1986 2nd Edition ,
DEVAS, FAIRIES AND ANGELS
A concise and characteristic Glastonbury New Age / esoteric booklet from the Gothic Image milieu. In this short tract Bloom argues for the reality of the devic kingdom — devas, fairies and angels — and sets out a practical, experiential approach to understanding and cooperating with such beings. Chapters include The Difference between Devic and Atomic Consciousness, Perceiving Devas, Working with Devas, Plant Devas and Landscape Angels, and Healing Angels; the booklet closes with an appendix offering a meditative exercise and a select bibliography.
By William Bloom
Author Bio: William Bloom is described on the rear cover as a teacher and writer working in mainstream and alternative education, with a long association with Glastonbury and the Findhorn Foundation.
Synopsis: A compact statement of late-20th-century British esoteric spirituality, rooted in the idea that “devic” life forms part of a parallel order of consciousness with which human beings may consciously work. Bloom’s method is not folkloric but practical: he distinguishes devic from atomic consciousness, discusses the perception of devas in nature and ritual life, and extends the theme into healing, meditation, domestic space and the modern city. As such, the booklet is both a period piece of the 1980s Glastonbury / Findhorn spiritual scene and a readable primer in contemporary angelic / nature-spirit thought.
