Journeys to the Planet Mars; or, Our Mission to Ento

A spirit-mediated account relates exploratory voyages to Mars, called Ento, combining travel narrative with ethnographic description of landscapes, cities, language and artistic life. The narrators describe valleys, lakes and dwellings, explain Entoan speech and greetings, and report encounters with spirit-guides who offer lessons on re-embodiment, spiritualized humanity and moral instruction. Interspersed are observations comparing Entoan society to regions of Earth, notes on natural resources and precious stones, and reflections on the mission's objectives and ultimate resolution for both visitors and those remaining on Earth.
