BOOK ONEPSYCHIC WEDLOCKMarital union takes place on three planes - body, mentality and spirit. In the perfect union, the amount of energy expended on any one plane is in exact equation with that expended on either of the others. But when the reverse occurs, the union is imperfect; and when the inequality is marked, the union has no claim to be called true wedlock.Thus, when the energy expended upon bodily union is greatly in excess of that expended upon the mental and spiritual planes, it is called lust, and right-thinking people turn from it with a shudder.BOOK TWOTHE HEAVEN OF THE BIBLE "For thee, O dear, dear Country, Mine eyes their vigils keep." What does the Bible say about that world beyond the grave, called Heaven? This is a question which many a devout Christian has asked, only to be referred to the apocalyptic visions of John in the book of Revelation, - visions which relate chiefly to the religious side of the future life. I maintain, however, that all through the Bible may be caught glimpses of that life, not only in its religious, but also in its social and industrial aspects. And if we bring our intelligence to bear upon each of these momentary revelations of Heavenly customs, we shall be able to construct a fairly vivid mental picture of life in Heaven. Our sources of information, as revealed in the Bible, may be classified as follows: 1. The book of Revelation. 2. The statements of such seers as Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Daniel concerning various interviews which they claim to have had with angelic beings and with the Lord. 3. The allusions to angels and their ways of doing which are scattered throughout both the Old and the New Testaments. 4. Passages which seem to recognize that which is variously termed in modern times the dual personality of man, his wraith, his astral form, his double. 5. The angelic appearances of deceased prophets at the Mount of Transfiguration and in the abode of the Witch of Endor. 6. The ascensions of Elijah and Jesus. 7. The words of Jesus while on earth. Throughout this book, the Revised Version of the Old and New life, as embodying archives of the most recent and most accurate scholarship has been used for quotations.

Craddock even stated that her intercourse with Soph was so noisy as to draw complaints from her neighbors. Her mother responded by threatening to burn Craddock's papers and unsuccessfully tried to have her institutionalized. Craddock moved to Chicago and opened a Dearborn Street office offering "mystical" sexual counseling to married couples via both walk-in counseling and mail order. She dedicated herself to "preventing sexual evils and sufferings" by educating adults, achieving national notoriety with her editorials in defense of Little Egypt and her controversial belly dancing act at the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago during 1893.

Persecuted by Anthony Comstock and his Society for the Suppression of Vice, this turn-of-the-century heroine was also a spiritualist who learned many secrets of high magick through her claimed wedlock to an angelic being. Born in Philadelphia in 1857, Ida Craddock became involved in occultism around the age of thirty. She attended classes at the Theosophical Society and began studying a tremendous amount of materials on various occult subjects. She taught correspondence courses to women and newly married couples to educate them on the sacred nature of sex, maintaining that her explicit knowledge came from her nightly experiences with an angel named Soph. In 1902, she was arrested under New York’s anti-obscenity laws and committed suicide to avoid life in an asylum. Now for the first time, scholar Vere Chappell has compiled the most extensive collection of Craddock’s work including original essays, diary excerpts, and suicide letters--one to her mother and one to the public.
