Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essay on the Mysteries of Eleusis Men of letters have generally chosen for the discussion of such subjects, one common language; and the Latin was for a long time the interpreter of antiquity. But since it has lost the ancient privilege of unlversality, the French has appropriated a great portion of its rights: the justness and clearness which cha racterise it, seem, in fact, to qualify this lan guage for becoming the habitual idiom of a science in which a perspicuous arrangement of ideas, and propriety of expression, are 311 most as necessary as a spirit of analysis and of criticism. These considerations have influenced me: but I feel the necessity of indulgence for having undertaken to write in a foreign lan guage: one -whichpresents, above all others; so many difficulties to strangers employing it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eleusinian Mysteries and Rites At one time the mysteries of the various nations were the only vehicle of religion throughout the world, and it is not impossible that the very name of religion might have become obsolete but for the support of the periodical celebrations which preserved all the forms and ceremonials, rites and practices of sacred worship. With regard to the connection, supposed or real, between Freemasonry and the mysteries, it is a remarkable coincidence that there is scarcely a single ceremony in the former that has not its corresponding rite in one or other of the ancient mysteries. The question as to which is the original is an important one to the student. The Masonic antiquarian maintains that Freemasonry is not a scion snatched with a violent hand from the mysteries - whether Pythagorean, Hermetic, Samothracian, Eleusinian, Drusian, Druidical, or the like - but is the original institution, from which all the Mysteries were derived.

Book excerpt: A visionary and artistic exploration through the greatest of the Mystery traditions of Antiquity, 'Eleusis' follows the winding path that leads from the kidnap of Persephone and Demeter's grief at her loss to the transformation of mankind through the Epiphany of an Ineffable Female Godhead. Drawing from several years of mythological, experiential and visionary research, and delightfully enfolded with 25 colour and monochrome art images, Bruce attempts to move beyond the Eleusinian veil of secrecy to enter into the very Heart of the Mystery. A final illustrated essay also explores the meaning of the Eleusinian Mysteries for the modern day.
