Hi Tim, Caroline et al.
Nevils PHD Thesis "Rosaleen Norton's Contribution to the Western Esoteric Tradition" is available here -
http://hdl.handle.net/1959.13/31438

I read in an interview somewhere that this has been recently published in book form, so I would imagine that would be 'Homage to Pan".

I thought it was interesting, but didn't find a lot in there that I hadn't already read. The main things I found interesting was the new information on Eugene Goosens influence on Rosaleen Nortons practice and the extract from a psychiatric interview she did.

I think this would be a good introduction for anyone who hasn't read much about this aspect of magick, although I have to say that I find Nevil's understanding of contemporary witchcraft to be fairly shallow and about 15 years out of date.

I think this is a valuable contribution as it brings together ideas which, though obvious to those who have studied Norton, Crowley and Spare, have not been brought to gether in the same place before.

For people who want to delve deeper into the work of Spare, I would recomend "Taking Power: Claiming Our Divinity Through Magick" by
Stephen Mace.
http://www.amazon.com/Taking-Power-Claiming-Divinity-Through/dp/1561842400

After reading Mace then go and have a look at Spares stuff, most of it is available on the web.

To read some of Rosaleen Nortons Poetry and magical writing check out "Thorn in the Flesh, A Grim-memoire, by Rosaleen Norton".
