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

THE LIGHT OF EGYPT

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.

THE LIGHT OF EGYPT

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

THE LIGHT OF EGYPT

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 liquid air and compressed air as a

motive power, which will gradually take the place of steam as the Sun gets

farther into the sign, or constellation, of Aquarius. Men will become

immensely wiser than they have been, and it is to be hoped they will leave

the written record of their achievements in science and art to show to

future races their status of mind on every subject for the edification and

enlightenment of coming races.

Our ancestors were denied this great privilege. Consequently their

wisdom is only symbolized to us in a way that it is difficult to read and

interpret correctly, yet we who have the key to their symbols can read

accurately the truth they wish to convey, which stands out clearly to all

capable of understanding and interpreting symbolism and correspondence

correctly. History and Nature repeat themselves in every cycle of time;

therefore these forces and potentialities are natural to the sign through

which the Sun manifests. We can go backward or forward through the

Sun's Zodiac and read correctly the history of the hoary past, as well as the

present and future, by bearing in mind the sign and cycle in manifestation

at any given period. When the proper time arrives, a work will be given to

the world to prove to mankind the law of cycles.

God is present in all ages and races, manifesting His love and wisdom

throughout infinite creations, and that He records, in His own way, the

most detailed record of any event which takes place, thus giving to man a

complete history of His works and will, for man's enlightenment, so that

he, too, may cooperate intelligently with his God in every way that

intelligence wills to manifest. Prehistoric history is not blotted out from

Nature's laboratory. The Astral Book of Karmic evolution will one day

reveal its hidden treasures to a waiting world in such a manner as to

surprise and enlighten mankind as the recording angels give up those gems

of truth they have so jealously guarded for untold cycles of time, simply

THE LIGHT OF EGYPT

because the time was not ripe for its divulgence.

There is a time for everything, and when that time arrives all past

history of our planet's evolution will be written in an intelligent manner

for the illumination and education of man as the masterpiece of the Living

God. In this way man will worship Deity and perfect his God-nature, even

to Angel-hood.

If this volume of "The Light of Egypt" meets with the same

appreciation that was accorded the first volume, which has passed through

four editions, and is still growing in favor every day (besides being

translated into the French), the author will feel that his efforts have not

been wasted, and he trusts the race will have been made better for having

read his writings.

As this is his posthumous contribution to the world, the author wishes,

in this connection, to pay a debt of gratitude and grateful recognition to his

esteemed pupil and friend, Dr. Henry Wagner, who has so generously

published nearly all of his writings. Without his aid and assistance we

would not have been able, of ourselves, to have given these works to the

world. Therefore, honor to whom honor is due.

Mrs. Belle M. Wagner has been chosen by the Masters as my spiritual

successor and representative of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, and

thus perpetuate the chain of outward connection between those in the

realm of the higher life with those upon the outward plane.

She is our choice, and a most worthy one to take my place.

I make this statement in this connection for the benefit of my pupils

and Hermetic students generally, as I am being personated by frauds and

imposters, claiming to be Zanoni. Verbam sap.

It is my request that a fac-simile of my signature and symbol

accompany this preface.

Dictated by the author from the subjective plane of life (to which he

ascended several years ago) through the law of mental transfer, well

known to all Occultists, he is enabled again to speak with those who are

still upon the objective plane of life.

The additions found in this volume, not in the original manuscripts,

have been supplied in this manner. The two planes of life, the objective

THE LIGHT OF EGYPT

and subjective, are scientific facts, no longer disputed by well-informed

minds, and the exchange of thought will become almost universal among

educated minds during the present cycle. Hence great progress will come

to the Earth during the next 2,160 years, while the Sun manifests his

glorious influence through the symbol of the Man.

Thanking each and all who have aided in any way to give my writings

to the world, I am, in love and fraternal greetings, ever yours. Omnia

Vincit Veritas.

THE LIGHT OF EGYPT

INTRODUCTION TO VOL. II

What study is more sublime, inspiring and profitable, in the highest

sense, than the "language of the stars"--those silent monitors of the

midnight sky, who reveal HIS WILL as secondary causes in the

administration of universal law? The science of the stars is the Divine

parent of all science.

The more earnest our study, the more recondite our research and

thorough our investigation of the "Science of the Stars," the more fully

shall we realize the truth of the teacher's words: "Astrology is the key that

opens the door to all occult knowledge." It is the key that unlocks the

mysteries of man's being; his why, whence, whither. Within the temple of

Urania lies concealed the mystery of life. The indices are there, written by

the finger of the Infinite in the heavens above.

It is our privilege to make this language our own, and it should be the

earnest work of every true student of Nature to acquire a right

understanding and correct interpretation of these Divine symbols. And, as

thorough students of any language seek out the derivation of words and

expressions, search for the root, or stem word, and its origin, so should the

student of astrology, by sincere desire and earnest study, seek to know the

origin and root of these starry words and complex expressions of the

"language of the stars."

The Sun, Moon and five planets[*] of our solar system are to us

symbols of the reflected and refracted rays of the triune attributes of the

great Central, Spiritual Sun: Life, Light and Love, analogous to the three

primary colors in Nature, which become still further refracted into four

secondary or complementary colors, rays or attributes, the seven

constituting the active principles of Nature, the seven rays of the solar

spectrum, the seven notes of a perfect musical scale, there being

throughout a perfect correspondence, and all are but different modes of

vibration or activities of the Supreme Intelligence.

[*] Uranus and Neptune belonging to a higher octave.

And, as we know, the seven rays of color reflect an almost infinite

variety of tints, that, octave upon octave, are built upon the seven natural

tones in music, so, also, are these seven active principles divided and
