Major Figures in Divination and Occult Matters

This index of major occultists, like any reference work of such magnitude, must by its very nature remain a continual work of progress.  New research on the past continues to add to our store of knowledge on the subject, new seers may appear in our present time, and we have no desire of declaring a work "complete" when it can be improved upon.

All persons are listed alphabetically, last name first.  Links to related websites or web pages on the person discussed will be made available when such pages exist, and when we in our estimation find such pages to be of value in adding to a reader's store of knowledge on the subject.
