The Light of Egypt Volume 1

<p>Thomas H. Burgoyne was born in Scotland on April 14 1855. He grew up a gifted psychic and later became an ardent student of Hermetic Philosophy.  After emigrating to the USA at the age of twenty-five he met Norman Astley who was himself an accomplished occultist.  Impressed by the depth of Burgoyne’s esoteric understanding Astley persuaded him to set down his knowledge in a series of lessons.  The Light of Egypt Vol 1 published in 1889 is the fruit of these labours.</p><p>The tome is in fact two books in one: the first dealing with the Science of the Soul while the second treats of the Science of the Soul and the Stars.  </p><p>The information presented here will astound with its breadth of vision and the obvious truth of the genuine Hermetic Tradition.  The book forms a perfect introduction into esoteric and occult studies and even high-grade initiates will find concepts here that may perhaps shake some of their core preconceptions.  It has truly been called  “One of the masterpieces both of writing and of instruction … there is nothing comparable to it in the English language.” (Emma Hardinge Britten The Two Worlds).</p><p>This edition has been fully revised by a Rosicrucian Adeptus Minor and several errors/omissions – found in some extant editions – have been corrected viz.: misprinted tables rectified three ‘lost’ diagrams added and five missing chapters inserted in their correct sequence.  An Index is included.</p><p> </p>
