Description
The Lost Teachings of the Cathars: Their Beliefs and Practices This book offers a sympathetic yet critical examination of the history and legacy of the medieval Christian dualist movement, Catharism. Despite their brutal suppression, the Cathars continue to exert a powerful influence on popular culture and spiritual seekers. Few people know the details of their beliefs and practices, beyond vague notions of reincarnation and vegetarianism. The Lost Teachings of the Cathars explores the history of this Christian dualist movement between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, investigating their origin, relationship to Gnosticism, and possible survival of the Inquisition. The book also addresses theories and figures from the Cathars' recent past, including eccentric esotericists and those who claim to have been Cathars in previous lives.
