Dudley Wright

A delicious study of the blood sucking ghost throughout historyIn July 1910, Dudley Wright published an essay entitled A Living Vampire in The Occult Review. The Occult Review was a monthly magazine, to which remarkable writers on the occult contributed, such as Aleister Crowley, Dion Fortune and Arthur Edward Waite. A few years later he expanded his essay on vampires into this still popular book entitled Vampires and Vampirism. It is one of the very few books ever written with a scientific approach to the subject of vampires and vampirism. Wright explores the vampire phenomena in different parts of the world and in different times in our history, starting with ancient Babylonia, Assyria and Greece. He continues with the vampire in Great Britain and the British Empire, Germany and it's surrounding countries, Bavaria, Hungary, Silesia, Bulgaria and Russia. Several more peculiar cases are described in his chapters "Miscellanea" and "Living Vampires". The vampire in literature is also treated and the volume ends with the fact or fiction question. Wright had a livelong interest in spiritual and paranormal subjects. This special revised VAMzzz Publishing edition is completed with a Post Scriptum with biographical information about the writer and an article on the vampire in Russia and Slavonic countries based on Muscovite folk-lore by W. R. S. Ralston, M. A.

The book ""Eleusinian Mysteries And Rites"" by Dudley Wright is a comprehensive exploration of the ancient Greek religious cult of Eleusis. The cult, which was centered around the worship of the goddesses Demeter and Persephone, was one of the most important and secretive religious practices of the ancient world. The book begins with an overview of the history and mythology surrounding the Eleusinian Mysteries, including the story of Demeter's search for her daughter Persephone and the founding of the cult at Eleusis. From there, the author delves into the various rituals and practices associated with the cult, including the initiation rites, the sacred processions, and the use of hallucinogenic substances. Throughout the book, Wright draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and modern scholarship, to paint a vivid picture of the Eleusinian Mysteries and their significance in the ancient world. He also explores the legacy of the cult, including its influence on later religious traditions and its enduring mystery and fascination for scholars and seekers of spiritual enlightenment. Overall, ""Eleusinian Mysteries And Rites"" is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in ancient Greek religion, mythology, and culture.
