Description
Excerpt from The Mystery of Osiris, or Egyptian Initiation
The work before the reader is not an original one, for nearly all that it contains has been in book form before. However, it has not been our desire to produce an original one, for even had it been, it would be impossible, since there is very little original along these lines.
In saying this, we naturally refer to the outer symbol ism of the Egyptians, for nearly all of this has been given to the world at some time or another.
Our desire, therefore, is not to simply place symbolism before the people, but to explain and make clear, a part of the inner meaning of this sublime symbolism, so that those who really care for the truth will be able to find it.
In the year 1859 a work was issued by G. C. Stewart under the title of The Hierophant. This work, while far from correct, is possibly the best and most fair of all such works ever published, there is but one shortcoming, and that is, the fact that he knew nothing of the inner meaning of these things or Egyptian teachings for the reason that he was not an Initiate.
