Adding to my to-read list.
"This is the fascinating story of Paschal Beverly Randolph, an African American who carved his own eccentric path in the mid-nineteenth century from the slums of New York's Five Points to the courts of Europe, where he performed as a spiritualist trance medium. Although self-educated, he became one of the first Black American novelists and took a leading part in raising Black soldiers for the Union army and in educating Freedmen in Louisiana during the Civil War. His enduring claim to fame, however, is the crucial role he played in the transformation of spiritualism, a medium's passive reception of messages from the spirits of the dead, into occultism, the active search for personal spiritual realization and inner vision.
From his experiences in his solitary travels in England, France, Egypt and the Turkish Empire in the 1850s and 1860s, he brought back to America a system of occult beliefs and practices (the magic mirror, hashish use and sexual magic) that worked a revolution. The systems of magic he taught left their traces on many subsequent occultists, including Madame Blavatsky and her Theosophical Society, and are still practiced today by several occult organizations in Europe and American that carry on his work. This is the fist scholarly work on Randolph and includes the full text of his two most important manuscript works on sexual magic."

Inktober Day 07: FANCY My entry for day 7. I decided not to add the orange to this one. This is based on one of John Tenniel's illustrations in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. #inktober #inktober2020 #fancy #zebrabrushpen #designmarker #markersketch #johntenniel #lewiscarroll #aliceinwonderland #alicesadventuresinwonderland #footman #frog #fish #amphibian #englishliterature #nineteenthcentury #formal #childrensliterature #letterdelivery #invitation #robbmommaerts https://www.instagram.com/p/CGECFGFl-5w/?igshid=1u3qi14gm050y
ON THIS DAY IN Royal HISTORY . 30 May 1842 . John Francis tried to assassinate the Queen. . . ◼ On 29 May 1842, Queen Victoria was riding in a carriage along The Mall, London, when John Francis aimed a pistol at her but the gun did not fire; he escaped. . ◼ The following day 30 May, Victoria drove the same route, though faster & with a greater escort, in a deliberate attempt to provoke Francis to take a second aim and catch him in the act. . ◼ Standing on Constitution Hill with a flintlock pistol, Francis waited for Victoria & Prince Albert to return from a carriage ride through London’s parks. . ◼ As expected, Francis shot at her, but he was seized by plain clothes policemen, & convicted of high treason. On 3 July, two days after Francis’s death sentence was commuted to transportation for life. . ◼ The decision to ride was entirely down to the Queen, as was the decision to ride the next day among a crowd of thousands clamouring to congratulate her. . . ◼ There were at least seven recorded assassination attempts on Queen Victoria’s life. . . #OnThisDayInHistory #thisdayinhistory #History #AssasinationAttempt #QueenVictoria #houseofhanover #TheMall #JohnFrancis #ConstitutionHill #BritishMonarchy #PrinceAlbert #Victorian #NineteenthCentury #TheYear1842 #RoyalFamily #D30may (at The Mall, London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA03UbFDrcz/?igshid=4o7885hdwrj
