This Is A New Release Of The Original 1883 Edition.

Thomas H. Burgoyne was born in Scotland on April 14th 1855. As a child, he claimed visions of a group of advanced entities known as the Brotherhood of Light, whose purpose was to guide human destiny. After a meeting with M. Theon, said to be a representative of the Brotherhood, Burgoyne moved to California and, in company with another contactee Norman Astley, established a new occult order - The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor. In 'The Light of Egypt' Burgoyne reveals the Brotherhood's teachings as a series of lessons in two volumes. Volume 1 is a wide-ranging exposition on spiritual wisdom, while Volume 2 explains its attainment, with special reference to astrology. Replete with esoteric wisdom - some unique to the teachings of the Brotherhood - both volumes of 'The Light of Egypt' are designed for the serious occult student, and will reward slow, patient study.

Have we lost the insights of our forebears? Thomas Burgoyne's wonderful study redeems the lost wisdom.

Available again at last, this rare manual of ancient Egyptian wisdom, still fresh today, expounding the mysteries of the stars' guidance of our lives , for now as throughout the ages

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.
