Alexander Cannon Himalayas Lodge Master
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Alexander Cannon (1896-1963), a man who claimed to be the Master of the Great White Lodge of the Himalayas. Cannon, an Englishman, gained notoriety in the early 20th century for his purported spiritual connections to the ancient Tibetan order. He claimed to have spent years in seclusion in the Himalayas, studying under the guidance of Tibetan lamas. Upon his return to the West, Cannon began to give lectures and hold séances, attracting a devoted following. He claimed to possess the ability to communicate with the dead and to perform miracles. His teachings blended Eastern spirituality with Western esotericism, and he became a popular figure in the Theosophical and spiritualist movements. Despite the skepticism of many, Cannon's charisma and enigmatic persona drew people to him. He was known for his striking appearance, with piercing blue eyes and a long white beard. In this photograph, taken in the 1930s, Cannon is seen seated in a meditative pose, his eyes closed in deep concentration. The backdrop of the image is a simple, rustic setting, adding to the sense of mystery and otherworldliness. Cannon's legacy remains a subject of fascination for students of spirituality and esoteric traditions. Some view him as a genuine spiritual teacher, while others see him as a charlatan. Regardless of one's perspective, there is no denying the impact that Alexander Cannon had on the spiritual landscape of the 20th century.
