Product Description
Ancient Messages is a glittering reservoir of tradition of all kinds, condensed anecdotes and hero-tales, curious quotations, and tales of mysterious times. This sacred and indispensable knowledge has leapt forward from the pages of ancient history, from their ancient monuments and breathtaking art and artifacts, praying to be released, read, spoken, written and rewritten, to be brought back to the life. Charles Nodier said, “Let us love ancient books, those immortal guardians of the epochs of great faith and of which there will soon be left behind no more than a legend.” The secret knowledge and wisdom of our ancestors often pose a quandary for contemporary people. Moreover, modern philosophers who have been studying these ancient writings for years and still do not understand their true meaning. It was a time of secrecy, and their very survival depended on it. It seems that the ancients knew a lot about their world, far and wide, but sacred knowledge was available only to very few initiated guardians and philosophers. The guardians of The Rose Cross. Ancient Messages revisits some of the sacred initiation rituals, ancient tradition, ancient wisdom, folklore, and myth and brings to light the first and true ancient religion, the one handed down to the Divine Plato from the Hermetic Philosophers of the Sacred Order of the Golden Dawn. The ancient Hermetica, the mystical wisdom that, together with the Kabbalah, formed the foundation of Western occultism. The term is derived from the surviving fragments of a multi-volume work known as the Corpus Hermeticum, or Hermetica. This mystical philosophical work was allegedly written by Hermes Trismegistus (Thrice-Greatest) a mythical composite of the Egyptian god Thoth and the Greek god Hermes. The fragments present a synthesis of Kabbalistic, Neo-Platonic and Christian mystical and spiritual traditions and values. According to legend, the Hermetic books were written on papyrus and stored in one of the great libraries in Alexandria. Most were lost when the ancient library burned. Surviving fragments supposedly were buried in a secret desert location known only to select initiates.
