Occult Causes of the Present War

Occult Causes of the Present War is a book written by Lewis Spence that explores the mystical and esoteric factors that contributed to the outbreak of World War I. The author delves into the hidden history of secret societies, spiritualism, and occult practices that were prevalent in Europe at the time, and argues that these factors played a significant role in the tensions and conflicts that led to the war. Spence examines the influence of figures such as Helena Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, and Rudolf Steiner, as well as the impact of spiritualist movements and theosophy on political and military leaders. The book also explores the role of prophecy and divination in shaping the course of the war, and provides a fascinating insight into the hidden forces that shaped the world in the early 20th century.
