Walter Ernest Butler was an occultist and the Founder and first Director of Servants of the Light in Britain. He worked closely with Dion Fortune in the Society of the Inner Light.
I found this book in used condition and decided "what the hell, I'll bite", since I have had first-hand experience with psychometry and clairvoyance. I wanted to see if this author's description matched how I feel about these abilities, and if he had anything else to teach me that I've not already taught myself. There is some good advice in the book, but for the most part, there's nothing new that I hadn't already figured out on my own. Still, that in itself is good to know.
A very shallow essay about how to read the aura. Still, some information might be useful, if taken seriously and deepened by the contact with other readings.
An excellent and brief introduction to four branches of parapsychology by a longtime practitioner of them all. According to this author, we all have these supernormal faculties of perception; it is all a question of how close to our conscious experience they are. But they can always be brought to consciousness through cultivation and practice, and Butler tells us how to do just that. First of all we have to recognize that reality extends beyond what we can see and touch with our familiar physical senses. Once we've made that step, the door is open and we can proceed.
