Krafft Alistair Rhodes


Krafft's memories of the World's Fair.


Transcript:
Krafft: Where to begin... No, not talking about Von List or any of that in Leipzig with Franz. Before all of that...
Krafft: Back to the kernel of the curiosity that led me to... all this. I was a young boy of no more than ten. It was fall...
Krafft: Ghent, a quaint city along the river Leie in Belgium, was hosting the World's Fair.
Krafft: The leaves dancing their way down to the water, the smell of croustillons filling the air... it was... magical. But it wasn't only the setting that drew me in.
Krafft: It was a reading of Francis Barrett's "The Magus" that set its hook in me-- the power, the mystery contained in that book, the demonstrations, the comingling of physics, psychology, the normal and paranormal--
Krafft: Well, I had been... summoned... touched, by something that I couldn't explain, but felt to the core of my being...
Krafft: From that day in Ghent, I knew that this world was but one slice of the realities we are all part of. There is no end to what is beyond this plane of existence, no end to where we can go, or what we can be.
Krafft: It was late when my mother found me badgering the man who performed the reading with question after question...
Krafft: He smiled at her and introduced himself... Alistair Rhodes. Mother thanked him and remarked how she was frightened that she may have lost me.
Krafft: I didn't have the heart to tell her that she actually had.
