Esoteric Treatise on Hermetic Astrology is a theoretical-practical book on Gnostic Esoteric Astrology. In it, and through a deep study of the twelve zodiacal archetypes, Samael Aun Weor expounds the Science of Gnosis with an unparalleled accuracy and depth.

Unlike his first book on astrology (Zodiacal Course), where emphasis is placed on astro-theurgy and sidereal magic, Esoteric Treatise on Hermetic Astrology has a more ‘doctrinal’ approach.

As it is seen throughout the book, each of the twelve zodiacal signs is connected to deep esoteric teachings, in this case revolving around the science of the Inner Self-Realization of the Being.

In this book, the author expands on Gnostic subjects as important as the Awakening of Consciousness, the Mysteries of Life and Death, the science of Meditation, the Laws of Evolution and Involution, the science of Mystical Death (elimination of the Ego), the creation of the Solar Bodies, and many more. Subjects that are apparently very dissimilar, but thanks to the author’s ability of synthesis, all of them form a unity, an organic whole.

Each chapter also includes esoteric practises related to each zodiacal sign and the corresponding area it rules in the body.

 ‘This astrological-hermetic-esoteric book has nothing to do with funfair astrology, as mentioned in newspapers. In this book we teach the science of Atma-Vidya…. the real wisdom of the Being, of Atman, of the Higher Monad.’

 Samael Aun Weor

Esoteric Course in Kabbalah comprises twenty-two chapters, following the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot; thus reasserting the indisputable esoteric interrelationship between the Tarot and Transcendental Kabbalah, which are both seen here as a single whole.

In this book, Samael Aun Weor recovers for us the original Kabbalah of the great esoteric mysteries of antiquity, as taught in the ancient Mystery Schools.

As the author states in the book, on explaining the mysteries of the Kabbalah he does not follow the traditional ‘Hebraic drumbeat’. In other words, the author completely departs from the orthodox interpretation of the Kabbalah, since the latter has drifted away from the genuine postulates of Primaeval Gnosis.

In Esoteric Course in Kabbalah, Samael Aun Weor, as the Avatar of the Synthesis, regales us with an unparalleled vision of the science of Kabbalah, since, in this book, he brings together Transcendental Alchemy, Esoteric Tarot, Hermetic Kabbalah, High Magic, the Mysteries of Christification and Practical Gnostic Psychology, all integrated in a harmonized single whole.

As in all his books, Samael Aun Weor’s untiring aim is to guide sincere seekers after the genuine Hermetic treasures, in order to lead them to the Inner Self-realization of the Being; represented in this book as the Return to the Absolute, as shown in the twenty-second Arcanum of the Tarot, which is the last chapter of this unique course/handbook of practical Self-realization.

This is a book of practical Christification. This is a book of absolutely practical, transcendental Esoterism.

We do not theorize in this book. This is a completely practical work. Many students yearn to attain Christification, but they do not know where to start. They do not know the ‘key’, the secret.

In this book we give the students of Gnosis the key, the secret…

Written in 1959, Logos, Mantram, Theurgy is an entirely practical book on Gnostic esoterism.

The first part of the book deals with the ‘Logos‘, here mainly meaning the power of speech, which is so closely connected to the science of Universal Sound and the power of Mantrams (special words of power).

In regard to this subject, Samael Aun Weor makes an extensive explanation of the esoteric foundations of the Science of Sound and Mantrams, including a considerable number of practices for the development of the chakras (inner psychic faculties) as well as astral projection and the Jinas science (entrance into the higher dimensions with the physical body), and other esoteric exercises.

The deepest side of the science of sound and mantrams concerns the awakening of Kundalini and the divine science of Theurgy (a priestly science of the Adepts of the White Brotherhood), which the author profusely explains throughout the book.

Also included in this book, and as a necessary complement to its fundamental theme, the author warns us about the dangers of Goetia (black magic) – a practice diametrically opposite to Theurgy.

Specifically, Samael Aun Weor points out the ten major forms of dark attacks used by black magicians in their constant endeavour to cause harm to humanity in general and to the aspirants to the worlds of Light in particular. In this regard, he gives specific methods and formulas for an efficient protection against them.

Therefore, it is easy to understand that knowledge of this threat is vital, and even urgent, for any aspirant who wants to tread the Esoteric Path successfully.

In finishing this book, we sincerely hope that many disciples, who so far have only theorized, will find the ‘key’ allowing them to open the Ark of Science.

