Shades of Ungodliness: Satie, the Occult, and the Flight from Reason
Lindsey MacChiarella
"Faced with a collapse of orthodox religious ideals precipitated by the technological revolution in the mid-nineteenth century, Satie and many in the Western world took refuge in unorthodox occult religions during the fin de siècle. Avant-garde artists and composers found inspiration in these irrational and imaginative religions, and occult groups often acted as artistic patrons. The Rose+Croix Catholique, with whom Satie collaborated for two years, was a particularly influential supporter of new Impressionist and Symbolist movements."

Dynam-Victor Fumet, composer and organist, has been suggested as a possible source of Satie's interest in alchemy:
