A SPECULATIVE CHRONICLE, NOT A RECORD. Sacred Synthesis is written as history — dated events, named participants, an underground network, a global transformation — and it is fiction, by the intent of its author and by editorial ruling. Everything else in this reader is what it claims to be: Boethius in the Friedlein text, the Sacred Books of the East in Müller's series, L'Initiation as Papus printed it. This book is the one thing here that is not, and it should be read as the argument it is rather than as the chronicle it imitates. The practices it describes are real and are held elsewhere in this archive with their own sources; the world it describes them saving is not.
