Description
The Cloud Upon the Sanctuary: Esoteric Classics Arthur Edward Waite and Karl Eckhartshausen This 18th-century German mystic's work is a unique blend of Christian mysticism and hermetic code, making it a significant influence among Rosicrucians and Theosophists. Eckhartshausen briefly belonged to the Bavarian Illuminati before leaving for spiritual reasons, where he described a "society of the Elect" that has existed since time began as an "invisible celestial Church". He predicted its emergence as a theocratic republic, destined to become the Regent Mother of the world. Eckhartshausen's cryptic writings have had a lasting impact on esoteric thought. Arthur Edward Waite provides a historical introduction to this enigmatic work, shedding light on its significance and relevance today. Published in 2020, The Cloud Upon the Sanctuary is a rare and fascinating insight into the mystical world of the 18th century.
