Title: March 29 & April 26, 1976 Séances
Description: During the March 29 and April 26, 1976 séances, higher powers (over Ephraim) began revealing the cosmology that Merrill would document in Mirabell: Books of Number and Scripts for the Pageant. It was during this time period, after finishing "The Book of Ephraim," that Merrill realized many more revelations were yet to come. In the March 29 seance, Stephen Yenser is participating with Merrill and Jackson.
