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 […]
The other week I was in Perth, Scotland for the Annual Convocation of the Societas Rosicruciana in Scotia. 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 […]
Most people know that Éliphas Lévi (or Alphonse Louis Constant) was a clergyman who wrote a large number of very influential books on esoteric topics, and that he was a major influence on the occult revival of the 19th Century, particularly in England and France.

The original idea for the book came from Michael Osborn, who noted that little had been covered – in English at least – since Manly P. Hall’s book on the subject back in […]
This extraordinary book is the third in the series by Rémi Boyer, expertly translated by Michael Sanborn, completing the Ways of Awakening series which previously looked at Freemasonry and Martinism, in which he takes a characteristic look at this third method of approaching The Journey known to all who aspire to the Source. Beneath 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 […]
