Lessons Learned from Occult Letters

In this fascinating book William G. Gray the renowned English Kabbalist and Ceremonial Magician delineated some of the lessons he learned from the letters which passed between himself and the Martinist Emil Napoleon Hauenstein his Austrian mentor and friend whom he affectionately referred to as E.N.H. and who classified himself a mystic. Hauenstein was an Initiate of the well-known French Occultist Papus (Gerard Encausse). He addressed important psycho-spiritual occult principles and doctrines in his letters and since Occultism is the study and practice of subjects and laws which are beyond the bounds and limitations of ordinary physical or even mental experience he directed his young protegé in unfolding a well-regulated Self who is in full control of all his personal faculties. This is of particular importance in understanding as William Gray noted that Occultism is not a pastime it is a Power a Purpose a Progress and a Path-a Way of Life!
