Excerpt from The Mystic Thesaurus, or Initiation in the Theoretical and Practical Secrets of Astral Truth and Occult ArtThe following pages contain the original chapter on the Magic Mirror, first published in December, 1897, by myself, in connection with a partner, in a work entitled Agrippa's Natural Magic - a reprint of the first of the three books of Occult Philosophy of Henry Cor helius Agrippa - which I edited and set up in type during the last quarter of that year. In January, 1899, the plates and copyright were purchased by Ernest Loomis, of Chicago, and I joined in the transfer of the copyright with the express understanding (in view of its moral ownership by the Brotherhood of Magic, and further known as the Royal Adepts of Mysticism) that Ishould continue in my right to publish the original chapter entitled, The Magic Mirror - A Message to Mystics, by Direction of the Brotherhood of Magic, containing full instructions on its make and use, the same embracing a prefatory page, made up of a, verse headed A Message from the Stars, under a zenith of light and dark stars. This ornamental constellation is symbolic of the Astral Brotherhood of Magic, and contains the hidden things mentioned in my preface to the book. Testimonial proof of the astral origin of the Mirror chapter is found in the wonderful story of these stars and the hidden things therein which we explain. The Message has been carefully revised and amended, and constitutes. With the exposition of its preliminary star constellation, an initiation in the practical secrets of the realm of mystic truth and art.The Symbol of the Cross - partly an exposition of the dedicatory page of Natural Magic (by courtesy of Mr. Loomis) - is an interesting study in symbolism.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
