About Me

Brooke Vermillion is an extraordinary 19th Century woman. She was one of the first women in Britain to become a medical doctor, edited a feminist newspaper, and served as president of the Theosophical Society. She knew Helena P. Blatavsky, Eliphas Levi, and many other primary figures in Occult and Esoteric circles of the time. She is a principled vegetarian and anti-vivisectionist, and opposes foxhunting. She is considered one of the inspirations for the Golden Dawn, a ritual magic secret society which was one of the sources of modern neo-paganism, although she did not live to join it. In particular, the equality of the sexes in the Golden Dawn is acknowledged as her contribution.Brooke Vermillion claimed to be in contact with fairies as a child. As an adult she has had channeled visions, both waking and in lucid dreams, in which she tapped esoteric knowledge imparted by angelic beings, travelled in time, and witnessed shamanistic visions of a vast cosmos alive at every scale of creation. These 'illuminations', as she calls them, are exhausting and sometimes terrifying. Brooke Vermillion now spends most of her time painting shells to resemble crabs.
