Sepher Yetzirah

The Hermetic Arcanum (Arcanum Hermeticum) was originally written in Latin and published in 1623 by Jean d'Espagnet, signed using the motto "Penes nos unda Tagi". Espagnet was an Alchemist and Mystic, and the Arcanum describes the procedure of one school of Alchemists in the search for the secret of the Philosopher's Stone. || The Collectanea Hermetica is a 10 volume set of Occult Hermetic books edited by William Wynn Westcott. The volumes are as follows: 1) Hermetic Arcanum, 2) The Divine Pymander, 3) A Short Enquiry Concerning the Hermetic Art, 4) �sch Mezareph, 5) Somnium Scipionis, 6) Chald�an Oracles of Zoroaster, 7) Euphrates, or the Waters of the East, 8) Egyptian Magic, 9) Numbers, 10) Sepher Yetzirah. || The volumes include several original translations, commentaries, and copious notes. It is a valuable resource for all students of Hermeticism, Alchemy, Kabalah and western esotericism in general.

The Secret Work of the Hermetic Philosophy

Hermetic Arcanum

The "Sepher Yetzirah," or "Book of Formation," is perhaps the oldest Rabbinical treatise of Kabalistic philosophy which is still extant, but it is not in any sense a narrative of Creation, or a substitute Genesis, but is an ancient and instructive philosophical treatise upon one aspect of the origin of the universe and mankind; an aspect at once archaic and essentially Hebrew. || The Collectanea Hermetica is a 10 volume set of Occult Hermetic books edited by William Wynn Westcott. The volumes are as follows: 1) Hermetic Arcanum, 2) The Divine Pymander, 3) A Short Enquiry Concerning the Hermetic Art, 4) �sch Mezareph, 5) Somnium Scipionis, 6) Chald�an Oracles of Zoroaster, 7) Euphrates, or the Waters of the East, 8) Egyptian Magic, 9) Numbers, 10) Sepher Yetzirah. || The volumes include several original translations, commentaries, and copious notes.

The Book of Formation

First published in 1896, "The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum" is an interesting dissertation on the ruling of the world by the seven great archangels written by Éliphas Lévi, (1810 - 1875), a French author of occult literature and ceremonial magician. In this vintage volume, Lévi outlines how the world is ruled by one of the seven archangels, each for a period of 354 years. The archangels are represented by celestial bodies, with Michael being the sun, Gabriel being the moon, Samael, Mars, etc. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in the occult, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage esoteric literature. Contents include: "The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum", "The Priestess - La Papesse", "The Empress - L'imperatrice", "The Emperor", "L'Emereur", "The Pope of Hierophant - Le Pape", "The Lovers - L'amoureux", "The Chariot of Hermes - Le Chariot", "Justice - La Justice", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

We must remember that Rosicrucianism itself was "no new thing" but only a revival of still earlier forms of Initiation, and was a lineal descendant of the Philosophies of the Chaldean Magi, of the Egyptian priests, of the Neo-Platonists, of the Hermetists.
