This seductive shadow-world of psychism lures many persons into its jungle-like depths, but it lures them only into the shadows of Reality, not into the Reality itself. Those who posture before the public as Hierophants of the Occult are unable to initiate their followers into that serene state wherein turbulent discontents and worldly desires wither away. They can, however, provide air-pies for those ready to swallow the solemn mysteries of occult lore; they can fool around in a fog of words and draw their followers likewise into it.
