‘Ecce homo’ by Saint-martin – Chapter 3
After a slight delay (visiting France!), here is Chapter 3 of Ecce Homo by Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin. I was staying in Lyon for some of the trip, but managed to avoid the rioting, though a lot was happening right outside the hotel I stayed at for the first two nights! For an explanation see the […]

‘Ecce homo’ by Saint-martin
Over the coming weeks I will be publishing Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin’s book Ecce Homo in installments. At the end of that time I will make the entire tome available as one PDF file. ‘Ecce Homo‘ is Latin for ‘Behold the Man‘. This phrase was used by Pontius Pilate, as we see in John 19. Having […]
The Rectified Scottish Rite by Rémi boyer
“From the Doctrine of Reintegration to the Imago Templi“ The latest of Rémi Boyer’s important books made available to us through the translation skills of Michael Sanborn focuses on the Rectified Scottish Rite. Following on from deeply moving analyses of the Blue Lodge, the Rose Croix and Elias Artista, and Martinism, this book, while not exactly part of […]

While I enjoyed several days of sightseeing in the region, the one omission was of course Scone. There was little point visiting it, even if it is virtually a suburb of Perth, since the Stone of Destiny […]

However, far fewer people are aware that he was a […]
Allegory in Stone: A Short Study of the Shakespeare Monument
It is always refreshing to come across a theory which attempts to tie together number of varying threads. Sadly, like movie critics, the number of those who naysay such attempts without providing any meaningful alternatives are far more common than those who attempt to set new ideas before us. Such a novel theory is the […]
letters to friends of the spirit
A new book which I am sure will be of interest to readers of this blog is Letters to Friends of the Spirit. Written by Rémi Boyer and his wife, Sylvie, it represents two series of 22 letters (no coincidence, of course) adding to 44 letters in all. These letters, each no more than 2 […]
ENLIGHTENMENT MAN & MASON
I am absolutely delighted to announce that my new book is finally out! I had hoped to see it published late last year, but a number of issues conspired to delay it. I hope you like the format, which was wonderfully put together by Steve Adams, which provides an attractive appearance to the book. The […]
