Author Description

William Walker Atkinson is perhaps one of the most mysterious writers ever to live. He wrote hundreds of books under several different names, transmitting knowledge that was so deep -and so secret-, that you can't help but asking, "who was this man?". Even his 'death' is mysterious, as his death certificate is signed by a doctor that has his exact handwriting...This volume is the third or the "The Arcane Teaching" series, where Atkinson analyzes VRIL, the universal principle of vital-energy, life-force, or vital magnetism, as it is sometimes called. In many ancient treatises we find references to "Vril" not only in its sense of the principle vital energy, but also that sense of inherent usable energy which we seek to express the term "human magnetism", a subject that Atkinson develops in several of his books.
