Hardcover with original, scarce, beautiful Art Deco dust jacket. "I have been asked to introduce this book to a skeptical world, and yet a world in which every religion, each scripture, asserts the fact of the existence of Angels and of their occasional appearances among men." (Foreword) Dictated to Hodson by the angel Bethelda, the book calls for a reawakening of the bond between humans and the angelic realm a return to days when angels walked among men and women and helped them with their chores and labors. Written in prose, it explains how angels and their minions have been directed to cultivate new channels to the human race, so that they may work with men and women. Bethelda also describes the proper way for humans to approach the angelic kingdom and beseech their help. The angel sketches out a vision for what is possible, if humans and angels learn to work together toward the common goal of enlightening the earth plane. This vision is nothing less than the unification of the two kingdoms into a single Brotherhood of Angels and of Men.
