[SPIRITUALISM] KILNASCRENE CLAIRVOYANCE/AURA GOGGLES. London: London Psychic Educational Centre, ca. 1938. A set of blue-tinted goggled with wire rims lined in brown fur or fabric, and the original elastic headband terminating in wire clips. With original box (worn) stamped in silver with the text “Kilnascrene” Develops Clairvoyance” on the lid. Scarce. The properties of these goggles, invented by spiritualist Harry Boddington to train the wearer to see a subject’s aura, were first demonstrated in London in 1936. The blue lenses were not meant to help the user focus on an aura, but rather train the eyes so that an aura would become visible when the goggles were not in use.
