In this most unusual book, Geoffrey Hodson, one of the greatest occultists of his time, gives a fascinating account of evolution as it relates to a kingdom of nature parallel to man, namely the kingdom of the angelic hosts, known in the East as the kingdom of the Deva-s or 'the Shining Ones'.
The graphic descriptions of the various Deva-s -- of water, of fire, of mountains and seas, of trees and plants, of music, of individual nations -- with the colorful illustrations of their forms as seen by clairvoyant vision, lead one unconsciously into a wonderful experience of the 'comradeship of the angels'
