At The Threshold of Mystery: Book 1 of Essays on the Accursed Sciences

At the Threshold of Mystery is a journey through the history and progression of the mystery tradition, from its place in ancient history up to late 19th century France. Throughout the journey, Stanislas de Guaita weaves in his Kabbalistic insight and beautiful glimpses of Rosicrucian Illuminism. The appendix contains an in-depth analysis of two pantacles from the works of Heinrich Khunrath as well as sections pertaining to Martinism, and Rosicrucian Kabbalah. Stanislas de Guaita was a French poet and celebrated Rosicrucian. In 1888 Stanislas founded the Ordre Kabbalistique de la Rose Croix in an effort to revive the French Rosicrucian tradition. He played a fundamental role in the esoteric revival of the late 1800’s and this translation gives you a glimpse into how our spiritual predecessors approached the Rosicrucian tradition.
