After Romanticist sculptor and phrenologist Simon Ganneau was visited by
the spirit of his recently deceased wife, he founded the Evadamiste
movement, proclaiming the
coming new age, heralded by the androgenous male-female deity Evadam: a hybrid of occultism, gnosticism, feminism, and utopian
socialism. Though small, the movement lasted for twenty years and at one
time counted many influential activists and occultists among its
adherents, including Eliphas Levi, Flora Tristan, Alphonse Esquiros, and
Alexandre Dumas.
