For more than three hundred years the practice of Masonic rituals of initiation has been part of Western culture, spreading far beyond the boundaries of traditional Freemasonry. Henrik Bogdan explores the historical development of these rituals and their relationship with Western esotericism. Beginning with the Craft degrees of Freemasonry—the blueprints, as it were, of all later Masonic rituals of initiation—Bogdan examines the development of the Masonic High Degrees, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn—the most influential of all nineteenth-century occultist initiatory societies—and Gerald Gardner's Witchcraft movement of the 1950s, one of the first large-scale Western esoteric New Religions Movements.

By the 1980s, interest in initiation was at its peak; it was being employed both theoretically and practically, in gender politics and humanistic therapy. How did that come to be, how should we understand 'initiation', and what can be its future? This wide-ranging book looks at the history, evolution and contemporary idea of initiation. It traces origins in the ancient Mysteries and early Christian texts, through Renaissance rediscoveries to admission in Freemasonry and anthropological investigations in French Canada and British Australia. It introduces the 'initiation discourse', as something that was constructed through centuries of translations and nineteenth century human science leading to the making of the modern concept. It argues for a subject, 'initiation studies', that effectively secularised the eighteenth-century rites of admission to produce the twentieth-century rites of passage. And it details, as compensation for this hollowing out of the mystery, the study of shaman 'spirit-workers', the idea of death and rebirth, and the later sacralisation of the liminal in adolescent/adult initiation. Finally, a contemporary revision is explored that incorporates neglected aspects like depth psychology and education for an idea of youth as a life-stage. And while ritual is now deemphasised, the religious dimension is reaffirmed with a critical analysis of cosmic consciousness, the enduring Great Mystery.

"Love is the highest religion...” - Samael Aun Weor The First Public Revelation of the Sexual Teachings in Every Religion All religions have symbols, myths, and cryptic scriptures that point towards sex, but their real meanings were kept secret. The Perfect Matrimony was the first book to reveal those secrets to the public. The Western religions say that our suffering began when Adam and Eve ate the “forbidden fruit,” an obviously sexual symbol that was never before explained to the public. We are suffering today because we are still eating that forbidden fruit. When we stop repeating that mistake, we can return to עדן (Eden), a Hebrew word that literally means “bliss, pleasure, delight.” The forbidden fruit is related to sex. Sex is a terrific power that can create or destroy. Everything that lives was created through sex. Sex is the source of all life, even spiritual life. Even the soul is created through sex, but not the sexual act of the common person. To create something divine requires divine, sacred sexuality, which is very different from the common sexual act. To create spiritually, we need sexuality that is pure, divine, holy. This is not a book of theories or beliefs, but a practical handbook that empowers you to experience the truth for yourself. It is filled with practical exercises of sacred sexuality for singles and couples, meditation, astral projection, mantras, awakening kundalini and chakras, and much more. After putting these teachings into daily practice, the scriptures of all religions become radiantly clear, your spiritual practices become truly effective and powerful, and the empty feeling in your heart is replaced by something magical and alive. You will then know that real religion is not found in organizations, buildings, or books, it is found in the heart that is inflamed with divine love. If you only want one book about real spiritual practice, The Perfect Matrimony has everything you need. Are you ready for a spiritual and sexual revolution?

In "Initiation, Human & Solar: Treatise on Theosophy and Esotericism," Alice Bailey presents a profound exploration of spiritual initiation, engaging deeply with both Theosophical principles and contemporary esoteric thought. The work is characterized by its intricate prose and meticulous exposition, reflecting Bailey's commitment to an accessible yet intellectually rigorous examination of the mysteries surrounding human and solar initiation. Rooted in the esoteric traditions, Bailey's text not only elucidates the stages of spiritual development but also situates them within the broader context of cosmic evolution and universal law, detailing how these processes are essential for spiritual evolution. Alice Bailey (1880-1949) was a prominent figure in the Theosophical movement and a prolific writer, known for her integration of Eastern and Western spiritual philosophies. Her extensive work was influenced by her own spiritual experiences and collaborations with other Theosophists, particularly in the aftermath of her association with the Tibetan Master, Djwhal Khul.

For readers seeking a deeper understanding of esoteric traditions and their application in personal growth, "Initiation, Human & Solar" serves as an invaluable resource. It not only enriches the reader'Äôs comprehension of spiritual processes but also serves as an essential guide for those embarking on their own transformative journeys.
