5.0 out of 5 stars A Classical Account of Clairvoyant Observations of Angels, January 5, 2000

By 

Dr Geo - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Kingdom of the Gods (Hardcover)

It is interesting that this book was first published in the 1950s, yet many of the carefully recorded clairvoyant observations were done in the 1920s by Hodson. To me, this indicates the approach taken by the author was not flippant but a serious and sustained attempt to arrive at the truth. This was the first ever book with this kind of account of the nature spirits and angels. In many ways it is a landmark book, as there have since not been many to compare with its wealth of detailed practical information on the devic kingdom (angels and nature spirits).
In effect, this book paved the way for people like the Findhorn group and many other New Age organisations who study devas as aspects of trees, flowers, music, sacred places and all of nature.
Hodson links his observations to high quality colour illustrations that enchant and captivate the reader, whether one believes in angels or not. He gives his clairvoyant observations in the context of theosophical literature. There is also a chapter on the Kabbalistic approach to archangels, which is ponderous, but doesn't detract from the rest of the book.
The real strength of this book is in its colour pictures, which make it a memorable and significant text. My copy is over 10 years old, and I still go back to it for occasional reference, and for the illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Fairies, October 28, 2002

By 

Terrie (Little Chute, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Kingdom of the Gods (Hardcover)

First published in 1952, this book is essential reading for people who are interested in the metaphysics of beings who inhabit the world of nature parallel to our own, otherwise known as fairies, angels, devas, etc. This book is not a nursery story and you will not see the like of Tinkerbell in its pages. The text contains abundant information for adults and the book also contains many colored paintings of nature spirits or devas perceived psychically by the illustrator, Ethelwynne M. Quail. Perelandra and Findhorn communities work with these same beings and like this book owe a great deal to the Theosophical studies of H.P. Blavatsky, C.W. Leadbeater, and Annie Besant. If you are new to the study of fairies as real rather than fanciful beings, this book may seem overly philosopical and ponderous but the graphic descriptions of the devas are truly wonderful and are sure to be enjoyed. After a long life of study and meditation and work in the garden I have seen the truth of these writings in more ways than one. If your childish inner heart still has a yearning for fairies that has not flown with childhood's blush you may find the answer to its inner knowing within the pages of this book. It is interesting and very lovely and might cause you to look at nature's bounty with a keener eye. The writing goes from the highly technical to the poetic as in this description of sylphs or fairies of the Air element. "They are disporting themselves wildly in groups of two or three, travelling at great speed across the sky. There is a certain fierceness in their joy as they call to each other, their cries sounding like the whistling of the wind, reminiscent of the call of the Valkyries in Wagner's opera of that name."
This is a unique book and one that should not be missed by sensitive people who wish to be intimate with the natural world.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hodson Reveals Nature Intelligences, November 19, 2010

By 

Space Intelligences "SI's" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Kingdom of the Gods (Hardcover)

This book describes Geoffrey Hodson's perceptions of some of the quite natural Beings who are trying to save a planet being destroyed by human greed and denial of Nature.

Kingdom of the Gods provides some evidence of the multitude of other dimensional Advanced Beings and how They can effect the lives of so many People with events such as Cyclone Tracey (1974), Hurricane Katrina (2005), the Sumatra Tsunami (2004), the Christchurch New Zealand Earthquakes (2010-2001) and the Tokyo Tremor (2011).

In this book there are abstract geometric colour portraits of various Nature Spirits and Devas, similar to the portraits found in Theosophical Society books that describe the auras and thoughtforms, and their colours and patterns.

For further evidence of how Geoffrey Hodson was correct and the issue of Devas and Nature Spirits was very much alive and being actively promoted since the 1960's, read

How to contact space people by Mr. Ted Owens

How to Contact Space People gives ACTUAL accounts of the interface between Mr. Owens, a real Prophet of the Space Age Space Intelligences, and modern society held in bondage by mass hypnosis and conformity to a ruling human elite, as Mr. Owens and SI's tried their best to avert human destruction of Earth.

Kingdom of the Gods is a definite step to affirm the existence of Higher Beings and other dimensional Beings in Nature.
