Slavinski, a disciple of Kenneth Grant, Michael Bertiaux, and Charles Berner, is credited with introducing Occultist ideas and practices in the region in the 1970s.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5962\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5962\" style=\"width: 605px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5962\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rensep.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/273696_ab79c1b5199c49fd9cf98573cacee4ecmv2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"605\" height=\"420\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5962\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u017divorad Mihajlovi\u0107 Slavinski and Kenneth Grant.
