Butler (1898-1978) was one of the most practically grounded figures in twentieth-century British occultism, a former member of Dion Fortune's Society of the Inner Light and later co-founder of the Servants of the Light. How to Read the Aura is a compact methodical guide to understanding the luminous field that occult theory holds surrounds all living beings: its layers, colours, and diagnostic significance in terms of physical health, emotional state, and spiritual development. Butler covers techniques for developing auric sight, management of psychic energy, the phenomenon of psychic vampirism, and the relationship between the etheric double and the material body.
