Description
The Life and Death of John Yarker
The Life and Death of John Yarker by David Harrison is the first extensive biography of one of the most polarizing and prolific figures in the history of the Craft. We’ve seen many researchers try to pin down Yarker’s legacy, but Harrison uses never-before-published letters and documents to give a clear account of the man who influenced Aleister Crowley and helped lay the groundwork for the O.T.O. This 352-page paperback explores his move from Manchester to the center of the Victorian occult revival, where he spent his life collecting and propagating an eclectic range of Rites and Orders. Whether you are interested in his role with the Ancient and Primitive Rite or his connection to the first Muslim converts in England through the Order of Zuzamites, this book provides the factual foundation you need. It’s a solid resource for any brother looking to understand the complex history of our fringe degrees and the men who preserved them.
