THE HERMETIC BROTHERHOOD OF LUXOR : INICIATIC AND HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS OF AN ORDER OF TRACTICAL OCCUILTISM Western Mystery Tradition The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, active in the last decades of the 19th century, was the only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 well-known figures of late 19th-century 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. This volume-length study of a 19th Century international magical order shows a level of scholarship that deserves to set a standard in the treatment of such topics. Virtually all of the available primary texts have been reproduced, with analysis that sets them in context. Biographies of the principal figures of the organization are set forth, and its relationship to other groups is examined. Though not presented as such, The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor as now published could provide the basis for a grass-roots H.B. of L. revival such as that enjoyed by the Golden Dawn as a consequence of Regardie's exposures. In many ways, the H.B. of L. technology is more appropriate for the task. While the H.B. of L. aspired to the formation of a Lodge system and group initiations, it appears that their modes of recruitment did not make such activity possible for the majority of members. So the emphasis is on individual study and self-initiation within a larger fraternity and symbolic system. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

La Fraternité Hermétique de Louxor
(H. B. of L.)
Rituels et instructions d'occultisme pratique
Active dans les dernières décennies du XIXe siècle, la Fraternité Hermétique
de Louxor, qui n'était désignée que sous ses initiales anglaise H. B. of
était le seul Ordre de son temps à enseigner l'occultisme pratique dans la
lignée de la tradition occidentale. Elle aidait ses membres à progresser sur
la voie du développement spirituel en leur fournissant des instructions
détaillées notamment pour leur permettre, par l'effort personnel et si possible
dans un cadre familial, de cultiver leurs pouvoirs occultes.
La H. B. of L. influence un nombre considérable d'éminentes personnalités
ou sociétés des milieux théosophes, ésotéristes et occultistes, malgré son
déclin rapide dû à un scandale suscité par le lancement d'un projet de
communauté spirituelle. En France en furent les membres Barlet, Papus et
même René Guénon.
La H. B. of L. entretenait le mythe de ses origines, notamment vis-à-vis
de la Société Théosophique et de la Fraternité d'Eulis de Randolph. Elle
préservait l'incognito de son Grand Maître, dont on sait aujourd'hui qu'il
s'agissait du fondateur, vers 1901, du Mouvement Cosmique qui fut
indirectement à l'origine d'Auroville, Max Théon.
Le présent ouvrage, dont la version en français apporte des compléments
intéressants par rapport à l'édition américaine, lève un coin du voile,
documents originaux à ľ'appui, sur l'histoire mystérieuse de la H. B, of L., tout
en offrant à destination du public intellectuel un ensemble exhaustif et
brillamment commenté de ses rituels et instructions.
