This was a formative text in my early study of occultism, and I've recently been amused to find it featuring prominently in the early chapters of Dion Fortune's novel The Sea Priestess. Lord knows who decided it belonged in my high school library.
A excellent personal portrait of "The Great Beast" by a man who knew him well.
from Amazon.com: Putting his many years of research into a single volume, Hereward Carrington presents readers with a self-help guide for increasing their psychic abilities. Everyone who has experienced psychic phenomena, he says, wants to know how they can develop such powers on their own. And in this book, first published in 1920, he gives them their answers. As the path of development differs for each kind of medium, he has provided instruction on a variety of abilities, including show more automatic writing and clairvoyance. Serious students of the paranormal as well as those interested purely for entertainment value will find this book a helpful reference. British investigator of psychic phenomenon HEREWARD CARRINGTON (1880-1958) was a member of the Society for Psychical Research and wrote many books on the paranormal. Despite many of his most convincing cases being shown to be frauds, he continued to study claims of psychic power and established a research society in the United States in 1921. Some of his most famous works include Eusapia Paladino and Her Phenomena (1909) and Psychical Phenomena and the War (1918). show less
