In Doors of Valhalla, the author offers a comprehensive interpretation of Norse mythology based on contemporary esoteric ideas.

From the author’s introduction:
“In modern days, the Ageless Wisdom was first given out by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and later by different writers such as Dion Fortune, Annie Besant, and Alice Bailey. It makes sense to relate what they have to say about the world of the soul to the myth and mystery of Ancient Scandinavia.”

From Maria Kvilhaug’s foreword:
“In his Doors of Valhalla, Vincent Ongkowidjojo makes an honest attempt to consider the worlds of Norse mythology as various planes of consciousness on the path towards spiritual enlightenment in the light of Theosophy and Vedic traditions.”

From David Parry’s afterword:
“His excellent book Doors of Valhalla: An Esoteric Interpretation of Norse Mythology demands our attention, while clearly setting fresh standards for this sort of scholarship.”

Freya Aswynn on the book:
“This is a book that will shake up the Heathen Community. … It fills a glaring hole in the Northern Mysteries and this will be most welcomed by those in Heathenry willing to explore the deeper mysteries behind the lore.”

As a long time student of Freya Aswynn, Vincent Ongkowidjojo helps run her School of Runes and Northern Mysteries. Vincent’s vision is rooted in Western and Eastern esoteric philosophies. He earlier published Secrets of Asgard and Runen in de Noordse traditie. Visit Vincent’s website for latest updates on talks, courses and workshops.

Mystical Vampire introduces a cast of remarkable characters:

  • Mabel Collins: Theosophist, novelist, fashion columnist, journalist, and anti-vivisection campaigner.
  • Madame Blavatsky: The extraordinary and influential Russian occultist and author, along with other eminent members of her Theosophical Society.
  • Annie Besant: Social reformer and Theosophist.
  • Robert Donston Stephenson: A suspect for Jack the Ripper and Mabel’s lover.
  • Frances Power Cobbe: Social reformer, suffragist, and anti-vivisection campaigner.
  • Charlotte Despard: Social reformer and anti-vivisection campaigner.

In the oppressive Victorian climate, Mabel Collins stood out as an independent woman. Known for her best-selling mystical text, Light On The Path, published by the Theosophical Society, Mabel’s life took a dramatic turn after her fallout with Madame Blavatsky. She continued her journey as an esotericist, traveller, and writer, passionately advocating for the abolition of vivisection and the welfare of helpless creatures.

‘”I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Victorian society and the off-beat origins of many influential institutions on our lives today. Mystical Vampire presents fascinating ideas, such as the possibility of Annie Besant and Helena Blavatsky being more than just friends, making it a worthwhile investment. For Ripperologists, the sections on Collins and Stephenson alone are worth the price of the book, and there may be other gems in there, so it’s worth buying. Few books are as well-referenced and footnoted as this one, and Ms. Farnell has done an excellent job on her subject, Minna Mabel Collins.” – Howard Brown, Casebook: Jack The Ripper, the Web’s largest Jack The Ripper public archive www.casebook.org

”Kim Farnell has done devotees of gaslight and mediums a service in bringing Mabel’s world back to life.” – Gary Lachman – The Independent On Sunday.
