Occult Chemistry: A Series of Clairvoyant Observations on the Chemical Elements

About this book

Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater believed that clairvoyance could expose the structure of atoms. They described intricate spinning forms, far beyond anything visible through microscopes of their day.

Their diagrams classify chemical elements into shapes, groups and progressively smaller structures, bringing the language of chemistry into a Theosophical system of perception. The observations have no basis in accepted chemistry. The intricate plates remain a record of the microscopic forms the authors claimed to see with an inner faculty.
