The Atlantis Bookshop in Museum Street is an esoteric bookshop in London. Established by Michael Houghton in 1922, it celebrated its 95th birthday on 21 March 2017.
Currently owned and run by Bali Beskin and her mother Geraldine, Atlantis hosts art exhibitions and esoteric talks, workshops and book launches. For many years it ran The Moot With No Name in the nearby Devereaux Arms off Fleet Street, which then moved to Milford's pub in Milford Lane as The Atlantis Bookshop Presents before ceasing some years ago. It also publishes occasional volumes under its own imprint, Neptune Press, for example an illuminated edition of Aleister Crowley's The Book of the Law.
Atlantis has long been a hub for London's occult world.Gerald Gardner attended meetings of The Order of the Hidden Masters in its basement during his formative years, and also held meetings of his own Coven there. The shop published his first book on witchcraft, the novel High Magic's Aid. Here he also met Ross Nichols, later a key figure in the Druid world, who edited Gardner's 1954 Witchcraft Today.
In the 1980s, the Odin Brotherhood used the shop as a contact point.
