The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, active in the last decades of the
19th century, was the only order of its time that taught practical
occultism in the Western Mystery Tradition. This is the first complete
and un-distorted account, tracing the origins, founders, and practices of
this very secretive order, which counted among its members many of the
well-known figures of late 19th century occultism, spiritualism, and
Theosophy, including Max Theon, Peter Davidson, Thomas Henry Burgoyne
and Paschal Beverly Randolph.
This scholarly work provides all the
materials for revisioning the history, assigning the Hermetic
Brotherhood of Luxor its rightful place as one of the most influential
esoteric orders of its time.
