Shadow Worlds | Free Book
A history of the occult and esoteric in New Zealand
A vigorous strand of interest in the occult, the spooky and the
mysterious has been part of New Zealand's history since 1840.Shadow
Worlds takes a lively look at communicating with spirits, secret
ritualistic societies, the supernatural, the New Age — everything from
The Golden Dawn and Rosicrucianism to Spiritualism, witchcraft and
Radiant Living — and introduces the reader to a cast of fascinating
characters who were generally true believers and sometimes con
artists.It' s a fresh and novel take on the history of a small
colonial society that was not quite as ploddingly conformist as we may
have imagined.
