Walter Ernest Butler was an occultist and the Founder and first Director of Servants of the Light in Britain. He worked closely with Dion Fortune in the Society of the Inner Light.
A strong belief of mine is that each year should begin with a book that causes friends in one’s immediate and intermediate circles to cock an eyebrow and inquire into their general mental state. This book is fantastic for fulfilling this exact purpose. Generous enough to give a useful and balanced overview of the subject matter whilst short enough to be done cover to cover sitting poolside on a Sunday afternoon. What’s not to love?
