Oahspe is a book by John Ballou Newbrough, first published in 1882. Written in a unique, inspired style, the work claims to have been produced through automatic writing, dictated by spiritual intelligences. Subtitled A New Bible in the Words of Jehovih and His Angel Embassadors, the book presents itself as a sacred text, detailing an elaborate cosmology, spiritual history of Earth and other planets, and the laws governing the spiritual realms. It blends elements of Theosophy, Spiritualism, and reformist religious thought, offering a sweeping vision of humanity’s place in a vast, living universe shaped by divine purpose and hierarchical spiritual orders. The narrative of Oahspe spans thousands of years and purports to reveal previously hidden truths about the cycles of human civilization, the rise and fall of religious systems, and the workings of ethereal worlds beyond human perception. Its content is deeply symbolic and idealistic, urging moral reform, vegetarianism, pacifism, and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment over material pursuits. Though often placed on the fringe of religious literature, Oahspe has cultivated a lasting, if niche, following and continues to intrigue readers interested in metaphysical and alternative spiritual texts.
