Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Hargrave Jennings presents a fascinating look at and interpretation
of the philosophy and nature of the Rosicrucian Order in this
classic work. It is an indispensable work for any student of the
Rosicrucians or the Mysteries Schools. "This book, which now leaves
our hands, concentrates in a small compass the results of very
considerable labour, and the diligent study of very many books in
languages living and dead. It purports to be a history (for the
first time treated seriously in English) of the famous Order of the
'Rose-Cross', or of the 'Rosicrucians'. No student of the occult
philosophy need, however, fear that we shall not most carefully
keep guard--standing sentry (so to speak) not only over this, which
is, by far, the pre-eminent, but also over those other recondite
systems which are connected with the illustrious Rosicrucians."
Collectanea Hermetica Volume I: Divine Pymander. This book was a
part of curriculum studied by members of the original Order of the
Golden Dawn. The Divine Pymander is not only one of the most
important texts of the ancient wisdom attributed to Hermes
Trismegistus, it is also the most important document within
Hermetic communities. The volumes of Westcott's Collectanea
Hermetica appeared over there three years from 1893 to 1896 when
the Golden Dawn was at its peak. In every volume the intellectual
integrity of the authors is evident, as is an eagerness to bring
academic respectability to subjects derided by their
contemporaries. This is the first corrected edition since it was
originally published in 1894. The edition was Edited Darcy Kuntz.
General Note to the Collectanea Hermetica Series by Robert A.
Gilbert, Foreword by Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero and an
