The candle of vision Kindle Edition

by George William Russell (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 49 ratings
See all formats and editions
A set of transcendent essays on Celtic mysticism, describing Russells’ luminous excursions into the otherworld, including clairvoyant and prophetic visions, precognition of Gnostic concepts, past-life and astral journeys, and, always, heightened awareness of the beauty that pervades mundane reality. Russell describes encounters with what today we would call UFOs, and attempts to construct a private Kabala based on an intuitive reconstuction of a primal language and alphabet. Lastly, he attempts to put a mystical gloss on the primeval Celtic pagan deities. Chapters include The Slave Of The Lamp, The Many-Coloured Land, The Memory Of Earth, The Mingling Of Natures, The Language Of The Gods, The Celtic Imagination, Celtic Cosmogony, Ancient Intuitions, and Meditation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful inspiration for the mystic soul.

Oh, what beauty and inspiration to be found in the meditations of A.E. Russell’s spiritual journeying. This is a book for poets, artists, philosophers, spiritual seekers and mystics. This company of thinkers, dreamers and visionaries will find a kindred spirit in A.E.’s visions and imaginings. To some, the ideas and meanderings in this book will make little sense, but to some, it will be a balm to the world-weary soul.

I'm grateful this book is available. The more exposure one has to the truth the more one can live a more authentic life here and beyond. I want to thank John Lamb Lash "Not In His Image " (another great work) for the recommendation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely vision
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2013

I was amused by how "every effort has been made to" tidy up this edition by the publishers (paperback edition), and bring the reader
the best, most authentic quality to the reading experience, blah blah. Basically it looks like the 1920 edition has been photocopied, none too expertly, on standard office quality paper. The binding and the thin cover, with a photo of a more expensively produced hard back version was a bit of a disappointment, too.

Still, the Kindle edition seemed to come in a grey ink rather than black, so at least the paper edition can be held in your hands even if it is outsized.

The material itself is intriguing, utterly unique prose, and inspiring to anyone doing contemplative practices concerned with spiritual earth. Also recommend is Fountain of Song by the same author. If I had to chose one, it would be Fountain of Song, as this comes in a more transportable standard paperback side. Each book has its unique tone and style.

3.0 out of 5 stars Verbose verbose verbose
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2014

While the thoughts and words are strung together well and are often almost poetic, it is hard to get to the meat of what Russell wants you to think about and try to understand. I often found myself distracted by the metaphor and allegory and had to go back through the chapter of words to find the paragraph of truth.

I have no argument with thoughts and vision he expresses, but feel that a more concise presentation would be more convincing. However as I have no problem seeing with the minds eye perhaps the book was not writ for me.

This book was written almost 100 years ago but the spiritual aspects of what Russell depicts are timeless. I enjoyed reading this book and am heartened to know that my insights, intuitions and experiences with the universe are...universal!

I read this book from a recommendation by Colonel CRF Seymour in a book edited by Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki "The Forgotten Mage. It is a true gem, a primer if you will for the music path. I would highly recommend both books.
