There were moments when I laughed, moments where I gasped in surprise, and moments where I knew I could not read fast enough because I had to know what was going to happen next... My only complaint? That it ended and now I need to wait. I must know what happens next. I must!!!!' Series Tracker 'Are you ready for a grip the edge of your seat-repeating mantra of OMG as you turn the pages eagerly? Looking for something with intensity but also something that leaves you begging for more??? Looking for a new fav??? YES. This book is all of what you need and so much more! Go Into This One Knowing. Best. Book. Ever.' Crossroad Reviews 'This was incredible!... such a slow burn romance but the build-up had my heart beating out of my chest, the angst and suspense was killing me... This book was perfectly paced and the lack of info-dumping, love triangles and insta-love made for a perfect start to a new series. Switching from POV's from England and Paris and following the characters as they go from across countries was a great concept. With the addition of magic, action and adventure this book could really do no wrong in my eyes. There isn't a cliffhanger ending just the promise of lots more to come in the next installment which I'm now anxiously awaiting. I highly recommend this to fellow fantasy lovers who are looking for a brand new world to immerse themselves in, with great characters, a promising romance and a thrilling journey ahead.' Literary-ly Obsessed 'I love this book! It was really great! I've always loved books that include Alchemy as its major fantasy core, I just think that it's such a fascinating 'science'! ... I read the first chapter, and I was completely swept into this amazing world! ... can't wait until the second book comes out, and to continue exploring this amazing story!

The Philosophers' Secret Fire

Author: Patrick Harpur
Publisher: Blue Angel Gallery
ISBN: 9780980286526
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 394

Book Description
Is there any place for the ancient myths of our ancestors in modern times? Could their shadowy presence in our common imagination be more influential than we realise? Across the globe many societies still believe in an Otherworld of spirits, gods and daimons, which the West has banished to the unconscious mind and now only visits in dreams. Yet this visionary tradition continues to subvert the rational universe, erupting out of the shadows in times of intense religious and philosophical transition. In his dazzling history of the imagination, Patrick Harpur links together fields as far apart as Greek philosophy and depth psychology, Renaissance magic and tribal ritual, Romantic poetry and the ecstasy of the shaman, to trace how myths have been used to make sense of the world. He uncovers that tradition which alchemists imagined as a Golden Chain of initiates, who passed their mysterious 'secret fire' down through the ages. As this inspiring book shows, the secret of this perennial wisdom is of an imaginative insight: a simple way of seeing that re-enchants our existence and restores us to our own true selves.

Book Description
2012 Reprint of 1932 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. E. J. Langford Garstin was a Cancellarius of the Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega during the second quarter of the 20th century. "The Secret Fire" begins the journey with the documentation of various instances in which the SECRET FIRE is described including the Bible and continues with the various words of the Alchemists and Rosicrucians leading up to one of the clearest unveilings of our SECRET FIRE found anywhere. This is Alchemy, pure and simple. Garstin was a chief of an A.O. Temple and well versed in alchemy as this book indicates. Garstin was the first A.O. Chief in the 1930s to discuss Chakras and their effect, and he brought them into the periphery of the Golden Dawn teachings through their alchemical links. The Alchemical teachings here concentrate on the spiritual aspect of the work, Book M', the Philosophical Mercury of the Rosicrucian manifestos. This book is a must for all those studying the Golden Dawn, its roots, its history and its teachings." --Pat Zalewski, author of the highly acclaimed The Magical Tarot of the Golden Dawn'.