Magic is the art of consciously influencing the phenomena of Nature by acting from the inner world. Higher Logic and Objective Science are the foundations of Magic.

It is sad to see how this Ars Magna has been so desecrated and decried in the last few centuries, to the point that nowadays everything associated to the word ‘magic’ has nothing to do with its original purpose and meaning.

The Magic of the old hermetic philosophers was always a legitimate right of Conscious Man. ‘Seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be yours as well’. ‘All these things’ are the powers and gifts which the Eternal Cosmic Common Father gives to his Perfect Children.

In all holy books we can find numerous instances of magic science. Are not the deeds of Moses a work of a great Magician? And what about Jesus walking on water? And what about the multiplication of loaves and fishes and the resurrection of Lazarus?

In brief, in his progress towards total science, the Magician understands the Laws governing the Universal Order and the Microcosm-Man, and as a scientist of the Most High, he operates in the laboratory of Nature, always according to the Great Divine Law.

In the Handbook of Practical Magic, Samael Aun Weor teaches the Secretum Secretorum of the Great Arcanum and the elemental keys for the Exercise of Practical Magic. The first lesson of the Path is to understand that the real Magician is the Innermost, who dwells in secret deep within ourselves. He alone has all the transcendental powers. Silence is the armour of the Magician. Humility is his great virtue.

Samael Aun Weor wrote Zodiacal Course when he was just starting his work in connection with the dissemination of Gnosis.

Specifically, this is the third book he wrote after The Perfect Marriage and The Revolution of Bel, and it contains the first esoteric course he wrote for the benefit of his students.

Samael Aun Weor wrote this course having in mind all the aspirants who were searching for a direct and clear course which would allow them to awaken consciousness and to approach the altar of Initiation so that they could be quickly united with their Innermost Being.

As the author explains in this book, three requirements are essential to reach Initiation:

• Conscious astral projection
• Practice of Sexual Magic
• Sanctification, or elimination of one’s psychological faults 

These requirements are extensively dealt with throughout the book.

Also, in this book the author reveals the key of Sexual Magic, the unutterable secret of the Great Arcanum, and in it he first explains the Seven Degrees of Power of the Fire and their relationship with Initiation; specifically, with the great Initiations of Greater Mysteries or Initiations of the Fire.

Simultaneously, Samael Aun Weor, based on his own experience and Initiatory process, recovers for today’s esoteric culture the ancient science of Astro-Theurgy or Sidereal Magic (practically forgotten for many centuries now), a science based on the wisdom of the Divine Intelligences ruling all this Galaxy, included our solar system; the very Planetary Genii, who the Astrologer-Theurgist has to consciously contact with in order to become a master of all this creation.

In this way, Samael Aun Weor opens up a new cultural paradigm as far as the science of astrology is concerned; a paradigm which will reach its height at the pinnacle of the Age of Aquarius.

‘This course in Esoteric Astrology will turn you into Theurgists and Alchemists, and will develop all your occult powers. Then you will learn how to make yourself invisible, how to invoke and materialize the Planetary Gods in the physical world to converse with them, how to cancel Karma, and the secret art of succeeding in life through certain mysterious formulas which will allow you to use the sidereal rays for your own ends and to help others.’

This is a practical book on Yoga (the science of union with God or Self-Realization).

Primarily, this is a book on Agni Yoga or Yoga of Fire; in other words, a book on Kundalini (the Sacred Fire of Pentecost).

Its thirteen chapters deal with the Sacred Fire of Kundalini: its nature, awakening, development and powers (siddhis).

Chiefly intended for Gnostic couples, as a handbook for the awakening of Kundalini, it also contains chapters and exercises for single people, in connection with previous preparation for the awakening of the Sacred Fire.

In one of its chapters, the book includes the only Eastern pranayama exercise given by Samael Aun Weor.

The Mysteries of the Fire is a good example that the author is not only an expert in Western Esotericism but in Eastern Esotericism as well.

The book includes a dedicated glossary of difficult terms (mainly Sanskrit ones) for a better understanding of its content.

This book is a must for any person interested in Esoteric Yoga and Eastern Esotericism.

From the book’s Introduction:

‘This book entitled The Mysteries of the Fire (Kundalini Yoga) is for the New Age of Aquarius. In this book we will teach our disciples a practical religion. All religions teach us inflexible dogmas, in which we must inevitably believe, even if we cannot see their assertions with the eyes of the flesh…’

Samael Aun Weor
