This collection presents a series of short reflections on Hermetic philosophy, the powers of the mind and the interpretation of nature. Published anonymously and attributed to David Patterson Hatch, it alternates between direct instruction, allegorical language and imaginative meditation.
Essays on faith, concentration, memory, imagination, spirits, death and magic explore the author’s account of inner development. The shifting forms of the pieces are part of the book’s approach, inviting readers to interpret images and paradoxes as well as stated arguments. This complete 1898 volume retains the original sequence of essays through the concluding discussion of magic.
