This strange work was crafted by a man who, upon brief investigation, is one of the most enigmatic figures in the occult which I have encountered. A relatively high class lawyer of the 19th century, Hatch' best known work wasn't even written by him, and was made posthumously via automatic writing. This text contributes to the sense of oddity in the case of the author, since it...
The author of this present work is notable for stream of consciousness style digests containing highly compressed information on spiritual subjects.

Unlike most entries in that series, this...
