DELINQUENT ELEMENTALS : A PAGAN NEWS ANTHOLOGY by Phil Hine, Rodney Orpheus
Delinquent Elementals: A Pagan News Anthology collects some of the finest articles, news reports, interviews, and humour that appeared in this singular publication, providing a fascinating glimpse into the British occult and Pagan countercultures of the 1980s and early ’90s.
This collection, newly annotated by the editors, contains a plethora of essays, commentary, and a wide selection of evolving knowledge and insight into occult practices, while the list of contributors is a veritable directory of new wave British occultism. Delinquent Elementals reveals how magical practitioners interacted with the wider culture, political activism, and the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights and recognition. The zine’s 36 issues also charted the arrival, and devastating impact, of the Satanic Ritual Abuse Panic as it landed on UK shores and began a systematic assault on its occult communities.
Wonderfully unpretentious, absurdly funny and deeply insightful, this is the definitive guide to the radical publication that reflected and reshaped late-twentieth century British occultism.
Phil Hine is a British occult author and researcher. He has gained international recognition through his books Condensed Chaos, Prime Chaos and The Pseudonomicon. His most recent work is Queerying Occultures (Original Falcon Press, 2023).
