Elementary Treatise of Occult Science: Understanding the Theories and Symbols Used by the Ancients, the Alchemists, the Astrologers, the Freemasons, and the Kabbalists

I am happy to read this book,finally in English!

Amazing book

Lovely book but quite expensive and falsely advertised as a 400odd page book when it only has 272 up to the index.

The book's quality is better than I expected, especially since I thought I'd ordered a paperback. It looks like it doesn't come in paperback, so that was my mistake. But, I don't mind. Now that I have it in hand, even if there was paperback, I don't think I'd want to trade this copy in.The book arrived on time and in good condition.The subject matter is sometimes a bit dense for me, and I am often forced to re-read passages several times in order to better understand them. That's not a complaint about the translation or the notes, though. The translation and notes are as clear as possible, considering, and I am really enjoying the mental gymnastics this text sometimes requires.I wanted something that would challenge me to think in alternate ways. This text fits the bill perfectly for me.

If I had to start over on my reading journey through the sciences of time, I would have started with this book. The amount of time and money I've spent reading and researching this should be you first, second or third read before you venture off in the land of Nod.

What the headline said

Clearly explained and full of connections never explained in my years of studying occult philosophy and literature, this book is a joy to read! Full of ideas to meditate on, I predict this book will be re-read often. I hope the success of this book will lead to Llewellyn Publications green-lighting the publication of the English translation of Papus’ other book, Methodical Treatise on Occult Science.

Very good book of Masonic and Templar symbols. Excellent read on ancient knowledge.
