Description
This volume features, for the first time in ONE SINGLE BOOK, the complete collection OF 11 VOLUMES entitled ECHOES FROM THE GNOSIS, by George Robert Stowe Mead, English historian, writer, editor, translator, and influential member of the Theosophical Society (personal secretary of Madame Blavatsky), whose scholarly works dealt mainly with the Hermetic and Gnostic religions of Late Antiquity.
ECHOES FROM THE GNOSIS, as his author describes it, is "a series of small volumes, drawn from, or based upon, the mystic, theosophic and gnostic writings of the ancients, so as to make more easily audible for the ever-widening circle of those who love such things, some echoes of the mystic experiences and initiatory lore of their spiritual ancestry. There are many who love the life of the spirit, and who long for the light of gnostic illumination, but who are not sufficiently equipped to study the writings of the ancients at first hand, or to follow unaided the labours of scholars. These little volumes are therefore intended to serve as introduction to the study of the more difficult literature of the subject; and it is hoped that at the same time they may become for some, who have, as yet, not even heard of the Gnosis, stepping-stones to higher things.
The eleven volumes are:
THE GNOSIS OF THE MIND
THE HYMNS OF HERMES
THE VISION OF ARIDÆUS
THE HYMN OF JESUS
THE MYSTERIES OF MITHRA
A MITHRAIC RITUAL
THE GNOSTIC CRUCIFIXION.
THE CHALDÆAN ORACLES VOL. 1
THE CHALDÆAN ORACLES VOL. 2
THE HYMN OF THE ROBE OF GLORY
THE WEDDING SONG OF WISDOM
