Vardo/gr
Vardo/gr
A psychic double or forerunner that appears in advance to announce the arrival of an individual. Sometimes it may manifest simply as familiar sounds associated with the individual concerned. Occasionally it may appear to the individual himself or herself, as in the celebrated experience of the great German poet Johann Goethe, who met his double on the road to Drusenheim dressed in a garment which Goethe was to wear by accident eight years later on the same route. Little has been published on the curious phenomenon of the vardo / gr apart from an article in 1917 by Wiers Jensen, editor of the Norwegian Journal of Psychical Research.
