JAMES CHURCHWARD'S THEORIES OF LEMURIA
James Churchward created a series of popular books on the subject of Mu, or Lemuria. He had adopted ideas from Augustus LePlongeon concerning an apocryphal group of people called the Naacals, who ostensibly created a number of tablets delineating concepts relating to the culture of the people of Mu.
The idea of a lost Lemurian continent was first outlined by a conventional zoologist, Philip Schater, in 1864. He theorized that Madagascarian lemurs traveled to the Indian mainland via a now sunken land mass In the Indian Ocean.
In India this concept has been popularized by Hindu theorists who postulate that the people of this sunken land mass were related to the Tamil people of India as well as the Australian Aborigines. An old Tamil Purana talks about Kumari Kandam, a sunken land, which today is equated with Lemuria.

Churchward's map of Atlantis and Lemuria appears on the cover that I created above. Mt. Shasta, California, is known for having many people who are fond advocates of the Lemurian concept. In the 1930's a Roscicrucian text describing Lemuria was very popular at Mt. Shasta. Tales of Lemurians living inside the mountain or even coming down from the mountain to purchase things in town are a part of Shasta folklore.
Little known to many people, Lemurs, a small animal known to live in Madagascar has close cousins who live in California, Texas and Mexico. In this region they are called 'ringtailed cats.' The ringtailed cat is the state mammal of the State of Arizona.
Mt. Shasta is just one area where these
lemurs are indigenous
The article below speculates that lemurs
may have originated in Pakistan:
Scientists disagree as to the origin of lemurs. Some say that they originated in Africa....recently fossil remains have been unearthed in Pakistan. There are many species of lemurs. Wikipedia notes that Mesoamerican lemurs (the ringtailed cats) are distantly related to Asiatic civet cats. The ringtailed cats are found as far south as Panama and Northern South America. Civet cats are found around the world....and a species exists in Siberia. So for those who might speculate on how civet cats could have reached the Americas across the Bering Land Bridge, here there is food for thought.

HELENE BLAVATSKY'S POPULARIZATION OF THE LEMURIAN LEGEND
Blavatsky, the founder of the Theosophical Society, is responsible for promulgating Philip Schater's Lemurian ideas. Her extensive metaphysical writings include an analysis of ancient history, paleontology, alchemy, yoga, etc.
She spoke a lot about a group of ancient initiates who she called 'Ascended Masters' who work from the other planes to aid human evolution.
The stamp cover above shows an old 'photo' (what today we would call a 'photoshop' image) of Blavatsky and a number of these Masters. In Hinduism and Buddhism, the concept of 'ascended masters' is generally accepted as a matter of course. In Christianity Jesus is an example of an ascended master.
The master St. Germain, who was a French alchemist, appears on the cancellation used on my fantasy stamp cover.

CHARLES LEADBEATER & ANNIE BESANT
Leadbeater was a writer of many books about the Ascended Masters. In conjunction with Annie Besant, he wrote a book called 'Thought Forms,' a text that demonstrates that human thoughts and emotions actually form distinctive colors and shapes that can be seen by the inner eye of sensitives.
The illustrations in this book profoundly affected 20th century Art History, as Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian born Theosophist, used these images as major inspiration in his art, said by many to be the first modern abstract paintings.
Annie Besant used to refer to Lemuria by it's Hindu name, Shalmali, as she worked in India for many years. She wrote a forward to one of Rudolf Steiner's books on Atlantis and Lemuria.

AUGUSTUS LE PLONGEON, PIONEER OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL SCIENCE
Le Plongeon, late in the 19th century, traveled to Mexico, where he studied Mayan ruins and hieroglyphs. He speculated widely about cultural diffusion.
He postulated that Mayan civilization was spread through Atlantis to Egypt, seeing Maya country as the cradle of civilization. His ideas influenced Ignatius Donnelly and Helene Blavatsky. He met James Churchward, and their discussions gave rise to Churchward's theories of Mu.

Theophrastus Bombastus Paracelsus was a Renaissance alchemist who first conceptualized the 'Sylph' or spirit of the air.
He rejected the medieval concept of the four elements, earth, air, fire and water.....and speculated that there were many more elements in nature than this.....Eventually this lead to the invention of the modern Periodic Table of the Elements.
