The Kingdoms and the Descent into Matter
A central mineral axis meets branching lines for the descent into matter and re-ascent of spirit. Elemental groups sit to the left; vegetable, animal and human kingdoms are keyed to the right. Printed page 44 of Earth: Its Parentage, Its Rounds and Its Races turns its Theosophical account of development into a directional diagram. The 1908 title page is credited to A Student, while the diagram’s maker remains unidentified.
