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 Women's Royal Air Force. In 1951 she was working for the Officer's Association 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 Malvern Hills, England, that aimed to treat issues such as exorcism and mental disorders.[5] By that time Hope wrote a seasonal column for Prediction magazine, a periodical oriented towards mystical subjects, where she used to sign the pseudonym Athene Williams. In 1975 Hope left the association claiming incompatibility between the predominant Christian layout settled amidst Atlanteans and her 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 Cartouche, a method of divination which used cards that she claimed heightened levels of awareness.[11] based on symbols of energies on the monuments and walls of various Egyptian temples.[12] She contracted Martin Jones in 1983 to develop artwork for 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]
