Produktbeschreibung

Few words will be necessary by way of preface to this book, which is designed as an introduction to a little understood and much misrepresented subject.
I have not here written anything which is intended to displace the observations of other authors on this subject, nor will it be found that anything has been said subversive of the conclusions arrived at by experimentalists who have essayed the study of clairvoyant phenomena in a manner that is altogether commendable, and who have sought to place the subject on a demonstrable and scientific basis. I refer to the proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research.
In the following pages I have endeavoured to indicate the nature of the faculty of Second Sight or Clairvoyance, the means of its development, the use of suitable media or agents for this purpose, and the kind of results that may be expected to follow a regulated effort in this direction. I have also sought to show that the development of the psychic faculties may form an orderly step in the process of human unfoldment and perfectibility.

Autorenporträt

Sepharial, a 19th-century astrologer, went under the pseudonym "Sepharial" after an angel in the apocryphal Book of Enoch. Sepharial, a famous English Theosophist, was a well-known and recognized astrologer in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, having written multiple works, some of which are still highly valued in some circles today. He was the editor of Old Moore's Almanac, which is still published in the twenty-first century. As a young man, Sepharial studied medicine before moving on to psychology, oriental languages, astrology, and numerology. In 1886, he began writing an astrology issue page in the Society Times, answering public concerns, and in 1887, he was inducted to the Theosophical Society's "inner sanctum". Sepharial was a prominent author in the disciplines of occultism, astrology, and numerology, and his writings had a significant impact on Alfred H. Barley and Alan Leo, whom he brought to Theosophy. He is credited as the first astrologer to incorporate Waltemath, Earth's hypothetical natural satellite, in his calculations. Lilith is referred to as the "dark moon" because he believes it is black enough to be unseen most of the time. Many of his novels and other works were put together in a haphazard manner, making his fame less durable than it could have been. Sepharial has founded several astrology periodicals, all of which failed to establish themselves.
