Isabel Cooper-Oakley escribió cien años atrás esta crónica de tono periodístico acerca de Saint Germain, el célebre alquimista y místico que vivió el siglo XVIII en Europa, y cuyo nombre y papel no han hecho sino crecer en importancia en los albores del siglo XXI. Amigo y consejero de reyes y príncipes, enemigo de ministros expertos en el engaño, trajo su gran conocimiento para ayudar a Occidente, para evitar en alguna medida los nubarrones que se arremolinaban densamente sobre algunas naciones. Lamentablemente sus palabras de advertencia cayeron en saco roto y no se hizo caso a sus consejos. Una investigación muy bien documentada de la figura de Saint Germain: su apariencia física y sus costumbres; sus viajes, obras políticas y místicas; las opiniones radicalmente opuestas que suscitó entre sus coetáneos. Un documento único en su género acerca del taumaturgo más famoso de todos los tiempos.

Isabel Cooper-Oakley (1853/4-1914) was a prominent Theosophist and author. Born in Amritza, India, Isabel married Alfred J. Oakley, and they then both changed their surname to Cooper-Oakley. Sometime in the late 1890s, G.R.S. Mead became Isabel's brother-in-law when he married her sister, another prominent Theosophist, Laura Cooper. Isabel Cooper-Oakley died March 3, 1914, at Budapest, Hungary. Among her many works was The Comte de St. Germain, or The Count of St. Germain. The Count of St. Germain ( 1710-1784 ) has been variously described in secular histories as a courtier, adventurer, charlatan, inventor, alchemist, pianist, violinist and amateur composer. Under the name "St. Germain" he is recognized as a Spiritual Master of central importance to Theosophy, and under the name "Ascended Master Saint Germain" he is recognized as a Spiritual Master of central importance not only by the Saint Germain Foundation, but by the various schools of Ascended Master Teachings generally.

In this book first published in 1900, Isabel Cooper Oakley has gathered together extensive source material in presenting this history of mysticism in Medieval Europe. The survey covers some eighteen hundred years, and shows with documented evidence a definite link between the seemingly divergent occult schools and brotherhoods that flourished, and that the source of their knowledge lay in Ancient India, the home of Brahma Vidya or esoteric science. Gradually over the years visiting seers and teachers brought this wisdom to Egypt, Persia and Greece, which was given expression in the great mystery schools and temples. A vast tapestry of the spiritual life is unfolded before us, the Gnostic sects who founded Christianity, the famous occult schools of Averroes and the Arabian mystics in Toledo, the Alchemists and Rosicrucians, and the Grail Legend, preserved in times of religious persecution by the troubadours whose allegorical songs were a feature of the royal courts, and the Knights Templars who designed and built the Gothic cathedrals.

We have thousands of titles available, and we invite you to search for us by name, contact us via our website, or download our most recent catalogues. THE series of sketches which are now brought together appeared originally as detached articles in the pages of the Theosophical Review, written, however, with the object of demonstrating to students of Theosophy that a definite design could be traced beneath the apparently disconnected mystic doctrines held by the many occult brotherhoods, heretic sects and mystic associations which cluster so thickly together as we glance along the historical by-ways of religious thought during the Middle Ages. That object becomes clearer when they appear as they do now in closer juxtaposition. To those who wish to understand the reason of this steady recurrence of mystic tradition in every century, these studies may be of some use. They will serve as literary landmarks to guide the seeker to those distant sources whence flow faint echoes of divine truths--the heritage of the divine human race; truths that bring dim memories to the soul which are its highest impulse, and give the clue that guides it to the inner "science of the soul"--the mystic quest of all the saints, and the hidden truth that all religions have tried to teach, and which only a few in each religion have ever realized. Mystics, visionaries, dreamers of vain dreams have been the names which the scoffers have always thrown at those who counted the world as nought compared with the treasure of the unseen life, and who devoted their lives to this divine science, and tried to reach an understanding of its laws. And as we trace out the records of the past it will be clearly seen that the Theosophical development is but another link in a wondrous chain of mystic teaching which stretches far back into the night of time.

The Troubadours and Freemasonry is a book written by Isabel Cooper-Oakley that explores the connection between the troubadours of medieval Europe and the Freemasons of the 18th century. The author delves into the history of both groups, examining their origins, beliefs, and practices. She argues that the troubadours, who were poets and musicians in southern France during the 12th and 13th centuries, were the forerunners of the Freemasons, who emerged in the 18th century as a secret society with a focus on moral and spiritual development. Cooper-Oakley draws on a range of sources, including historical documents, poetry, and symbolism, to support her argument. She examines the similarities in the beliefs and practices of the two groups, such as their emphasis on secrecy, initiation rituals, and the use of symbols and allegories. She also explores the influence of the troubadours on the development of Freemasonry, suggesting that their ideas and ideals were passed down through the centuries.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the connection between the troubadours and Freemasonry. The author provides detailed descriptions of the troubadours and their poetry, as well as the history and philosophy of Freemasonry. She also examines the role of women in both groups, arguing that women played a significant but often overlooked role in the development of these traditions.Overall, The Troubadours and Freemasonry is a fascinating exploration of the connection between two seemingly disparate groups. It offers a unique perspective on the history of Freemasonry and sheds new light on the influence of the troubadours on Western culture. The book is well-researched and engagingly written, making it an excellent choice for anyone interested in the history of secret societies, medieval poetry, or the development of Western spirituality.THIS 40 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Masonry and Medieval Mysticism: Traces of a Hidden Tradition, by Isabel Cooper-Oakley.

" The original 'International Man of Mystery,' the Count St. Germain, was an 18th century European aristocrat of unknown origin. He had no visible means of support, but no lack of resources, and moved in high social circles. He was a renowned conversationalist and a skilled musician. He dropped hints that he was centuries old and could grow diamonds. He never ate in public, was ambidextrous, and as far as anyone could tell, totally celibate. He served as a backchannel diplomat between England and France, and may have played some role in Freemasonry. He hobnobbed with Marie Antoinette, Catherine the Great, Voltaire, Rousseau, Mesmer, and Casanova. He dabbled in materials and textile technology as well as alchemy, as did many intellectuals of the time (e.g., Newton). These are established historical facts, documented by the extensive collection of contemporary accounts in this book. Modern Theosophists consider St. Germain to be an adept or mahatma (a "great soul") one who had a specific mission to fulfill in Europe during the 18th century. Much has been written about him, including much that is unsubstantiated. The present book will provide, as much as is possible, a detailed account of what is known, and a few hints as to things that are not known for certain about this enigmatic character..."
