Guest Rani Singh, Director of the Harry Smith Archives and author of the book 'Harry Smith: The Avant-Garde in the American Vernacular' discusses what it was like working with Harry – and how Harry’s work changed the world.
"...in the late 1940s Smith began an earnest course of study in the A.'.A.'. system...His first teacher was the highly influential Canadian kabbalist Charles Stansfield Jones [Frater Achad]…"
Our mission is to provide listeners with interesting, informative, thought-provoking interviews featuring individuals involved in myriad realms of mysticism, spirituality and magical theory and practice: authors, sorcerers, academics, entertainers.
Interesting that Smith studied under Jones. So too did the writer Malcolm Lowry, earlier in the 1940s, when living in Vancouver. Interesting to know more about Jones between his break with Crowley in the 1920s, and his correspondence with Yorke in 1948, in the course of which he mentions having a number of students.
