For your reading pleasure, the collected works of Robert D’Onston Stephenson (aka Roslyn D’Onston). The man whom many occultists, Crowley included, thought was Jack the Ripper.
Fun stuff!

**** NOTE: This is 19th century British Occult writing. Racist comments and all kinds of vile anachronistic crap that people used to be ok with abounds. *****
Fascinating, to hear these old Brits talking about Obeah!
…that being said…Gods, the racism. This should come with a trigger warning of some sort, ha. The worldview of these fellows! “Savages” this, and “monkeys” that…arrgghh.
Its just part of the terrain of 19th century British Occultism but your point about a trigger warning is well taken.
True enough about the time period; If I’d known they’d be talking about Black folks I would have braced myself for the inevitable.
