Occult Russia

In this comprehensive exploration of Russia’s spiritual landscape, Christopher McIntosh delves into the revival of ancient Slavic deities, pagan practices, and shamanic traditions in modern Russia, examining their persistence through historical upheavals. He traces the roots of contemporary spiritual movements back to the “Silver Age” and discusses how the Russian Revolution and subsequent eras influenced esoteric groups, including the controversial Book of Veles. The book also highlights the post-1989 spiritual reawakening, the resurgence of Orthodox Christianity, and the interface between spirituality and the arts, offering a nuanced look at Russia’s ongoing mystical and cultural journey.
