"Let us open the door and let us not be blinded by the light which escapes it, let us not be afraid to say that which must be said, because the masters wished that certain mysteries be revealed...What then have you seen on the occult side of the Universe?"—Papus
Elementary Treatise on Occult Science
was one of the most influential books to emerge from the turn-of-the-century French occult revival—a detailed and readable description of the magical universe and humanity's place in it. Many important teachers and authors of the esoteric arts—including Madame Blavatsky, Rudolf Steiner, and Manly P. Hall—were influenced by Papus's vision of occult philosophy and the hidden side of history. This volume, translated and annotated by Mark Mikituk with a foreword by John Michael Greer, provides a captivating view of Papus's visionary mind and his radical ideas.
