Throughout the thread of time there have been luminaries in every culture who have provided insights and ideas which both build upon past philosophy and taken those notions forward. The media they used to accomplish this has been varied. Some used philosophical argument, others art, yet others a religious framework to express their visions, whether […]
I am currently in Lyon, enjoying a tour of France which has taken in Occitania and Cathar sites, and now here, where I have followed in the footsteps of Jean-Baptist Willermoz, Joanny Bricaud and Constant Chevillon (of which more in a later blog). I also had the opportunity to establish contact with Mme. Cécile Gotterand, […]
These manuscripts are among the most important pieces of information on the Order of Elect Cohen of the Universe of Martinez de Pasqually. It not only gives us insights into the rituals and praxis of that extraordinary Masonic theurgical group, but also allows us to better understand how it was to live this system through the eyes […]
Pasqually’s Treatise on the Reintegration of Beings into their Original Property, Virtue & Divine, Spiritual Power is the seminal writing to understand the theory behind this extraordinary man’s Masonic Order, the Elus Cohen. While the original document was secretly passed between the Réaux-Croix, or members of the highest Grade of this Order, to be copied […]
“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 […]
The other week I was in Perth, Scotland for the Annual Convocation of the Societas Rosicruciana in Scotia.

There was little point visiting it, even if it is virtually a suburb of Perth, since the Stone of Destiny […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Firstly, my apologies for yet another delay in posting – but as you will see, it will be worth it! And in future you’ll see more regular posts again. The reason was simple: since late July I haven’t stopped moving. In fact, my August month-end Google Maps report congratulated me on visiting 48 different locations […]
