The Lessons of Lyons (1)

Created on: 2024-10-18
Pasqually's Élus Coëns worked tirelessly to restore man's inner divinity and eventual reintegration with God. The fraternity practised a system of white magic (theurgy) aimed at recovering humanity's original spiritual memory. Composed by Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, Jean-Baptiste Willermoz and Jean-Jacques Du Roy d'Hauterive, The Lessons of Lyons (sometimes called "A Course in Martinism during the 18th Century") is a contemporary commentary on the instructions given by Pasqually, reproduced here in English for the first time. Also contained in this edition are several of Pasqually's surviving letters.

Author selling Books on Rosicrucianism and Books on Secret TraditionsAs a collection of teachings and notes taken during three short years (1774 - 1776) in Lyons, they provide a fascinating insight into the small Lodge of members of Pasqually's Order of Élus Coën meeting in that city. Since the Master himself was elusive and cryptic at best in his mailed instructions, the weekly - later more sporadic - meetings held by Jean-Baptiste Willermoz, the local Lodge Master, Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, who was visiting and writing his first book, and Roy d'Hauterive would have been very instructive to the new members.
