London: William Rider & Son, Limited, 1912. First Edition. Hardcover. "As fragments in the fabric of a spiritual up-building, as detached observations of the law of universal harmony, as things of isolated interest, all conspiring to the founding of a single idea, these curiosities of Occultism are offered to those who are able to appreciate them." - Introduction. The twenty-eight chapters include: The Meaning and Purpose of Occultism; The Star of Bethlehem; The Law of Cycles; The Time Factor in Kabalism; Planetary Numbers; Some Further Kabalas; Planetary Sounds; The Law of Vibrations; Lunar Influence; The Law of Sex; and more. "Walter Gorn Old (1864-1929) was a 19th-century astrologer who used the nom-de-plume 'Sepharial', after an angel in the apocryphal Book of Enoch. An eminent English Theosophist, he was a well-known and respected astrologer and wrote numerous books, some of which are stilll highly regarded. He was one of the founding members of the Theosophical movement in England. Madame Blavatsky (whom he lived with until her death) called him 'The Astral Tramp.'".- Wikipedia. vi, 294, [2], 16 [ads] pp. Tight and unmarked.
