More about the book: Thought-Forms: A Record of Clairvoyant Investigation is a seminal occult book compiled by the leaders of the Theosophical Society, Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater. It was originally published in 1905 in London. According to the teachings of Theosophy, thoughts and emotions create distinctive patterns of color and form in the human aura—visible only to those who are gifted with a sufficient degree of clairvoyance and can see beyond our normal perceptions. Besant and Leadbeater dictated their clairvoyant "thought-forms" to a group of friends who then created the 58 magnificent illustrations contained in the book. This book was a major influence on the artists Hilma Af Klint and Wassily Kandinsky among many others but has long been overlooked as a foundational pillar in art history. Besant was also an early suffragist and political activist and was far ahead of her time as an artist and thinker. Theosophy was the first occult group to open its doors to women and Thought Forms offers a reminder that the history of modernist abstraction and women’s contribution to it is still being written. Our re-print aims to bring this over looked masterpiece back into circulation in the form of a high quality clothbound and embossed hardcover at an affordable price. We have also worked with the editor of the project Lucy Lord Campana to commission three introductory pieces by contemporary scholars to further contextualize the book. "This outstanding edition of Besant & Leadbeater’s Thought-Forms is thoughtfully conceived and beautifully presented. Well over a century since it first came out, readers will finally be able to truly appreciate the colours and forms presented in Thought-Forms, as much as the ideas, as they were originally intended.
We can hardly underestimate the role that Thought-Forms played in the development of Modern Western art, especially early abstract art. The illustrations and colour schemes it contains reverberate in the canvasses created by such luminaries as Wassily Kandinsky, Hilma af Klint and many others, and their legacy is still felt in contemporary art today. More than just a tribute to the original, this superb volume offers sound contextualisation and historical embedding of Thought-Forms. It is the ideal source for students, artists, art lovers and general readers alike."

Reviews for "The Connection Between Crooked Witch Hats and Elemental Magic"
1. John - 1 star - "I found 'Crooked Witch Hatr' to be extremely boring and unoriginal. The storyline was predictable, and the characters lacked depth and development. The writing style was also subpar, with numerous grammatical errors and awkward sentence structures. Overall, I was highly disappointed and would not recommend this book to anyone looking for an engaging and well-written witch-themed novel."
2. Emily - 2 stars - "I had high expectations for 'Crooked Witch Hatr' based on the positive reviews I had read. However, I found the plot to be convoluted and confusing. The author seemed to introduce too many subplots without adequately tying them together, leaving me feeling perplexed and disconnected from the story. Additionally, the dialogue felt unnatural and forced, making it difficult to empathize with the characters. In the end, I felt let down by this book and cannot give it a higher rating."
3. Sarah - 1.5 stars - "I struggled to get through 'Crooked Witch Hatr' as it lacked a clear direction and purpose. The narrative seemed scattered, jumping from one event to another without sufficient explanation or justification. The characters were one-dimensional, and their motivations were unclear. Moreover, the pacing was inconsistent, with dull moments dragging on while potentially exciting scenes were rushed. Unfortunately, this book fell short of my expectations, and I regret purchasing it."
