Heym, Gerard (d. ca. 1974)
Heym, Gerard (d. ca. 1974)
Scholar, bibliophile, and student of the occult during the 1930s in Britain. Although Heym was a close associate of S. L. MacGregor Mathers and other members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, he does not appear to have been a member himself.
Heym had a special interest in alchemy and in 1937 became a founding member of the Society for the Study of Alchemy and Early Chemistry, established for "the scientific and historical study of the branches of learning named in its title." Heym contributed to the society's journal, Ambix.
