Author Description

W.J Colville's "Ancient Mysteries" is a dense and lengthy compendium of lore from a variety of time periods on many subjects- from figures such as Apollonius, Swedenborg, and Joan of Arc, to religions like Buddhism and that of Ancient Greece, to concepts such as comets and their influence over mankind. It is a decidedly spiritualist work, explaining both history and theory, fixating sometimes on the connection between then-modern spiritualism and the subjects at hand which are described.
