he translator would like to take this opportunity to
send out his heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to
all his friends and family as well as people who have
been of invaluable aid and support in the process of
this treatise coming together.
First of all, my family back in Denmark and Sweden who has
always believed in me and supported me in my decisions and the
work I do, and the things to which I dedicate my life and my soul.
I miss you all very much and pray every day that little by little, it
will gradually become easier for me to find the ability to visit you
all back in Scandinavia more frequently than circumstances have
allowed thus far. Not a minute goes by where you are not all in my
My dear friends Patrice Maleze, James Collins and Michael
Gransoe. Patrice for being a great role model in the world of
alchemical study & practice as well as for being uncommonly
kind in his priceless assistance with translation questions of
mine when the French was giving me trouble. James for simply
being a wonderful friend, a fantastic alchemist with whom I love
swapping ideas and talking about our lab work, and for being
another Cinnabar Path aficionado and thus being someone I can
sit and speak with for hours about a subject so dear to me. And the
never-ending suport I receive from you... words are insufficient
to express my sincere gratitude. Michael, a hardcore grimoire
tradition enthusiast and MOBFAM, who is always there to talk
into the wee hours of the morning about the occult sciences; and
who is always one of the first people to ask about my publishing
work and is constantly there to support me in everything I do.
Thank you ever so much, Brother!
My sincere gratitude to the Toronto Hermetic Society, not
only for it having been supporting Hermetic Science Enterprises
and the work we do, but for its own work in bringing the teachings
of the esoteric sciences to the people and letting them enrich their
lives. All the best wishes for the future of the THS and the dreams
you work so hard to realize.
As always, much respect and appreciation goes out to Jean
Castanier, the president of Editions de Massanne, and Daniel
Caro, the son of Roger Caro and enheritor of all his fathers
literary works. I have said it before and will continue doing so: I
am immensely honored to have received the exclusive legal rights
to produce English translations of all the F.A.R.+C. publications.
This is a privilege I am forever grateful for having received and
a responsibility I am genuinely proud to have been given. I will
always strive to honor it to the very best of my ability and continue
with the wishes of the original Frères Aînés de la Rose+Croix, that
now even more of the people called will become Elects of God for
the Great Work.
Last, but not at all least, to all the supporters of Hermetic
Science Enterprises and Lapis Publications. If it were not for your
love and appreciation of our publications and the work we do in
conveying the teachings of western esotericism, we would not
be able to continue our work. Your enthusiastic inquiries about
in
upcoming releases, lectures on alchemy etc. genuinely warms our
hearts and provides us with enthusiasm for working even harder
to continue providing you with what we truly believe are veritable
treasures of the Hermetic Sciences. Thank you, everyone!
