This mid-length book is notable not so much for its application of the occult but its treatment of two individuals in particular (although it speaks at some length of others and of various phenomena); namely, the infamous Eva Carriere, and Rudolf Steiner, developer of Anthroposophy and, prior, prolific writer and notable Theosophist.
To the former, significant applause is given; it should be noted that Carriere was later noted by her own consorts to be not just a fraud but a sexual exhibitionist who performed nude and "submitted" to "gynecological tests" primarily for her own amusement, involving a confederate who happened to be her lesbian lover. To Steiner is credited the excellence of his treatments of others' philosophical writings, although the author is quite acerbic otherwise and challenges Steiner directly on some of his assertions regarding "second sight." Altogether this is quite a good work and should be seen as cautionary to the occultist.
