Lyuis Spens

Ceyms Lyuis Tomas Çalmers Spens (; ) — Şotlandiya jurnalisti, şairi, yazıçısı, folklorşünası və okkultisti. Spens Böyük Britaniya və İrlandiya Birləşmiş Krallığının Kral Antropologiya İnstitutunun əməkdaşı və Şotlandiya Antropoloji və Folklor Cəmiyyətinin vitse-prezidenti olmuşdur.Brief details of his career are available in the introduction to the 1997 reprint of An Encyclopaedia of Occultism (on-line text ). O, Şotlandiya Milli Hərəkatının qurucusudur.

Şotlandiyada jurnalist kimi karyeraya başladıqdan sonra 1906-cı ildə Spens folklor və mifologiyaya böyük maraq göstərməyə başlamışdır. O, bir kitabda brit ayinlərini və ənənələrini təsvir etmişdir. Spens kitabda qədim britonların Şimali Afrikadan köçmüş, ehtimal ki, bərbər və ya bask mənşəli insanlardan törədiyini irəli sürmüşdür. Bundan sonra Spens əsasən Meksika və Mərkəzi Amerika mifologiyasına diqqət yetirmişdir.

 The Problem of Atlantis, London, 1924The reviewer R.N.R.B. in The Geographical Journal 64.2 (August 1924:181-182) remarked that "in reading this book one cannot help feeling that the author believes more than the evidence warrants" and that "he is rash in stating that there is proof that Greenland has moved 2500 yards in forty years."

 The Problem of Lemuria: The Sunken Continent of the Pacific, London: Rider & Co., 1932The reviewer O.R. in The Geographical Journal 81.2 (February 1933:181-182) found Spence's evidences well marshalled and noted that biological and geological evidences were set aside as conflicting with Spence's view that a fair-complexioned race "remarkable chiefly for their arcane knowledge and their prowess as builders" inhabited now-sunken lands of the Pacific; the reviewer notes Spence's lack of bibliography and casual references to books whose titles he rarely offers.
