About this title

Synopsis

This special commemorative edition of Aes The Candle of Vision is published on the 10th of April 2017ev. This is the 150th anniversary of the Feast for Life (birthday) of George William Russell, the man who bore the name Æon. This is also the 113th Anniversary of the writing of the third chapter of Liber Al vel Legis, the Book of the Law. The Candle of Vision is part spiritual biography, part inquiry into the mechanism of visions, and partly instructional. Originally published in 1918, Aes Candle of Vision is still a classic of contemporary mystical writing. Featuring a foreword by Brian Breathnach

From the Back Cover

Considered by some the greatest examination of the mystical life ever written, this 1918 collection gathers the poetic meditations of George William Russell, an early-20th-century adherent of theosophy, which sought the essential truth underlying all religions, systems of ethics, and philosophies.

Here, in twenty chapters that stand alone as ruminations on the mystic consciousness or that can be read as a cohesive vision of mental and spiritual life, are Russell's thoughts on:

* "The Mingling of Natures" * "Have Imaginations Body?" * "The Architecture of Dream" * "The Language of the Gods" * "Ancient Intuitions" * "The Memory of the Spirit" * and more.

Not just a window in the soul of one man, this love work offers an insightful glimpse into the soul of us all.
