Delinquent Elementals - A Pagan News Anthology

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.
