PREFACE Death and Magic have always been contemporary and always shall be in every age of the world. Death and Soul Transition, Spirit Communication and Magic were contemporaneous with the birth of man in this world, which to all were like unto a vale of tears. Death and immortality to the ^ul of the western individual is a sad recital throughout, because the htunan heart has in all ages hungered for true knowledge of the existence and presence of the dear departed. However, they are oftentimes ridiculous owing to the Christian Doctrine and theory of atonement which is founded upon a total misconception and crude interpretation of the true teaching of Spiritism, and are so glaring that little wonder it be that the human soul of man recoils from the horrible picture painted by many, of the future life of man. Oriental teachings and traditions teach man the mysteries of his present and future life. Eastern magic teaches man the art of performing things which surpass the powers of his physical and material nature. These teachings are thought by some to be more than ordinarily bad, in consequence of a compact, expressed or implied, with evil spirits.
18 DEATH AND HINDU SPIEITISM. This IS nonsensical, for by True Magic, which same not being Sorcery or Black Magic, man can find profit and be taught that which is of vital importance to himself and family. Man will discover Magic at every epoch in history. True, man has made use of Magic to domineer over man. The chroniclers of every age teem to overflowing with narrations of Magical Operations as does the far reaching memories of every human soul which^ follows these facts. The Sorcerer and his Disciple who pay homage to evil spirits always have had their tables heaped with viands and wine, as the Witch or Sorcerer may become very powerful indeed in suspending the faculties of man and even animals, and alter certain things, also of binding to sickness, love or hatred, but in time, surely self-torment shall consume his soul, neither shall he know any happiness. This is sacred truth, incontrovertible, for remember that that which thee seeks thee will attract to thy soul, and what thee asks for with thy Occult Powers, for these are the terrible instruments of the Sorcerer, thee will surely receive a thousand fold, for he who is in league with familiar spirits will regret it.
INTRODUCTION The teachings of East Indian Occultism are the True Wisdom, and he who hath it not can in no way penetrate the True Secrets of Spirit Magic, and he but buildeth upon a foundation of sand, and his building can in no way last. Many conjurers of Black and Devilish Arts have attempted to persuade me to be wise, while they themselves, with words which I myself well understood, but which is little known, and with extravagant Symbols made bells to sound, and while with execrable conjurations made appear in glasses him who had committed a theft, and they made a liquor causing an old man to appear young (and that only for the space of two hours and no longer). All these things which they indeed taught me, but the whole was but vanity, low curiosity, and a pure deception of the Evil Spirits leading to no useful end imaginable, and tending to the loss of the Soul. I having the true veritable knowledge of the Sacred Hindu Magic, and banished them from mine heart and desires. These impious conjurers, with the aid and assistance of Evil Spirits, performed astounding feats. They used to render themselves invisible, so as to
