar quality of hate." In the ceaseless quarreling that besets occult groups, black and white are the only colors and the occultist's opponents are most viciously attacked. Such a general statement can be further refined. The hatred in the occultist and in the anti-Semite—we have already seen that they can coincide—are similar in degree, which is almost limitless; in object, which is undirectional; and in subjective effect which is obsession—that is, such a hatred becomes the dominant feature of the hater's life, the cornerstone of his cosmology. Obviously, this generalization cannot be too vigorously applied. It becomes suggestive, however, when occultists and illuminates are discovered all along the path of anti-Semitism.”
