Excellent Information on an Obscure Esoteric Order

To the best of my knowledge, this is currently the ONLY book in the English language outlining in detail the history, beliefs, practices and actual rituals of the old German esoteric order Fraternitas Saturni. An intriguing and informative tome. Excellent.

Extremely Intriguing.

This book is well worth the cost, and to those who appreciate the topic along with the author's insights, the book is worth it's weight in gold. In this text one will learn some of the history and practices of the Fraternitas Saturni. Very little information is available on this subject and Flowers has been quite thorough in compiling a book on this topic from what limited resources are availible. Furthermore, this text gives extremely interesting accounts of the order, its members such as Gregor A. Gregorius, the order's connections with A. Crowley and the music of an extremely well-known composer. Included are instructive pictures which help fill in the gaps on visual concepts and symbols. I've yet to read a book written by this author that's turned out to be dissappointing. I highly recommend this book for readers, practioners, historians, and researchers who are interested in German lodges, Sexual Magic, Luciferian orders, Gnostic Orders,European-dominated lodges, as well as those who are interested in A. Crowley and the individuals and organizations that he dealt with, and learned from. This text will be a much adored book in my own library for years to come!

A beginning

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.This book is an excellent beginning in developing an understanding of the Saturnian current as manifested in the Aquarian Age. All of the material on the FS with but few exceptions, have been in the German language. Here Stephen Flowers has presented some of the core concepts of the Saturnian Initiation system in an easy to understand format for the English speaking reader. Love is the law, love under will. -Pityless Love-Teitan
