Confessions of Jacob Boehme (180 pp)
Introduction by Evelyn Underhill. "Jacob Boehme, who reveals
to us in this book some of the secrets of his inner life, was
among the most original of the great Christian mystics.
With a natural genius for the things of the spirit, he also
exhibited many of the characteristics of the psychic, the seer,
and the metaphysician; and his influence on philosophy has been
at least as great as his influence on religious
mysticism."

Dialogues on the Supersensual Life (180 pp)
Edited by William Law. "The Soul, in the doctrine of
Boehme, is a Being which has a will or desire, and is aided by a
mirror of understanding or imagination. Will or Desire is
of the very essence of the Soul, inseparable from its
existence. He says: 'Where Desire is, there is also
Essence or Being.' The Soul is subject to the diverse
attractions of the Centre of Divine Life and Light, and of the
Spirit of the World. Enlightened by its understanding it
has the free power to turn its will towards, and unite itself to,
this or that. 'Choose well, thy choice is brief and yet
endless.'"

Forty Questions of the Soul (364 pp)
Sparrow, John. "The author wrote this answer to these
questions, chiefly for his friend's sake that sent them to
him, as also for the benefit of all such as love the knowledge of
Mysteries: this friend who traveled for learning and hidden
wisdom, and in his return home, happened to hear of this author
in the city of Gorlitz; and when he had obtained acquaintance
with him, he rejoiced, that at last he had found at home, in a
poor cottage, that which he had traveled for so far, and not
received satisfaction: then he went to the several
universities in Germany, and did there collect such questions
concerning the soul, as were thought and accounted impossible to
be resolved fundamentally and convincingly; which he made this
catalog of, and sent to this author, from whom he received these
answers according to his desire, wherein he and many others that
saw them received full satisfaction.

its ground in this book: I. We will signify and declare what the

divine manifestation is. III. How evil and good have their
original from one only ground. IV. How all things have
their ground from the Grand Mystery. V. How the eternal One
introduceth itself into sensation, perception, and severation, to
the science of itself, and the play of the divine power.
VI. How man may attain to the true knowledge of God, and to the
knowledge of the eternal and temporal nature. VII. Also how
man may come unto the real contemplation of the Being of all
beings. VIII. Also of the creation of the world and of all
creatures. IX. And then of the original, fall, and
restoration of man; what he is according to the first Adamical
man in the kingdom of nature: and what he is in the new
regeneration in the kingdom of grace, and how the new birth comes
to pass. X. Also what the Old and New Testaments are, each
in its understanding. And we will enlarge this exposition

how the Old Testament is a figure of the New."

Cockren, A.
Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored (154 pp)
"The object of this book is to place before the reader in
language as simple as possible the story of alchemy.
Because the literature on this science has ever been an enigma to
both the scientific and the lay mind, it is the earnest desire of
the author to present it stripped of its symbolism, and to give
some indication of its processes, its achievements, and its
possibilities. He wishes to show that this science is the
Law operating behind all Manifestation in Man; Man that is in his
entirety, physical, mental, and spiritual, and to demonstrate how
it is bound up in the further evolution and unfoldment of the
race, for without this understanding the vision of Man made
perfect is impossible." This is an excellent primer
for anyone interested in alchemy.

Cooper-Oakley, Isabel
Masonry and Medieval Mysticism: Traces of a Hidden Tradition
(1900) (192 pp)
In this book first published in 1900, Isabel Cooper Oakley has
gathered together extensive source material in presenting this
history of mysticism in Medieval Europe. The survey covers
some eighteen hundred years, and shows with documented evidence a
definite link between the seemingly divergent occult schools and
brotherhoods that flourished, and that the source of their
knowledge lay in Ancient India, the home of Brahma Vidya or
esoteric science. Gradually over the years visiting seers
and teachers brought this wisdom to Egypt, Persia and Greece,
which was given expression in the great mystery schools and
temples. A vast tapestry of the spiritual life is unfolded
before us, the Gnostic sects who founded Christianity, the famous
occult schools of Averroes and the Arabian mystics in Toledo, the
Alchemists and Rosicrucians, and the Grail Legend, preserved in
times of religious persecution by the troubadours whose
allegorical songs were a feature of the royal courts, and the
Knights Templars who designed and built the Gothic
cathedrals.

