Books by Jean Maveric

Little is known about the life of the writer behind the pseudonym Jean Maveric except that he was a prominent figure in occult and alchemical circles in Paris in the early twentieth century. He was affiliated with Papus's Ecole hermetique, where he taught courses in Hermetic philosophy and astrology, and was also an active member of the Societe alchimique de France, a group of practicing occultists devoted to the study and revival of alchemy. Jean Maveric also wrote under the pseudonyms "Jean Belus" and "Jean Petit," the latter of which appears to corroborate occult bibliographer Albert Louis Caillet's assertion that "Jean Maveric" was the nom de plume of Maurice Petitjean.
