Agasha Temple of Wisdom

Agasha Temple of Wisdom

The Agasha Temple of Wisdom is a spiritualist group founded in 1943 by Richard Zenor.

After the publication of James Crenshaw's book "Telephone Between Two Worlds" in 1950, in which both Zenor and the temple were prominently featured, the temple became more popular.

Upon Zenor's death in 1978, Geary Salvat was chosen to lead the group.

Geary Salvat is a follower of both Richard Zenor and of Ayuibbi Tobabu, and he has written a journal of quotes, "Getting Into Gear". He died in 2002.

The group focuses on communicating with the dead through mediums, placing particular attention on receiving and studying the teachings of "master teachers" such as Zenor's "Agatha". These teachings can be summarized by some universal spiritual precepts, including "as you sow, so shall you reap" and the Golden Rule.
