THE SACRED COLLEGE
THE AN'CIEXT MYSTERIES
The title of this latest book of interpretations will cause the Occult Student more than a thrill of interest. In it will be found the stories of the Knights of Chivalry of the time of King Arthur and the Round Table, and the relation they bear to the Mysteries of the Ancients.
The stories of the Knights of the Routid Tabk have never
THE WAY 159
ceased to exercise a spell over the reader. In them are found the ICnights who personified the extremes of good and evil and all the intermediate passions.
To the ww-initiated, these stories combine human action with the inhabitants of the unseen worlds, with charms and in- carnations. But to the Initiated these tales take on a deeper significance. The M3'Steries and Mythologies they contain are so many keys by which are unlocked strange truths.
Besides the interpretations already mentioned, there is an, intensely interesting chapter on Pope's ''Rape of the Lock.'* Pope, a Rosicrucian, placed many occult truths before his read- ers, knowing full well that only the initiated would gain more than a superficial meaning.
All the interpretations in this volume are written by a Rosi- crucian in the light of Rosicrucian Lore.
