Othe1· still deeper courses of Inner Lessons may be secured through direct corre pondence. Also interpretations to Rudyard Kipling's "Brushwood Boy," and to his book 'They," as well as interpretation to Henry Van Dyke's 'The Other Wise Man." AI o, interpretations to Balzac's "Magic kin," "Louis Lambert," and " eriphita."

These are very valuable as they show how Kipling and Van Dyke received illumination in the Dream State and how Balzac got his illumination.

We also make a specialty of rare out of print book along the Hn of Occultism, Mysticism, the Kaballa, the Tarot, Magic, Alchemy, Symbolism, Mythology, Rosicruianism Hermeticism and kindred subjects.
