![]() ![]() ![]() A billion microbes of bacteria find their explicatory place in the Hermetic tradition. Dense and difficult-the more so as I entered the book woefully uninformed about Catholic and Christian Hermetic ritual and terminology-but also endlessly fascinating and edifying, especially in the recondite and convincing manner with which scientific, psychological, and anthropological phenomena are reconciled with the spiritual revelation of Christ. The anonymous author-who insisted that his French original be published posthumously-delivers his perceived insight and transcendent guidance from beyond the grave, in a manner of speaking, via epistolic essays on the twenty-two Major Arcana of the Tarot. A profound, beguiling, and massively erudite exposition upon Christian Hermeticism built from within the traditions of the Roman Catholic church. Sui generis, at least as regards my reading experience so far. ![]()
