The Kingdom of the Gods

About this book

Enormous luminous beings appear above forests, mountains and sacred places, their forms imagined in colours that ordinary vision cannot see. C. W. Leadbeater describes a hierarchy of devas whose work, he believed, extended into the natural world.

The book joins Theosophical teaching to detailed accounts of clairvoyant observation, accompanied by paintings of the entities and their supposed environments. It is one of the movement's most visually ambitious depictions of unseen life. Its descriptions should be understood as spiritual testimony, while the images can be appreciated as extraordinary exercises in visionary art.
