Description
The Green Book of the Élus Coëns is the most fascinating insight yet into the secrets and mysteries of the eighteenth century’s most esoteric masonic society: the Order of Knight-Masons Elect-Cohens of the Universe. This pioneering English translation of the Coën grimoire known as the Manuscrit d’Alger (c.1772) details the inner workings and highest degrees of Europe’s first fully formed magical order, and includes a full-colour reproduction of the original manuscript.
Representing the inner circle of most Martinist streams of Freemasonry today, the Élus Coëns taught an advanced form of ceremonial magic, but the original system has been lost and corrupted for centuries. Presented here for the first time, these original rites instruct the initiate in how to enter into relations with angelic entities who can aid man upon the path to reintegration with the Divine.
After the death of the Order’s founder in 1774 its teachings faded into the mists of history. This volume sheds the most illuminating light so far on this hidden aspect of masonic history, revealing an Order that demanded the utmost commitment and a decidedly monastic lifestyle, far from the festivities of mainstream Freemasonry: spiritual warriors engaged in magical combat with angelic and demonic entities, and a rare look behind the curtain of French Enlightenment occultism.
