Mysticism in Heathendom and Christendom: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

Lehmann's work on mysticism is quite fascinating; it does not simply relegate itself to the normal timeline of high antiquity, early Christian movements, and latter day ones, but delves into Hindu, Persian, Chinese, and even animist spiritual rituals and systems. While it proposes a generally evolutionist timeline to the development of mystic thought, it is more apologetic than most contemporary works.

Animism, the Seed of Religion: Now Available!



This is of interest potentially to two groups of people; the occultist will here find some interesting folk tales and spiritual rites from cultures then being actively studied at the height of the colonial era, and the history buff will find in these pages an interesting but sometimes outdated colonial perspective on non-European cultures. It focuses mostly on African lore but also on India and makes some mention (in the naturalistic period post-animism but prior to semimodern religion, as the theory then held) to the Mesoamericans. The categorical system isn't entirely accurate, but it is applicable and useful.
