Podcast 21 - Mitch Horowitz

July 21st, 2007 by rochester92

Mitch Horowitz is the editor-in-chief of Tarcher/Penguin Books in New York, specializing in spiritual and occult books. He has published some of the leading titles in esoterica today, including “The Secret Teachings of All Ages: Readers’ Edition” by Manly P. Hall. Mitch joins us to discuss his forthcoming book on the occult in America, coming from Bantam. In our conversation, we discuss Mitch’s journey into the occult, spiritual, mystical, and metaphysical. He talks about his research into the history of America and its “re-making” of the occult. We then get into discussing many of the notable occult figures throughout recent history (Cagliostro, Blavatsky, Olcott, Case, Hall, and others), the differences between European occultism and American occultism, and the Authentic Tradition.Mitch’s knowledge and wisdom shines in this conversation, to say nothing of the amazing books he has helped deliver to the world.

   Awesome. I’m looking forward to listening to this
   show. I find Manly Hall’s writings to be throughly
   fascinating.

   I recently visited the Henry S. Olcott Memorial
   Library at the national center for the Theosophical Society and was pleased to see a
   whole section of Manly P. Hall books available to
   borrow.
