PHILOSOPHICAL PUBLISHING
COMPANY
QUAKERTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA
Through this publication the Secret Schools
extend greetings to occult students throughout
the world, while at the same time announcing
an array of authentic occult books suggested
and recommended for study purposes.
Occult study, designed to lead man to Life,
Light, Wisdom, Soul Illumination and Immor­
tality, must be of a fourfold nature, incorpo­
rating the development of bodily health, men­
tal strength, Soul Consciousness, and material
and spiritual success in all affairs of life.
The books listed in this catalog recognize
the necessity of this fourfold development,
are in harmony with the teachings of the
Secret Schools, and offer a sufficient variety
to permit students a wide range of choice.
It has been the experience of the Secret
Schools that because of the ‘ authentic and
practical instructions contained in these
books the student continues to buy until ulti­
mately he is in possession of the complete li­
brary of books as listed and described in this
publication.
NEWLY REVISED FAVORITE BOOKS
It is a pleasure to announce that the popular occult books listed
below have recently been revised, improved and enlarged. Each
of these new editions contain truths not in the original editions.
Every chapter has been rewritten and revised for the purpose
of making these books highly valuable to occult students.
The Rosicrucians, Their Teachings. This book has been com­
pletely rewritten. Very little remains of the original edition. If
the title had been changed, few students would recognize this
book as being a revision of the original first publication under
this title. The revised edition carries a 1941 copyright.
The Philosophy of Fire. The revised 1943 edition contains
much new information. The chapter on “Light” or “The Brethren
of Light” is entirely new and places before the reader much new
information not found in any other current occult book. Contains
a full page reproduction of The Flame in authentic colors.
The Science of the Soul. Here is a book which perhaps has
been read by more individuals than any other authentic occult
book ever published. The new 1944 edition, with its wealth of
new material, should easily make it one of the world’s most pop­
ular occult books. Because of the vitally important information
it contains, the study of this book is urgently recommended to
every student. It is in truth one of the most important occult
books available anywhere in the world.

mental laws as taught by the Secret Schools.

for all students seeking the path of 'wisdom, knowledge and
Immortality.

Initiation—The first steps to be taken, ‘‘the Soul’s Climb
to the Divine.”

The Rose—Symbol of Beauty, Life, Love and Pleasure.
The Cross.
The Winged Globe—A most Divine symbol of the Rose
Cross.
Rosicrucians and Freemasons.
Rosicrucians—The mystery explained.
The Rosicrucian Manifestoes.
It is the claim of the true and authentic Rosicrucian organi­
zation that its members possess knowledge acquired and passed
down thiough many centuries, and that this gives them a power,
a control over material affairs and conditions not possessed by
ordinary men.
The book explains that this knowledge and this power may
be acquired by normal men and women, and that Rosicrucian
C-crets and Truths are open to all who prove worthy to receive
them.
Neophytes of the Fraternity are requested to read this book.
All who consider applying for membership should read it, and
every truly aspiring person, man or woman, who is striving
to rise above his surroundings and his difficulties will find

THE PHILOSOPHY
OF FIRE
a
The Fire Philosophy is the fundamental principle of all Secret
Occult Brotherhoods and is the basis of all Religious Mysteries.
In the introductory remarks is this paragraph:
“The object of the Secret Science; the Ancient
Mysteries; the Secret Doctrine; of Initiation, and of all
Living Religions is one and the same thing; that is,
to ennoble mankind and to awaken in men a realization
of the divinity of the Soul within themselves. Religion
in its theoretical aspect means a real knowledge of the
relations which exist between man and the external
source from which his Soul emanated in the beginning.”
Among some of the subjects dealt with in this book are: the
Ancient Mysteries, Secret Doctrines, Regeneration, and a com­
prehensive chapter on Atlantis.
The Fire Worshippers of old did not worship the Fire as
commonly understood, but recognized the Fire as a symbol of
Love and God. In The Philosophy of Fire the Fire Philosophy of
the Atlanteans is set forth clearly and interestingly. It also
describes the teachings of nearly every Mystic School of ancient
times, tracing the Fire Philosophy from its beginning on Atlantis
to the present day.
The Philosophy of Fire will inspire the reader with new hope
and a conviction that life holds the promise of Immortality for
all those with the courage and sincerity to follow the Fire
Philosophy.

Swinburne Clymer; printed on fine book paper; 294 pages, front
and back stamped in gold; bound in cloth. Price, postpaid, $2.50.

THE BOOK OF ROSICRUCIA
The History of the Rosicrucians
Here for the first time in history the student is offered in a
single volume the complete history of the world-wide Rosierucian
activity, beginning with the dawn of its history to the present
time. This book contains the philosophy of the Rosicrucians as
taught during the three most important periods of the Order:
First—The period constituting the life of Paracelsus
and his teachings while active head of the Alchemists
of the world; while at the same time his co-workers were
active in the Hermetic Brotherhood; the merging of the
two, giving birth to the Fraternitas Rosse Crucis.
Second—The period when the Order was most active
in France, and concerned equally with Higher Occultism
and Spiritual Initiation.
Third—The early active American period during
which Randolph was at the height of his career and
recognized as the Supreme Grand Master of the Order
and of the world.
The book contains:
A list of all the Grand Masters of the Fraternity in
all parts of the world where the Order was active.
A list of the Supreme Councils of Three, Seven and
Nine, who were co-workers with the Grand Masters.
All of these authorities will be recorded in proper sequence,
beginning with the earliest history of the Order to the immediate
present. The history will include the activity of the International
Confederation of Initiatory Orders, Societies and Fraternities,
including a detailed exposition of the symbolism connected with
the Fraternity. All facts and claims have been taken directly
from the records of the Fraternity, leaving no doubt regarding
their authenticity and correctness.
