Gaia, a living and conscious being, must be protected in her work The Gaia Dialogues.[1][2]

Murry Hope (17 September 1929 – 25 October 2012)[3][4] was an English writer and occultist. Considered[3][5] a Wiccan priestess[1][6] and a New Age author,[7][8] she wrote sundry books on the topics of psychology, human consciousness, the future of planet Earth, witchcraft, the Sirius star system, et al.[3][5][6][7][9]

Early life

Hope's mother left her after she was born and her father died of throat cancer at a very early age. She was raised by her nurse, Rhoda Adams. A bomb killed her nanny in 1945, leaving her in the care of Adams's husband and niece who were in the country at the time. At 19 Hope was a member of the

British Legion.[8]

Opera career

Hope studied voice, taking lessons with a teacher from the

Paris Conservatoire and in London had a small part in West End production for two years. She received an opera scholarship at the Royal College of Music where she stayed for three years, then joined the English National Opera. Her premiere was the mystical opera The Magic Flute.[8]

Occult and writing

In 1957 she co-founded the Atlanteans Society with Tony Neate, a healing and spiritual group at

Pagan beliefs.[1]

In 1977 Hope had her alleged psychic abilities tested by a doctor from

Cambridge University under the supervision of the broadcaster BBC and obtained good results. Hope claimed to remember her past lives including not being human by belonging to the devic kingdom.[10]

In her esoteric essays Hope created the

deck with symbols. The same year Hope and Jed Collard founded Ostaris Publications which produced 3,000 decks of these cards with accompanying guide book. The decks sold well, drawing a business transaction between Jed Collard and the American book publisher St. Martin's Press. Following this success, oversized cards and a larger guidance book were printed by St. Martins.[13]
Her final contribution was the book The Way of Cartouche, published in 1985.

In 1988 Hope founded the Institute of Transpersonal Sensitivity in America,[14] intending to establish a relation between transpersonal experience and the approved schools of psychology.[3]

Personal life

Hope married four times; she had no children.

Death

Murry Hope died 25 October 2012 in Emsworth, West Sussex, aged 83.[4] Her remains were cremated at the Chichester Crematorium on 12 November 2012.

Egyptian goddess Bastet, a possible representation of leonine beings from Sirius star system, surmises Murry Hope.[15]

Themes

Hope's frequent themes, including "the roots of ancient Egyptian civilization",[16][17] are explored through books like Ancient Egypt: The Sirius Connection of 1991, The Paschats and the Crystal People of 1992 and others. There she calls attention to the knowledge possessed by North African tribes, namely the Dogons,[18] and conducts the reader on a trip across an alleged alien legacy descended from the "tri-star system of Sirius".[9][19] She claims that beryl stone represents the Sirius star system and emerald the "Sirius C star", which create a cosmic link between initiates from Egyptian and stellar energies. Later on she examines the nature of leonine entities from Sirius called Paschats which, conjectures Hope, through the lion goddess Bastet were worshiped in Egypt.[15][20]

Particularly in The Gaia Dialogues (1995), Hope defends the natural world asserting that the Earth (Gaia) is a conscious being, a living entity who is shifting its magnetic poles as part of a plan to defend itself from desolation caused by its human children.[2]
