Brother of the Third Degree

Originally published in 1894, this volume continues to inspire seekers on the initiatic path as well as those who are fascinated with the Western Mysteries. In this metaphysical classic, a young spiritual seeker during the time of Napoleon travels to Paris to enter the Masters' secret school. There he meets his soul mate, who is an initiate of a higher order. In his eagerness to make rapid progress he falls prey to the dark brotherhood. The Masters use this near deadly experience to further test and teach him as part of their ultimate plan. He and his true love learn to work together in service to the Masters and humanity. The narrative is considered to be a treasure trove of hermetic and esoteric principles, and this edition is specially formatted with a Table of Contents.
