Synopsis

The present edition of LIGHT ON THE PATH is a verbatim reprint of the 1888 edition (George Redway, London) in which later edition the NOTES by the Author first appear. The COMMENTS, which are not in the 1888 edition, are here taken directly from Lucifer, Volume I, 1887-8, where they were first published. Also in this volume we reprint verbatim the original edition (1887) of THROUGH THE GATES OF GOLD by the same Author, together with a commentary by William Q. Judge taken from his magazine, The Path, March, 1887.

About this title

About the Author

Mabel Collins (9 September 1851 – 31 March 1927) was a theosophist and author of over 46 books. Mabel Collins was born in St Peter Port, Guernsey. She was a writer of popular occult novels, a fashion writer and an anti-vivisection campaigner. According to Vittoria Cremers, as related by Aleister Crowley, Collins was at one time being romantically pursued by both Cremers and alleged occultist Robert D'Onston Stephenson. Cremers claimed that during this time she found five bload-soaked ties in a trunk under Stephenson's bed, corresponding to the five murders committed in Whitechapel by Jack the Ripper. Stephenson is no longer a candidate as being Jack the Ripper due to the efforts of competent, modern researchers. However, Stephenson was a rival with Cremers for Collins' affections, and this account cannot be independently confirmed.
