The Secret Fire E J Langford Garstin

2012 Reprint of 1932 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. E. J. Langford Garstin was a Cancellarius of the Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega during the second quarter of the 20th century. "The Secret Fire" begins the journey with the documentation of various instances in which the SECRET FIRE is described including the Bible and continues with the various words of the Alchemists and Rosicrucians leading up to one of the clearest unveilings of our SECRET FIRE found anywhere. This is Alchemy, pure and simple. Garstin was a chief of an A. O. Temple and well versed in alchemy as this book indicates. Garstin was the first A. O. Chief in the 1930s to discuss Chakras and their effect, and he brought them into the periphery of the Golden Dawn teachings through their alchemical links. The Alchemical teachings here concentrate on the spiritual aspect of the work, Book `M', the Philosophical Mercury of the Rosicrucian manifestos. This book is a must for all those studying the Golden Dawn, its roots, its history and its teachings." --Pat Zalewski, author of the highly acclaimed `The Magical Tarot of the Golden Dawn'.
