Another book by C W Leadbeater, the Theosophist who discovered J Krishnamurti in 1909 and believed he was the messiah. He wrote The Lives of Alcyone on Krishnamurti’s previous lives. Star names were given to many adepts of the past, and Orion was one such name. This book is the third in the series The Soul’s Growth through Reincarnation. Orion’s lives were investigated in 1907, before Krishnamurti was discovered. But he had a place in the Lives of Alcyone too.
Were these invented stories? Quite likely, but still intriguing.
