ODYLIC FORCE , a term
drawn
Reichenbach of a so-called new " imponderable " or " influence " developed by certain crystals, magnets, the human body
the universe, to which he gave the name of odyl. Persons sensitive to odyl saw luminous phenomena near the poles of magnets, or even around the hands or heads of certain persons in whose bodies the force was supposed to he concentrated. In Britain an impetus was given to this view of the subject by the translation
Reichenbach 's Researches on Magnetism, &c., in relation to Vital Force, by Dr Gregory, professor of chemistry in the university of Edinburgh. These Researches show many of the phenomena to be of the same nature as those described previously by F. A. Mesmer, and even long before Mesmer's time by Swedenborg .End of Article: ODYLIC FORCE If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
