Description: Faithful re-edition of The Chaldæan Oracles, a work included in the collection Echoes from the Gnosis, written by George Robert Stow Mead in 1906. Illustrated Edition.The Chaldæan Oracles is an essential book of Gnostic knowledge, revealing the secrets of the origin of the universe, divinity, and the soul. A fundamental work of Gnosis!GNOSTIC BOOK: WHAT ARE THE CHALDEAN ORACLES?The Chaldæan Oracles are a collection of fragments from a philosophical-mystical poem, preserved through Neoplatonic and Christian authors. Although sometimes attributed to legendary figures such as Zoroaster or the Julians (the Chaldean and the Theurgist), today they are understood to be the product of ancient initiatic traditions.No complete text survives; they have reached us through secondary references, fragments, and commentaries. In this edition, the author analyzes various sources to reconstruct the original text. A poem that reveals divine doctrines (the origin and creation of the world) and the ancestral methods of mystical union with God.WHAT DO THE CHALDEAN ORACLES TEACH AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT? – GNOSTICISMThe Chaldæan Oracles are not merely descriptive texts; they are believed to contain precise instructions for practice. Many authors affirm that a significant part of these writings is dedicated to initiation rites and the attainment of mystical union.AN ESSENTIAL WORK OF GNOSISThe *Chaldæan Oracles* present a complex worldview in which all that exists emanates from a single divine Mind or Fire, unfolding through multiple levels of manifestation. Their doctrine not only explains the origin and structure of the cosmos, but also offers an initiatory path to spiritual transformation and union with the Divine.A must-read for anyone interested in Gnosis!The Chaldæan Oracles had a major impact on the development of Western esoteric, mystical, and spiritual tradition. Many of their practices and concepts appear in Kabbalah, Christian mysticism, and even in various spiritual paths and religions.Some of the key themes explored in this inspiring Gnostic book:- Origin and creation of the world-The Mind as creative Fire-The intelligibility of God, the Father of all sources-The Mind of Minds-The duality of thought and the end of understanding-The Monad, Dyad, Triad of the soul – all things are triple-The power of silence, the Great Mother, Love, the Limit-The seven firmaments, the cosmos, the sun and moon-The principles or rulers of the sensible worldAnd much more!ABOUT THE AUTHORGeorge Robert Stow Mead (1863–1933) was a British writer, translator, and scholar specializing in Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and the mystical traditions of Antiquity. He served as the personal secretary of H.P. Blavatsky (the central and most influential figure in Theosophy) and was one of the first and most important modern researchers of Gnosticism, widely recognized for his depth and scholarly rigor.THE COLLECTION: ECHOES FROM THE GNOSIS – GNOSTIC BOOKSThis title is part of the series Echoes from the Gnosis, published between 1906 and 1908, which includes several volumes, each devoted to a particular aspect of Gnosticism: The Gnosis of the Mind, The Hymn of Jesus, The Gnostic Crucifixion, The Chaldæan Oracles, The Mysteries of Mithra, and other essential Gnostic books!Mead’s goal with this collection is to make the principles of Gnosis accessible — both in their philosophical and spiritual dimensions — to a modern audience.
