"Scientific Illuminism" in Encyclopedia Thelemica (LAShTal.com)

Under the entry for "occultism" in the Encyclopedia Thelemica" at LAShTAL, there is the following brief mention of Scientific Illuminism....


"Historians sometimes use the term occultism in a loose sense to denote social trends that promote the study of the occult sciences. But it is also used more specifically to indicate the modern development of esotericism, in which an effort is made to reconcile traditional occult knowledge and supernatural beliefs with the perspectives of modern science and objective investigation. Notable instances of this latter sort of occultism include the 19th century groups mentioned above, as well as the "Scientific Illuminism" propounded by Aleister Crowley."
