Occult Chemistry proposes that the structure chemical elements can be assessed through clairvoyant observations. The observations were carried out between 1895 and 1933. "The book consists both of coordinated and illustrated descriptions of presumed etheric counterparts of the atoms of the then known chemical elements, and of other expositions of occult physics."^[3]

An academic criticism is available in Chapter 2 of Modern Alchemy: Occultism and the Emergence of Atomic Theory^[4] and in an online article from the Chemistry department at Yale University.^[5]
