That was just mad, a very eclectic collection of only tangentially related topics. At some points it was almost a straight history, particularly the Saxon era, which is a pet subject of the author, at other times it looked at spirituality and mythology and the clash with religion, but then went on an extended justification of Aleister Crowley, who the author believes to have genuinely had magical powers and foresaw a century of woe starting in 1914. it finishes off with a call for the Church of England to launch a Coleridgean clerisy to save the nation morally. Still not sure what I have just read.
