They Chymical Wedding

The Chymical Wedding is a rather curious exhibition of Christian and heathen symbolism evoking a poetical image and resemblance of the mystical or mystery path of spiritual initiation. The authorship of this hermetic romance has been the subject of controversy since it was first published in 1616 under the pseudonym of Christian Rosenkreutz. The actual identity of the author remained completely unknown for several decades until the German orthodox Lutheran theologian Johannes Valentinus Andreae (1586-1654) claimed authorship in his old age. Either way, it is clear that whosoever authored this book exhibited not only a scholarly knowledge of the ancient symbolical devices but, most importantly, quite a thorough understanding of their innermost mystical purport. E.GIBIL is now pleased to present a brand new edition of this classic of Rosicrucian and Western Esoteric tradition. Now profusely annotated by Sonchis Triacorda, The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz has become a true initiatic and inspirational voyage bustling with purpose, insight and mystical inspiration.
