2013 Reprint of 1963 Edition in Two Volumes bound into one. Full
facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical
Recognition Software. Thomas H. Burgoyne, an astrologer and founder
of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, was born April 14, 1855, and
grew up in his native Scotland. Spontaneously psychic, he claimed
that as a child he came into contact with the Brotherhood of Light,
a group of discarnate, advanced beings who attempt to guide the
destiny of humankind. Today that group continues as the Church of
Light. At a later date he met a M. Theon, purported to be an
earthly representative of the brotherhood who taught Burgoyne about
the Brotherhood. Burgoyne moved to the United States around 1880
and soon afterward his writings began to appear in various
periodicals. He was brought into contact with Norman Astley of
Carmel, California, who also claimed to be in contact with the
Brotherhood of Light. Astley suggested that Burgoyne write a set of
lessons to introduce the brotherhood's teachings to the public, and
Burgoyne accepted Astley's hospitality at Carmel while he worked on
the lessons. They were published in 1889 as "The Light of Egypt."
The writing of the lessons occasioned the establishment of the
Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor as an esoteric occult order and outer
expression of the Brotherhood of Light. The Hermetic Brotherhood
was structured with three leaders, a seer, a scribe/secretary, and
an astrologer. Burgoyne became the scribe. As Burgoyne understood
it, the Brotherhood of Light was an occult order formed to oppose
the dominant religious powers of the day in ancient Egypt. As the
members died, they continued the brotherhood from their new plane
of being.
