The Golden Star

Described as “A Book for Initiates,” this work expounds the most advanced occult teachings, yet in such a fascinating manner as to hold and extend the interest of the novice.
Ernest Hopkins, in his authoritative analysis of The Golden Star, writes: “The author divides his mystic crescendo into twelve divisions which are typified not merely as levels of consciousness but also as states of matter above and below the level of normal intelligence. Ma‑u and Ma‑uti, the pair of Egyptian pilgrims who are destined to go so far under the guidance of Neteru‑Hem, the Divine Messenger, are shadowy figures as human characters; but they represent more than the ideal companionship which is occasionally possible in this life, more even than that equilibrium of reason and emotion which is so rarely attained here; for their journey through the unseen is surely also a pictorial view of the stages by which the Alchemical Marriage is perfected under the watchful guidance of the spirit. . . .
“One knows not whether to admire the beautiful descriptive passages in which the author reveals to us much of the authenticity of his inspiration, or the concise and highly selective manner in which he gives out some of the highest and hitherto most secret occult teachings; never overloading his pages with excess of detail or wandering far in a maze of unfounded speculations.”