Flammel, Nicholas
Hieroglyphical Figures: Concerning both the Theory and
Practice of the Philosophers Stone (1624) (62 pp)
Which He Caused to be Painted Upon an Arch in St. Innocents
Church Yard in Paris. Only 100 copies of this elusive book
were ever printed until now. Introduction by W.W.
Westcott. Flammel was certainly one of the most captivating
figures in alchemy. Because he mastered the art of alchemy,
his vast wealth and charities surpassed anything known in his
time. Contained in this vary rare book is the symbolism and
allusions to the inner meanings contained within the powerful
symbols that yielded their ancient secrets to him. Many
alchemists insist that this is one of the most important
alchemical works ever written. Long out-of-print, it's
reprinting will satisfy the yearning for those seeking the
Philosopher's Stone. (Due to the age and scarcity of this
rare book, some of the pages are light although the text is

which will turn to us that inward one, which, with noon day

Doctrine of the Subtle Body in Western Tradition (114 pp)
"The notion that the physical body of man is as it were the
exteriorization of an invisible subtle embodiment of the life of
the mind is a very ancient belief. It is however, the
prevailing habit of skeptical rationalism of the present day to
dismiss summarily all such beliefs of antiquity as the baseless
dreams of a prescientific age, and to dump them all
indiscriminately into the midden of exploded superstitions.
Not only do the acute intellects who upheld it in the past,
dispose one to a favorable consideration of their plea; but I am
persuaded that, the more deeply modern research penetrates into
the more recondite regions of biology, psycho-physiology and
psychology, the more readily will reason be inclined to welcome
the notion as a fertile working hypothesis to co-ordinate a
considerable number of the mental, vital and physical phenomena
of human personality which otherwise remain on our hands as a
confused and inexplicable conglomerate." Contents: The

nor of a theologian, but of a friendly spectator, who, as a
devoted lover of both Science and Religion, has no partisan
interest to serve, and, as a believer in the blessings of that
true tolerance which permits perfect liberty in all matters of
opinion and belief, has no desire to dictate to others what their
decision should be on any one of the many controversial points
touched upon." Contents: A Glimpse at the

fields of science. The alchemist is first considered
realistically in relation to his working background of alchemy,
with its intriguing theories and conceptions, its vast
literature, and its wealth of cryptic expression and pictorial
symbolism." Contents: Alchemy and Alchemists: Nature

Doctrine and Literature of the Kabalah (528 pp)
"From whatever point of view it may be approached, the
Kabalah is of importance: it connects with literatures which are
greater than itself and with pregnant issues of history. It
is part of the history of philosophy, and as such it once entered
into the thought of Europe. It is responsible, broadly
speaking, for all that strange tissue of symbolism and ceremonial
which made up the magic of the Middle Ages; at a later period it
sought to transform alchemy; it tinctured many of those
conventional practices and beliefs which we term superstition
generically, and the guise in which we know them is therefore
chiefly a Kabalistic guise." Contents: Post-Christian
Literature of the Jews; Doctrinal Content of the Kabalah; Source
and Authority of the Kabalah; Written Word of Kabalism First,
Second and Third Period; Some Christian Students of the Kabalah,

armor, but journeys of the spirit." Contents: The Holy

Magical Writings of Thomas Vaughan (Eugenius Philalethes) (194
pp)
A Verbatim Reprint of His First Four treatises; Anthroposophia
Theomagica; Anima Magica Abscondita; Magia Adamica; and the True
Coelum Terrae. "The Magical Writings of Thomas Vaughan
constitute an explanatory prolegomena not only to the general
history of practical transcendentalism, and to the philosophy of
transcendental art, from the standpoint of a Christian initiate,
but they are special directed to the interpretation of alchemical
symbolism; they claim to provide the intelligent reader with a
substantially fresh revelation of that mysterious First Matter of
the Magnum Opus. Thomas Vaughan enlarges the theoretical
scope of alchemical processes, and delineates the spiritual
evolution of humanity."

Secret Tradition in Freemasonry (1911) (962 pp)
In his autobiographical book, SHADOWS IN LIFE AND THOUGHT, Waite
commented, "The volumes appeared in 1911, and so far as my
knowledge goes, they formed-in respect of production-the most
beautiful work which has ever been issued in any land or language
on the Masonic Subject." This is NOT an early edition
of Waite's other work by the same name. Contents:

Secret Tradition in Freemasonry (1937) (722 pp)
This was Waite's last book and is THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK
EVER WRITTEN ON THE ESOTERIC ASPECTS OF FREEMASONRY.
"I am not offering in this book a revised edition of two
volumes which appeared under the same title so far back as
1911. It is so altered, extended and transformed that it
may claim to be a new undertaking and to supersede in fact that
which it preserves in name." Waite not only reedited
and radically restructured the two volume edition, but he
incorporated much of his Emblematic Freemasonry (1925) that it
might, as he said, supersede the previous work. This was
Waite's last and (in his opinion) most important work on
Freemasonry. Contents: Creative and Emblematic Freemasonry;
Craft Degrees and Their Connections; Second Holy House; New
Alliance in Freemasonry; Quest in Christian Ritual; Masonic
Orders of Chivalry Apart from Templar Grades; Templar Grades of
Freemasonry; Of Alchemy in Masonry; Of Magical and Kabbalistical
Degrees; The Growth of Masonic Tradition; Freemasonry and the
French Revolution; Mysteries on their Mystical Side.
