Canon: The Pagan Mystery as the Rule of Arts

A masterful study of ancient wisdom and mythology, this brilliant work was first published in 1897. Its central proposition is that sacred art, architecture, and literature are based upon a canonical law passed down through the ages. The Canon is the undisputed king of all books devoted to the Greek Qabala. Canonic law is based on the objective fact that events and physical changes which are perpetual are never the less completely governed by the intrinsic proportions, and measures. The author got into trouble for spilling too many Masonic secrets and died young in mysterious circumstances.
