"In Hines Varieties we have a valuable gift from one of the key figures in the late 20th/early 21st century Pagan and occult scenes. Unlike the blustery works of many contemporary occultists, this vulnerable and honest collection provides a rare window of insight into Phil Hines magical development, set within a historical context. This wide-ranging feast of essays includes lost Pagan subcultural history, delicious nuggets of practice stretching from Chaos to Tantra, and the historical unearthing of little-known esoteric personae. Hine moves gracefully between moving intimacy and tight, engaging scholarship, with a humility that is uncharacteristic of the field. Even after 40 years of contributions to occult culture, Phil Hine remains a perpetually refreshing voice."
