About this Book Scan

Carefully scanned in full colour from one of our original copies of the 1912 first edition, as published by Alan Leo’s Modern Astrology Office.

The Pathway of the Soul: a Study in Zodiacal Symbology by J. Henry van Stone is one of a number of books analysing the signs of the zodiac from an essentially theosophical spiritual perspective to have been published in the early 20th century.

We do not know much about the author of this book, by whom this is the only known astrological work to have been authored. It should however be found to be of interest to students of theosophy and of theosophical and esoteric astrology, as well as to all interested in researching the full extent of the literature produced by the publishing house presided over by Alan Leo and his wife Bessie.
