Publisher's Synopsis
The Magical Writings of Thomas Vaughan, also known as Eugenius Philalethes, is a book written by Arthur Edward Waite that explores the works of the 17th-century Welsh alchemist and mystic, Thomas Vaughan. The book delves into the magical and spiritual writings of Vaughan, including his works on alchemy, Kabbalah, and Hermeticism. The book includes a detailed introduction by Waite, which provides historical context and background information on Vaughan's life and work. The text itself is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of Vaughan's philosophy and practice. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of alchemy and mysticism, as well as those seeking to deepen their understanding of these esoteric topics.A Verbatim Reprint of His First Four treatises; Anthroposophia Theomagica; Anima Magica Abscondita; Magia Adamica; and the True Coelum Terrae. The Magical Writings of Thomas Vaughan constitute an explanatory prolegomena not only to the general history of practical transcendentalism, and to the philosophy of transcendental art, from the standpoint of a Christian initiate, but they are special directed to the interpretation of alchemical symbolism; they claim to provide the intelligent reader with a substantially fresh revelation of that mysterious First Matter of the Magnum Opus. Thomas Vaughan enlarges the theoretical scope of alchemical processes, and delineates the spiritual evolution of humanity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
