    About this ebook

    Is it possible that major world events are affected by spirits—even if we don’t believe in them? J. H. Brennan’s “authoritative”(The Daily Beast) new occultist’s compendium reveals the spiritworld’s pervasive influence on our own, including:

    King Nebuchadnezzar’s Dreams, Isis & Osiris, Hades & The Underworld, Moses & The  Burning Bush, Joan of Arc, Joseph Smith, Muhammad at Mecca, Nostradamus, The Lesser Key of Solomon, Adolf Hitler & Peyote, Aldous Huxley & LSD, Jung & The Collective Unconscious, Shamanism, Cave Paintings, Poltergeists, Mandragores, Ouija Boards, Victorian Séances, and Exorcisms.

    In Whisperers, bestselling novelist and expert on the occult J. H. Brennan explores how the “spirit world”—whether we believe in it or not—has influenced our own since the dawn of civilization. Chronicling millennia of contact between the spirit world and our own, Whisperers presents an entirely new and different way to look at history.
