Voltaire, Rousseau, Hume, Adam Smith y tantos otros filósofos famosos, nos han habituado a asociar el siglo XVIII con la idea de razón, pero la verdad es que fue también un tiempo de magia, misterio y confusión en el que florecieron nigromantes, profetas, herejes y masones, como el siciliano Giuseppe Balsamo, más conocido c

1st 2017 92pp Media Print Editore trade paperback. Illustrated. NEW. Ltd. ed. 300 copies. Cagliostro: Autobiograffia Spiritista is a work of mediumistic occultism. Set in the city of Chicago during several seance sessions, Cagliostro assumes his form and speaks to the mediums, identifying the common path which leads individuals to spiritual advancement for the benefit of all mankind. Illustrated by the author's art.

Desde a sua época, as pessoas que viam Cagliostro agir, que o observavam e o interrogavam admitiam ser impossível julgá-lo. Uns o reverenciavam como um verdadeiro deus, outros o odiavam. Certamente, nenhuma personalidade permaneceu mais enigmática ao longo da história do que este homem. Mas, afinal, quem foi Cagliostro? Acerca de sua vida, lendas e calúnias se acumularam. Desde que estava vivo até depois da sua morte, histórias a seu respeito se espalharam e ódios religiosos o perseguiram. Por não encontrarem nada que explicasse seus atos, os historiadores logo o deixaram de lado e a literatura tomou para si o papel de torná-lo um personagem clássico. Das lendas, exageros e imperícias de seus discípulos e admiradores construiu-se a imagem do mago Cagliostro: um homem rico, dono de uma fortuna que ninguém sabia de onde provinha, dotado de um poder especial para a cura e realizador de milagres que enciumavam os médicos e poderosos de sua época. Um homem que ajudava a todos, que inclusive dava abrigo e dinheiro aos pobres fiéis que trilhavam longas viagens em busca de uma possível cura. Uma personalidade que despertava ódio e amor e da qual, no entanto, temos apenas uma idéia aproximada. Cagliostro - o grande mestre do oculto é uma obra biográfica que, baseada em textos oficiais, referências de contemporâneos imparciais e cartas e petições escritas pelo próprio Cagliostro, busca iluminar mais um pouco o caráter de um homem tão cercado de mistérios e suas relações com o hermetismo, a alquimia e a maçonaria.

1st edition."The self-styled Count Alessandro Cagliostro alias the Sicilian Giuseppe Balsamo was surely one of the most controversial figures of all times.

He was a hypnotizer, an alchemist, a scholar of cabbala, the founder of several lodges of Freemasonry, and, above all, a person of an extraordinary great charisma.It was in Malta, he alleged, that he turned from a naive adolescent to a master of mystery and secrets notorious all over Europe."

Biography of the eighteenth century quack, charlatan and murderer who was to the French Revolution what Rasputin was to the Russian. Guiseppe Blasamo was born in the mid-eighteenth century in the slums of Palerno, Sicily, he would rise from obscurity to become the legendary Count Alessandro di Cagliostoro, whose dangerous charm and reputed healing would make him the darling - and bane - of upper-crust Europe. Moving through the period between the Age of Enlightenment and the French Revolution - a time when reason and superstition co-mingled in the minds of even the best educated - Cagliostro earned a reputation for dazzling kings, feeding the poor, healing the ill and, most conspicuously, relieving the careless rich of their money, He tangled with most of the major figures in Europe at that time, including Cassanova, Mozart, Goethe and Catherine the Great. Eventually a lifetime of political intrigue led him to become the key figure in The Diamond Necklace Affair, which many believe precipitated the French Revolution itself, and which would eventually lead to his own downfall and death while imprisoned half insane by the Inquisition.

Who was the mysterious Count Cagliostro? Depending on whom you ask, he was either a great healer and mystic or a dangerous charlatan whose revolutionary notions and influences threatened to undermine the monarchies of France and Russia. Whatever else he was, Count Alessandro di Cagliostro, the leader of an exotic brand of Freemasonry, was indisputably one of the most influential and notorious figures of the latter eighteenth century, overcoming poverty and an ignoble birth to become the darling -- and bane -- of upper-crust Europe.Internationally acclaimed historian Iain McCalman has not written a work of biography in the strictest sense; rather, he uses seven key "episodes" in Cagliostro's political and spiritual evolution to provide a dazzling panoramic portrait of eighteenth-century European culture and history. McCalman documents how Cagliostro crossed paths -- and often swords -- with the likes of Catherine the Great, Marie Antoinette, and Pope Pius VI. He was a muse to William Blake and the inspiration for both Mozart's The Magic Flute and Goethe's Faust. LouisXVI had him thrown into the Bastille for his alleged involvement in what would come to be known as "the affair of the necklace." Yet in London, Warsaw, and St. Petersburg, he established "healing clinics" for the poorest of the poor, a radical notion at that time; and his dexterity in the worlds of alchemy and spiritualism won him acclaim among the nobility across Europe.But it was his progress through the rites of Egyptian Freemasonry -- including the Illuminati, a genuinely conspiratorial secret society dedicated to the overthrow of established religion and monarchy -- that was both his highest achievement and his undoing. In 1791, on the order of Pope Pius VI, Cagliostro was arrested for heresy. He spent the last five years of his life in solitary confinement in an Italian prison, where he died in 1795.

