This volume contains a variety of articles focusing on esoteric spirituality. There are articles featuring Alchemy, Qabalistic poetry, the Great Chain of Being, Hermeticism, Gnosticism, the Gospel of Thomas and the Poimandres of the Corpus Hermeticum. Additionally, we have something new and unique: two never before translated short rituals from a German esoteric Masonic body called the Order of African Architects. This volume also contains two articles expanding the scope and vision of the New Hermetics. This journal is really hitting its stride. Featuring the writings of Robert Herd, Timothy Hogan, Jason Augustus Newcomb, Brian Pivik, Cliff Porter, Greg Starr, Frater VEL and our new co-editor Loran Frazier.
