From Maiya’s pen…Part Two
A few weeks ago, in Part One of this thread, I shared some of my initial thoughts about a short yet inspiring and beautiful article on the Signs of the Zodiac written by Maiya Curtis Webb and published in a 1919 edition of The Occult Review. For this blog - Part Two - we now move a little backwards in time, to the other side of the Great War and to what appears to be the one surviving fictional story written by Maiya which is available in the public domain. Her story was published in a March 1913 edition of that same august publication, the cover of which is shown below. The edition of The OccultReview from which the story comes from, Volume 17, Number 3, includes a rare and colourful smorgasbord of articles. A sample of these include: · The New Alchemy, by Ralph Shirley, the then editor of the magazine · The Cambridge Platonists, by H Stanley Redgrove · Lao Tze: A Portrait – an anonymous article · Vision, a poem
