Leadbeaters' work on the astral plane is an interesting (and sometimes bizarre) work of Theosophy, arranging the plane above normal physical existence into seven levels and detailing the inhabitants therein; there are human souls, the shades of the dead, thought-forms, and even beings loosely pre-defined as elementals or as cryptozoological (such as gnomes and undines.) Devas, and other incarnations above mankind, are taken out of their initial divine or semi-divine role in Eastern lore and are spoken of as being in the higher levels of the astral world. Vampires (in the psychic sense) and werewolves are also mentioned.
100 pages.
