"French occult author Joséphin Péladan (1858-1918) moved in occult circles but was forgotten after death, leaving a vast opus of over a hundred novels and esoteric handbooks, proposing art as an esoteric path. Sphinxes, fallen angels, androgynes and ancient gods refract through his philosophy, a synthesis of Platonism, Luciferianism and Rosicrucianism."
