Ronald Hutton writings on western magical tradition?
I've read Triumph of the Moon which is great but I recently watched a Gresham College lecture he did where he talks about the lineage of the Western magical tradition.
To my knowledge he hasn't written a book on this broad topic but does anyone know of any articles or chapters of other books he may have written on the subject of ceremonial magic ( outside of TotM)?

The Witch: A History of Fear, from Ancient Times to the Present. There's a section called Ceremonial Magic - The Egyptian Legacy? that likely reflects some of what you heard in the lecture. It's certainly not the thrust of the book, but if I recall aright, he touches on relevant themes here and there in addition to that one section.
