    Evelyn Cowan

    Evelyn Marina Cowan is a Spiritualist. It would be fair to say that, since the untimely demise of her father, when she was six years old, Evelyn has since been preoccupied with, and intrigued by the mysteries of death. And, after a brush with her own immortality, several years ago, she emerged from her metamorphosis a prophetess, poetess, and priestess in all things ecclesiastical, having found a peace beyond understanding. She credits her classic inspiration to being charmed and amused by her mystical muses, and being visited by angels, who have gone on before to their reward, lavishing her with songs in the night.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
