THE WISDOM OF THE GODS
Book Details + Condition: T. Werner Laurie Ltd. (London). First Edition, 1925. Hardcover. 439 pages with Index. Illustrated with photographs of "Spirit Imprints." During the course of eight years, author H. Dennis Bradley documented hundreds of seances, in an attempt to amass evidence of the afterlife. The book details the process and elements of a seance and relates detailed accounts of these occult cases, which collectively, the author concludes is proof of “Life After Death”. Some of the more famous sitters include novelist P.G. Wodehouse; entertainer and composer Ivor Novello; Japanese poet Gonnoske Komai; artist Charles Sykes; and socialites of London’s high society. The author also documents captured “spirit or ectoplasmic imprints”, in which a spirit leaves a mark- a signature or drawing - upon a piece of paper. These imprints are illustrated in the book from original photographs.
