S.L. MacGregor Mathers
Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers was an English occultist and co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
He is best known for his translations of medieval grimoires and obscure occult texts, which made previously inaccessible material available to English-speaking audiences.
While his translations have been criticized for accuracy and completeness, they remain popular and influential in occult circles.
Mathers claimed Highland heritage by adding "MacGregor" to his name, though evidence for this is limited.
His work on grimoires, including The Key of Solomon, has had a lasting impact on Western esoteric traditions and continues to be widely read and studied.
