The Wolseley Hornet 1960s model
An upmarket version of the Mini
A 1930s Wolseley Hornet sports car
The bodywork for these was made to order by
a coachbuilder
of the customer’s choice and there were
many variations of this car.
The series ran from 1930 to 1935
The
Wolseley Hornet both in its 1930s sports car
incarnation,
and its 1960s posh mini version, has
very
little (in fact nothing) to do with Theosophy
but
we have found that Theosophists and new
enquirers
do like pictures of classic cars
and
we get a lot of positive feedback.

The Ancient Wisdom
by
Annie Besant
Theosophy Wales are pleased to present The Ancient Wisdom , a core work on Theosophy
written in 1897 by an early member and International
President of the Adyar Theosophical Society.
Annie Besant introduces the Work in the following preface;
This book is intended to place in the hands of the general reader an
epitome of theosophical teachings, sufficiently plain to serve the elementary
student, and sufficiently full to lay a sound foundation for further knowledge.
It is hoped that it may serve as an introduction to the profounder works of
H.P.Blavatsky, and be a convenient steppingstone to their study.
Those who have learned a little of the Ancient Wisdom know the
illumination, the peace, the joy, the strength, its lessons have brought into
their lives. That this book may win some to con its teachings, and to prove for
themselves their value, is the prayer with which it is sent forth into the
world.
Annie Besant,
August 1897

MK III
The 1960s Wolseley Hornet was produced by
the British Motor Corporation
(BMC) from 1961 to 1969 and was upgraded
thro’ MKI, II & III models
although the outward design remained the
same.
The Wolseley Hornet was similar to the more
expensive Riley Elf which ran
for the same period with only the Riley
grill and badge to distinguish
it to the casual observer.

A 1931 Wolseley Hornet saloon style
convertible
The Wolseley Hornet was a lightweight
saloon car produced by the Wolseley Motor Company from 1930 to 1935.
It had a six cylinder (1271cc) engine with a single overhead cam, and
hydraulic brakes. The engine was modified in 1932 to make it shorter and it was
moved forwards on the chassis. In 1935 the engine size was increased to
1378 cc.
Wolseley supplied the firsts cars as either an enclosed saloon with steel
or fabric body or open two seater. From 1931 it was available without the
saloon body, and was used as the basis for a number of sporting specials for
which the customer could choose a styling from a range of coachbuilders. In
1932 Wolsley added two and four seat coupés to the range. For its final year of
production the range was rationalised to a standard saloon and coupé.
A three speed gearbox was fitted to the earliest cars but this was upgraded
to a four speed in 1932 and fitted with synchromesh from 1933. A freewheel
mechanism could be ordered in 1934.The engine was also used in a range of MG
cars.

Blavatsky Quotation
Blavatsky Quotation
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 2, Page 100
Blavatsky Quotation
It is only by the attractive force of the contrasts
that the two opposites — Spirit and Matter — can be cemented together on
Earth, and, smelted in the fire of self-conscious experience and suffering, find
themselves wedded in Eternity.
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 2, Page 108
Blavatsky Quotation
Blavatsky Quotation
It is the motive, and the motive alone, which makes
any exercise of power become black, malignant, or white, beneficent Magic. It is
impossible to employ spiritual forces if there is the slightest tinge of
selfishness remaining in the operator .... The powers and forces of animal
nature can equally be used by the selfish and revengeful, as by the unselfish
and the all-forgiving; the powers and forces of spirit lend themselves only to
the perfectly pure in heart — and this is Divine Magic.

Swallow Wolseley Hornet 1932
A leaflet promoting the new hydrolastic
suspension introduced in the mid sixties.
This became standard on many BMC models
including the Mini, 1100, 1300
& 1800 models. Suspension was
maintained by means of a sealed fluid system
which was claimed to be very comfortable
but appeared to make some people
seasick in the larger cars. As the cars got
older, the suspension might burst
causing the car’s suspension to collapse on
one side meaning a difficult
drive home or to a garage.

Annie Besant’s “The Seven Principles of Man” was
written in 1909 and has long been recognized as an authoritative introduction
to the Theosophical model of the visible and invisible aspects of ourselves.
Yes, we all operate at 7 levels
We’re all familiar with the physical body and to some
people the physical body is the whole self.
It is, however, a bit more complicated than that and
can be a bit of a shock for those who identify too closely with the physical
self.
Our physical body represents only the visible
manifestation of ourselves on the physical plane of nature. There are six other
planes of nature and we are all represented on each one. To put in an
appearance we have a body or principle corresponding to each plane. Anne Besant
now takes you through the seven aspects that we all have.
