The Spear of Destiny: the occult power behind the spear which pierced the side of Christ is a 1972 occult book by the anthroposophist writer Trevor Ravenscroft (1921–1989) about the Holy Lance, published by Neville Armstrong's Neville Spearman Publishers.[1] Ravenscroft claimed that the book was based on research "by using mystical meditation" and on the papers of the Austrian anthroposophist Walter Stein given to Ravenscroft by his widow.[2][3] Ravenscroft originally claimed to have met Stein, but later only claimed contact through a medium with Walter Stein's spirit.[4]
