General Note

This work is a series of visionary images dating from 1920 to 1929, informed by Theosophical philosophy and claimed to have been channeled from a spirit guide, pre-dating but with elements of psychedelic art. There are 35 monochrome black and white line drawings and 7 tipped-in square colour plates (plates 28, 31, 33, 34, 37, 40 and 42). There is no publication information except for the Chiswrick Press colophon. There is an introduction by the author in the form of diary entries from 1920; this is followed by Part I: The awakening to spiritual consciousness (including figures 1-25), Part II: From aspirant to master (including figures 26-42) and Appendix I: Some notes on preparation needed to enter the circle of the Initiates and for the instruction of the Amenuensis (with entries dated in 1932 and 1933). The illustrations are claimed to have been channeled from a ghost named J.P.F. to the psychic medium Ethel Le Rossignol whose hand produced the drawings on paper. This is the first edition of the publication; it was republished by Eyre & Spottiswoode in 1958.
