Vi Modern Martinism
As we have set forth at length in the preceding chapters, the occult teachings of Martinez de Pasqually was consequently transmitted through the XIXth Century, partly through the Kabbalistic Areopages, composed of Elus-Cohen who had not conformed with the order to deposit their archives in the hands of the Philalethes the Marquis Savalette de Lange and partly through some Masons of the Scottish Rectified Rite, holders of the secret instruction of J.-B. Willermoz and the Knights Beneficent of...

This might be a misprint if he received the Charter in 1738 as the previous paragraphs asserts, he would not need to be in London in 1728 - PV. Agla was an esoteric society in the Renaissance period, grouping together apprentices, companions and masters of Guilds associated with Books librarians, engravers, printers, stationers and book-binders, as well as card makers who created the first playing cards and the first Tarots.

The Doctrine Of Martinez Of Pasqually And Masonic Esotericism
As we strove to show it, J.-B. Willermoz tried to express as overtly as possible, in regular masonic ritual and in creating a spiritual Obedience for which the climate was eminently favorable, the essence of the doctrine received among the Elus-Cohen. In that, he showed without possible argument, that unquestioning faith he had for the teachings of his master Martinez of Pasqually, and for the cogency of his work. In that, certainly, he effected the instructions he had most probably received as...
Jeanbaptiste Willermoz And The Chevaliers Bien Faisants De La Cit Sante Knights
Jean-Baptiste Willermoz, son of Claude-Catherin Willermoz, merchant haberdasher, himself a native of Franche-Comt , was born in Lyon, on the 10th July, 173056. He entered apprenticeship at the age of fifteen, in an enterprise in the silk industry. From 1754, at twenty-four years of age, according to him, we find him established in Lyon. However, at the start he only has a rudimentary education, having left Trinity College at the age of twelve in order to help his father in business. Coming from...
The Ritual Of The Elus Cohens
We have extracted the most interesting passages, regarding the Rites and the Circles, from the letters of Claude de Saint-Martin from the time that he was secretary to the Master. We have transcribed them into modern French, adding a minimal punctuation, and have finally put them forward in a less crammed format. Readers wanting to read them in extenso only have to refer to the work by Dr. G rard Encausse Papus on Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin and the 50 letters it contains. Dear Master, This is...
The Unknown Superiors Of Louisclaude De Saintmartin
Louis-Claude, Marquis de Saint-Martin, was born in Amboise, in the Touraine, on 18th January, 1743. His mother having died a short time after his birth, he was raised by his step-mother and father, both strongly pious people. He pursued his studies at the College of Pont-Levoy. Destined for the robe, he studied law, and quickly became a barrister in the courts at Tours. This profession, with all it included in those times, with its worries and idle pettifogging, quickly disappointed him and, on...

The Passes
The active side of the Theurgy of the Elus Cohen consisted by the Operations of exorcism, the purification of the Earth's aura. The passive side of this Theurgy consisted of the obtaining of passes, the appearance of luminous glyphs or many different types, which carried to the Operator a tangible manifestation of the celestial Powers evoked outside of the Operating Circle, and whose presence was brought into concrete form through the symbolic wax candles, true luminous effigies. The...
The Rites
The Theurgy of Martinez de Pasqually, traditional in its principles, nevertheless possesses some very specific characters. We note the main ones here 1. - His magic circles raise more of the theory of figuration of a place or a hyperphysical domain , than that of protection ordinary magic . These are, in reality, the psychic batteries'25 of the World, the spatial effigies, in and on which the Operator tries to be able to act. 2. - His luminaries wax candles are less sources of decorative and...

This is not necessarily correct. The Bible King James's Version gives the impression that it was Cain who was the builder And Cain knew his wife and she conceived, and bare Enoch and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. Gen. IV, 17 . It would be quite a stretch to say that the builder was Enoch, at least according to this translation-PV. In the Eastern traditions, Enoch is frequently confused with the son of Cain of the same name, under the...
THE THEURGY OF THE ELUS COHENS 1 The Order
We would note first of all that even the name of the theurgic Order founded by Martinez de Pasqually is subject to an esoteric interpretation. In fact, anagrammatically, and according to Kabbalistic usage, the Elus Cohen are also the Elus d'Henoc, not worrying about how one writes the name, under any one of three forms Enoch, Henoc or Henoch. Who was Enoch, the personage who Martinez de Pasqually particularly emphasized in his Treatise on the Reintegration of Beings In our opinion, this is the...

Seal Placed at the Head of Most of the Letters of Martinez de Pasqually We have seen earlier that in 1764 the Fran aise Elue Ecossaise was founded. But it wasn't until 1st February, 1765, that the Grand Lodge of France, after numerous letters, issued a patent authorizing the founding of this Lodge, and inscribed the Temple in its record books. This same year, Martinez de Pasqually left for Paris. He stayed there at the house of the Augustinians by the side of the River Seine. There, he put...

Among the various Rites which, from time immemorial, have interested those Masons who are the best educated and the most imbued with the intimate conviction that their adherence to our Works must increase the sum of their knowledge, and bring them to the High-Sciences, the Rite of the Elus-Coheri is the one which has won over the most pupils, yet carefully preserved the secret of its mysterious works Such is the definition given by the Order of Illuminist Masonry, which we found in the...
The Masters Of Martinez De Pasqually
The question of the initiators and the instigators of Martinez de Pasqually has remained one of the most hidden points of the Martinist problem. We are going to try, if not to resolve it completely and definitively, at least to bring some unpublished elucidations. It is strongly probable that Martinez de Pasqually invented the story about his grandfather, member of the Tribunal of the Inquisition, and because of this the holder of documents seized from the hands of Jewish or Arab heretics....
