The 1950s and 1960s were seen as the beginning not only of the "hippie" era, but also of an era of various revivals and movements in which Sylvia Plath got involved; one of these is the most clandestine awakening: the awakening of the occult. The occult revival was seen as taking a backseat to many of the other movements that occurred during the 1950s and 1960s and some even say that Plath simply used it as a metaphor in her poetry.
