Francis Barrett (occultist)
Francis Barrett According to his biographer Francis King, Francis Barrett’s parents were humble folk
married in the parish of St. Martin’s in the Fields on September 29, 1772: If my identification of the parents of the magician Francis Barrett is correct it is clear that his origins were comparatively humble. For at the time of his marriage to Ann Jones the elder Barrett was illiterate, signing his name with a cross. Interestingly enough Ann Jones was literate—not only did she sign the register (Anne (sic) Jones) but her signatures displays a practiced hand, i.e.that of someone used to writing, not that of someone whose sole claim to literacy was the ability to write a signature in large, clumsy pot-hook of the sort often found in Parish Registers of the period. The date of Barrett’s birth is uncertain and unremarkable. He was a Protestant middle-class Anglo-Irish or Welsh male born in London. A document exists from a parish register in St. Marylebone London indicating the birth of a Francis Barrett born December 18, 1774, to Francis Barrett and Anne Jones then baptized at St Mary’s Church in Marylebone, January 1775.Little after that time is known about him until 1800, when a marriage register from the parish of Barnstable was signed by a Francis Barrett and a very young woman by the name of GraceHodge. Some debate exists on the identity of Barrett’s wife; however, he did marry, and he later reported that he had one son. Barrett and his family lived in two locations in London, where in the Woolworth district he worked as an apothecary while he compiled ''The Magus''.
==Career==
Barrett, an Englishman, claimed himself to be a student of chemistry, metaphysics, and natural occult philosophy. He was known to be an extreme eccentric who gave lessons in the magical arts in his apartment and fastidiously translated Kabbalistic and other ancient texts into English.
