Delinquent Elementals

This 656-page anthology collects material from Pagan News, a singular British publication spanning 36 issues across the 1980s-early 1990s. Edited by occult researchers Phil Hine and Rodney Orpheus, it assembles 50+ archive images, interviews, articles, and commentary documenting the UK’s occult and pagan countercultures. The collection reveals magical practitioners’ engagement with wider culture, political activism, and LGBTQ+ rights struggles, featuring contributions from influential figures in British occultism. Notably, it chronicles the Satanic Ritual Abuse Panic’s arrival and impact on UK occult communities. Published by Strange Attractor Press in paperback and limited hardback editions, the work presents an unpretentious yet incisive historical document of how radical esoteric practice intersected with late-twentieth-century British counterculture and identity politics.
