THE LIGHT OF EGYPT
PUBLISHER'S PREFACE
No explanation is thought necessary； further than to corroborate the
author in all he has said in his somewhat unusual preface。
We have enjoyed； immensely； our work of giving to the world this
remarkable series of books on Occultism； and appreciate the large
patronage they have received from the reading public； for which we return
our sincere thanks。 We hope the near future will give us the work referred
to by the author in his preface； as doubtless it will be a great revelation of
Occult laws that govern our little Earth in its relation to our Sun and solar
system； of which it forms a part； and give much light on those subjects that
have been shrouded in mystery。
〃The Light of Egypt〃 will be found to be an Occult library in itself； a
textbook of esoteric knowledge； setting forth the 〃wisdom Religion〃 of
life； as taught by the Adepts of Hermetic Philosophy。 It will richly repay
all who are seeking the higher life to carefully study this book； as it
contains in a nutshell the wisdom of the ages regarding man and his
destiny； here and hereafter。 The London and American first edition； also
the French edition； Vol。 I； met with lively criticism from Blavatsky
Theosophists； because it annihilates that agreeable delusion of 〃Karma〃
and 〃Reincarnation〃 from the minds of all lovers of truth for truth's sake。
〃The Tablets of Aeth〃 is a great and mighty work； as it contains the
very quintessence of Occult and Hermetic philosophy； as revealed by
spiritual law。 〃Penetralia〃 is a new revelation； and invaluable to Occult
students； as it is the personal experience of a developed soul。
To all lovers of Truth we respectfully recommend this Book of Books；
as it has justly been called by many who are competent to criticise its
teachings。 It was the author's wish that his name be withheld from the
public； knowing full well that the teachings contained in his works will
prove his motto： 〃Omnia Vincit Veritas。〃
Now that our author has passed beyond the power of the world to
flatter or condemn； and has given his thought for the uplifting of the
human family； it is but simple justice that he be made known to the world
as its teacher of a higher thought than has preceded him。 He shrank from

public notoriety； and modestly refused to be publicly known to the world
as one of its spiritual leaders for the cycle upon which the Earth and its
inhabitants have entered； but the time has come to announce publicly the
authorship of the works published anonymously under the symbol of ｛｝；
and his writings are to be judged by their merits； and not by prejudice nor
personal bias as viewed from the human plane of life。
He moved in the world； comparatively unknown to the world at large；
and his greatest friends； though mystified； did not understand his true
worth in spiritual greatness。 The mask； or person； often hides from view
the angel in disguise。 Therefore our author must be judged by what he has
written； and not by his personators and calumniators。 The true student of
Occultism always judges the tree by its fruits。 If the writings of our author
are judged by this standard； they will stand as a beacon light to higher
rounds than ours。

PREFACE
These lessons were issued to a few of my pupils as 〃Private Studies in
Occultism；〃 several years ago。 The time has now come to give them to the
world as a companion to the first volume of 〃The Light of Egypt。〃
It is the duty of Occult students to familiarize themselves with the
subjects herein discussed。 They should know the ideas of our ancestors
regarding them and be familiar with their thought； in order to appreciate
the sublime wisdom and knowledge of Nature as taught by them；
otherwise we are sure to do them； as well as ourselves； great injustice。 The
history of Occultism bears out the fact that there is very little that is new to
the present time。
The arrangement and classification of thought differs during each
cycle of time on the different spirals； and； like the fruitage on lower
rounds of Nature's progressive wheel of destiny； variety and quality are
diverse； so； likewise； do we find the mental manifestations。 This age；
however； is blessed with a great variety and abundance of thought； in
clear…cut language； that should enlighten the races of the Earth with
Mother Nature's modus operandi in every department of human thought。
We hope these chapters will aid to this end； and doubtless many
students will find in them the key to unlock the mysteries veiled in symbol
and hieroglyphic by ancient writers。 The author's object has been to make
plain and easy of understanding these subjects。 Much； however； has been
left for private study and research； for many large volumes might be filled
if a detailed description of each subject were entered upon； which task is
left for those who feel so inclined。 A rich reward is in store for those
spiritual investigators who will follow out the paths and lines herein
mapped out on Spiritual Astrology； Alchemy； and other subjects。
Meditation and aspiration will open up hidden treasures that will prove a
boon to Occult students； for Astrology and Alchemy are the two grand
sciences that explain the why and reasons for what we see and experience
on every plane of life。 In this age there should be no concealing of these
Divine truths。 We cannot hide anything in the air； and for this reason the
Sun in Aquarius will unearth and reveal to man all that the present cycle

has to give during the Sun's passage through this airy sign。
The watery sign； Pisces； through which the Sun manifested during the
past 2；160 years； gave up to man their secret powers and hidden attributes
in steam as a motive power； which man has completely mastered。 He will
likewise master the airy forces during the present sub…cycle of the Sun in
Aquarius。 Already we see him using li
