The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, active in the last decades of the 19th century, was the only order of its time that taught practical occultism in the Western Mystery Tradition. This is the first complete and undistorted account, tracing the origins, founders, and practices of this very secretive order, which counted among its members many of the wellknown figures of late 19thcentury occultism, spiritualism, and Theosophy, including Max Theon, Peter Davidson, Thomas Henry Burgoyne and Paschal Beverly Randolph. This scholarly work provides all the materials for revisioning the history, assigning the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor its rightful place as one of the most influential esoteric orders of its time.

Reviews for The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor: Initiatic and Historical Documents of an Order of Practical Occultism

This book fits into the read-and-keep list. Its authors have covered their ground well...Read this book; then read it again. - Michal Grisp, Gnosis Thanks to a new and comprehensive study...a great deal of information about the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor is now available. Just about every relevant extant document pertinent to this subject has been gathered together....The result is a fascinating account of a 19th century secret society. - Edmonton Theosophical society Provides both accurate texts of the teachings and a variety of entertaining documents that set out the Brotherhood's chequered history. Virtually none of this material has previously been accessible.... - R.A. Gilbert, Societas Rosicruciana Anglia
