Francis Grierson

Modern Mysticism Francis Grierson

This little work is a collection of short segments from a rather interesting man named Francis Grierson: in his time he was a musician, poet, socialite, and of course occultist who tended to subjugate the creative to the spiritual; indeed that is largely the topic of all sections herein. He praises some of the greater minds in music and literature and other arts, and likens their virtues to the realm of spirits and of intellectual- if not always strictly spiritual- enlightenment. At times the work delves into the political, contrasting the different creative schools that existed then in France, Germany, England, and the United States.
