Critics Review
“Chasing the Green Dragon compares with few other books in its depth of research and ability to make connections in little known strata of occult history. The figure of Gaston de Mengel, hitherto little more than a name to researchers, focuses a vast imaginal complex of ‘unknown superiors’ running the world, and all the paranoia and pretension that goes with it. Truly an alternative history of the first half of the twentieth century!”
Prof. Joscelyn Godwin, author of Arktos, Music and the Occult, The Theosophical Enlightenment, Athanasius Kircher’s Theatre of the World, The Golden Thread, Upstate Cauldron, and others.
“Reads like a novel-but it’s true.”
Prof. Massimo Introvigne (Center for Studies on New Religions; author of Satanism: A Social History)
“Fascinating… a valuable piece of research”
Prof. Richard Spence, author of Secret Agent 666: Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult
