Various
Theosophy -- Periodicals
Spiritualists, mystics, and metaphysical Orientalists need not
feel jealous, as they are made to share the same fate, and are
raised to the same dignity with the Theosophists. The writers of
“The Perfect Way,” Mrs. Dr. Kingsford and Mr. E. Maitland, stand
arm-in-arm with the humble writer of “Isis Unveiled” before the
throne of Satan. Mr. Ed. Arnold, of “The Light of Asia,” and the
late Mr. Kenealy, of the “Book of God.” are seen radiating in the
same lethal light of brimstone and sulphur. Mr. C. C. Massey is
shown stuck deep in Antichristian Metaphysics; our kind Lady
Caithness is pointed out in the coils of the “Great Beast” of
Romanism, and charged with “Goddess worship:” and even—ye Powers
of mystical Perception!—Mr. Arthur Lillie’s Buddhist Monotheism is
taken _au grand serieux_!

The Path; “a magazine devoted to the Brotherhood of Humanity,
Theosophy in America, and the study of Occult Science, Philosophy,
and Aryan Literature.” Edited by William Q. Judge. Price ten
shillings per annum. New York, U. S. A. P. O. Box, 2659, etc. George
Redway, 15 York Street, Covent Garden, London.
A most excellent and theosophical monthly, full of philosophical
literature by several well-known mystics and writers. The best
publication of its kind in the United States, and one that ever
fulfils what it promises, giving more food for thought than many of
the larger periodicals. Its August number is very interesting and
fully up to its usual mark.
Jasper Niemann continues his excellent reflections in “Letters on
the True.” Mr. E. D. Walker, in an article upon “The Poetry of
Reincarnation in Western Literature,” cites the verses of
Wordsworth, Tennyson, Dean Alford, Addison, H. Vaughan, Browning,
etc., in proof of the fact that these poets were tinctured, if not
imbued, with the philosophy of reincarnation. B. N. Acle continues
_Notes on the Astral Light_, from Eliphas Levi. He cites the
startling and lurid enunciation of that epigrammatical occultist,
who says that “He who dies without forgiving his enemy, hurls
himself into Eternity armed with a dagger, and devotes himself to
the horror of eternal murder.” “_The Symbolism of the Equilateral
Triangle_,” by Miss Lydia Bell, shows how much wisdom can be
extracted from a little symbol when you know how to look for it
there.
