Customer Reviews

Outstanding Source of historic fact on a fascinating figure of Alchemy and Rosicrucian Freemasonry

This book is the most excellent work published on Cagliostro and his Lodge of the Grand Orient in decades. For the first time the true story of the actual life and death of the Comte de Cagliostro (and not his pretenders) is presented in English, along with translations of the Initiatory Rites of his Lodge of the Grand Orient. Students of 18th century Secret Societies will find this work invaluable, and useful to compare with "The Secret School of Wisdom: The Authentic Rituals and Doctrines of the Illuminati" published 2015, by Josef Wages and Reinhard Markner, another must read.
