A vigorous strand of interest in the occult, the spooky and the mysterious has
been part of our 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.