Miracle-worker or man of straw? Count Alessandro Cagliostro was a cult figure of European society in the tumultuous years leading to the French Revolution. An alchemist, healer and Freemason, he inspired both wild devotion and savage ridicule – as well as novels by Alexandre Dumas, a drama by Goethe and Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute. Count Alessandro Cagliostro’s sincere belief in the magical powers, including immortality, conferred by his Egyptian Rite of Freemasonry won him fame, but made him dangerous enemies, too. His celebrated travels through the Middle East and the capitals of Europe ended abruptly in Rome in 1789, where he was arrested by the Inquisition and condemned to death for heresy.The Masonic Magician tells Cagliostro’s extraordinary story, complete with the first English translation of his Egyptian Rite of Freemasonry ever published. The authors examine the case made against him, that he was an impostor as well as a heretic, and find that the Roman Church, and history itself, have done him a terrible injustice.This engaging account, drawing on remarkable new documentary evidence, shows that the man condemned was a genuine visionary and true champion of Freemasonry. His teachings have much to reveal to us today, not just of the secrets of the movement, but of the mysterious hostility it continues to attract.

At long last, Arsène Lupin's greatest epic battle is presented in English in a single omnibus volume. Countess Cagliostro (1924) marks the first great adventure of a 20-year-old Lupin, pitting him against the beautiful but deadly Countess Cagliostro, in an attempt to find the treasure of the Candlestick with Seven Branches. It is presented here for the first time in a new, unabridged translation. The 1935 novel Countess Cagliostro's Revenge, never before translated, tells of the lethal Countess's revenge upon a 50-year-old Lupin. The book also includes The Queen's Necklace, a short story recounting an adventure of Lupin when he was a child which ties in with the Cagliostro legend, the all-new The Death of Countess Cagliostro, written by Jean-Marc & Randy Lofficier, and a timeline.

Count Alessandro Cagliostro was a cult figure in European society in the tumultuous years leading to the French Revolution. As an alchemist, healer, and Freemason, he inspired both wild devotion and savage ridicule, becoming the subject of novels by Alexander Dumas, a drama by Goethe, and Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute. But Cagliostro’s sincere belief in the magical powers, even the immortality, of what he called the Egyptian Rite of Freemasonry made him dangerous enemies, too. In 1789, he was arrested by the Inquisition and condemned to death for heresy.Now, the discovery of a mysterious manuscript found in the Archives of the Grand Lodge of Scotland may shine a light on Cagliostro’s secret spiritual teachings, and allow us, finally, a full understanding of his beliefs. The Masonic Magician tells Cagliostro’s extraordinary story, complete with the first English translation of the Egyptian Rite ever published. It presents the case made against him (that he was an impostor as well as a heretic), and finds that the Roman Church, and history itself, have done him a terrible injustice. This scholarly account, drawing on remarkable new documentary evidence, reveals that the man condemned was in fact a remarkable visionary and a true champion of Freemasonry and that his teachings have much to reveal to us today.

This book offers a historical study of the Masonic "Rite of Memphis-Misraim", allegedly established in 1881. The "Rite of Memphis" and the "Rite of Misraim" were originally separate bodies that originated in the first half of 19th century France. The Rite often refers to Cagliostro (1743-1795), an Italian alchemist, Freemason, healer, and "a key figure of his time", who allegedly gave the organization the impulse necessary for its development. This Masonic system of "High Degrees" is sometimes known as "Egyptian Freemasonry" due to the invocation of Hermetic derived esoteric symbolism that is filled with alchemical, occult and Egyptian references. These degrees blend Christian, Kabbalistic, Neo-Platonic, Pythagorean mysteries, and beyond, within a single Rite of 90 degrees. "Of Memphis and of Misraim, the Oriental Silence of the Winged Sun" is one of the most comprehensive books of its type ever published in the English language. That’s why this book is so engaging, with some 400 pages, unveiling the stream of Hermes that passes through Masonry, from the soul of Cagliostro onto the various Egyptian Rites today...
