Marco Pasi

About the Author

Marco Pasi is a distinguished scholar of Western esotericism and cultural history, whose research illuminates the intersections of spirituality, art, and the occult in modern society. With a PhD from the University of Amsterdam, he holds the position of Professor of History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents at that institution, where he has mentored generations of students exploring the hidden dimensions of human thought. Pasi's work delves into the enigmatic figures who bridged the material and spiritual worlds, offering fresh perspectives on how esoteric traditions have shaped artistic expression and intellectual discourse. His seminal book, Georgiana Houghton: Spirit Drawings, uncovers the visionary art of a 19th-century spiritualist, revealing her automatic drawings as profound artifacts of Victorian-era mysticism and gender dynamics in the paranormal. Through meticulous analysis and evocative narrative, Pasi invites readers to reconsider the boundaries between rationality and the unseen forces that inspire creativity.
