BURGOYNE Zaxoni, rE * “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVEN STARS, which thou sawest in my right hand.” Revelations, Chap. 1,19 and 20.

The following editions were published by Henry Wagner M.D. the Astro Philosophical Publishing Company of Denver, Colorado, some sixty years ago.

2The symbol upon the cover of this book The Light of Egypt is complex in meaning. It is the symbol of Spiritual Initiation, and means, literally, “I have pierced the illusions of matter, and I am conscious that I am Divine.” The seven stars represent the seven Principles of Nature. The serpent represents the objective phenomena of life, and the arrow piercing the serpent represents the human soul which is conscious of its origin, power and destiny. The name Zanoni means: — Zan, a star; oni, a child of or son of; thus Zanoni, son of a star. The double zee ( rf-t ) means completion. iv gilized by GoOgle PREFACE For nearly twenty years prior to the year 1881 the author was deeply engaged investigating the hidden realms of occult force. The results of these mystical labors were considered of great value and real worth by a few friends who were also seeking light Finally, he was induced to place the general results of these researches into a series of lessons for private occult study. The whole, when completed, presenting the dual aspects of occult lore as seen and realized in the soul and the stars, corresponding to the microcosm and the macrocosm of ancient Egypt and Chaldea, and thus giving a brief epitome of Hermetic philosophy as taught by the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, Egypt.
3The chief reason urging to this step was the strenuous efforts being systematically put forth to poison the budding spirituality of the western mind, and to fasten upon its mediumistic mentality, the subtle, delusive dogmas of Karma and Re-incarnation, as taught by the sacerdotalisms of the decaying Orient. From the foregoing statement it will be seen that this work is issued with a definite purpose, namely, to explain the true spiritual connection between God and man, the soul and the stars, and to reveal the real truths of both Karma and Re-incamation as they actually exist in Nature stripped of all priestly interpretation. The definite state¬ ments made in regard to these subjects are absolute facts in so far as embodied man can understand them through the symbolism of human language, and the author defies contradiction by any living authority who possesses the spiritual right to say, “I know.” During these twenty years of personal intercourse with the exalted minds of those who constitute the brethren of light, the fact was revealed that long ages ago the Orient had lost the use of the true spiritual compass of the soul, as well as the real secrets of its own theosophy.
