Moved to mainspace by Vaticidalprophet (talk). Self-nominated at 02:50, 14 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Gareth Knight; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
I do not have a way to access any of these books at the moment, but considering the hook serves as essentially a summary of the article, I would find it difficult to imagine it being incorrect, especially since it is clearly visible that the subject has published books about magic and Christianity. Accepting on good faith. Generalissima (talk) 21:01, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

The article mentions the society, but doesn't describe it anywhere as a society of magicians. ~ F4U (talk • they/it) 23:23, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

- Sorry, busy. The issue seems trivial (it fell off my radar because I went "well, that's trivial" and assumed I'd fixed it). I'll get it soon -- the sources are all extremely clear on this. Vaticidalprophet 16:49, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Done, I guess ("esoteric order" is itself fairly clear, but "esoteric magic order" does I guess not-lose-meaning). Vaticidalprophet 16:50, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
