Merkur books are an excellent collection of historical, philosophical, and personal spiritual growth books for the naturalist and aspiring novice.
Karl von Eckartshausen is one of the few who, through help from others and through the fulfillment of corresponding conditions, found his way to a new and higher consciousness, and with this derived first-hand wisdom of a higher kind. Von Eckartshausen communicated this wisdom to others in his stimulating work, Magic: Principles of Higher Knowledge, proving that universal principles apply from century to century.
Franz Bardon used the first four hermetic letters of Dr. Georg Lomer’s book Seven Hermetic Letters as basic mental exercises before embarking on his series of books on Hermetic Science. Seven Hermetic Letters provides an excellent foundation to Franz Bardon’s series on Hermetic Magic.
The secrets of Alchemy are revealed by Johannes Helmond in Alchemy Unveiled, a mysterious and unknown author. Alchemy is not a process of “cooking gold,” as most deem it to be, but an inner spiritual process of turning “lead” into “gold,” a process not of transforming the external elements (physical transmutation), but the inner elements of one’s being (psychic transmutation). An unmistakably exalted work, Alchemy Unveiled, is an excellent addition to Franz Bardon’s series on Hermetic Magic.
Continuing on the spiritual path, How to Develop Your Occult Powers takes the novice from journeyman to master, connecting two great yogic systems, one physiological, the other psychic. Developing one’s occult powers (i.e. hidden) leads to an empowering of spiritual gifts and abilities. An excellent addition to the Franz Bardon series of book on Hermetics.
All Merkur books endeavor to intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually stimulate the reader to a higher understanding, thus enabling him or her to reach exalted spiritual goals.
