. Art magic; or, Mundane, sub-mundane and super-mundane spiritism. A treatise in three parts and twenty-three sections: descriptive of art magic, spiritism, the different orders of spirits in the universe known to be related to, or in communication with man; together with directions for invoking, controlling, and discharging spirits, and the uses and abuses, dangers and possibilities of magical art . , high and low no less than spiritism is divided into white andblack, good and evil. The subjects always attract a classof spirits correspondential to the natures of the operators,and to the purposes designed. The Hindoos, from the noble Gurooes, to the abject beg-ging Fakeers, all believe in Elementaries, and all believethat they have special power to aid in such operations astheir natures especially sympathize with. There are spirits of the earth, air, fire and water. Theyvary in species, class and degrees of power just as mortalsdo ; regard mankind as their Gods, and seek their aid asmeans of reaching higher spheres; desiring to serve themas opportunities of elevating themselves to the degree ofimmortality, which the souls of men alone enjoy. Thesepoor embryonic beings range from the purely mischievousand evil, to the aspirational and good. They are the Ginnor Genii of the Orient, who serve mortals in proportion totheir power to summon or command them, but we conclude. 193 with the assurance that—from the very heart of the se-cret crypts of initiation, from the lips of noble Gurooes,dreamy-eyed Purohitas, abstracted Nirvanys and tribes ofFakeers, the same tale is told. The profoundest mysteries of initiation are the evoca-tion of those called dead, and the power of the mag-netic touch, or the infusion of Astral fluid from one potentbody to another. Both methods combined, form the key-stone of the arch which unites the spiritism of ancientand modern India with that of the whole civilized world. SUPPLEMENT TO SECTION XI.
