Alexander Wilder

Wilder is best known for his philosophic writings and as Editor of H. P. Blavatsky's "Isis Unveiled," but he was also one of the best known Physicians of his time, having been an instructor in Medicine and Psychology at three colleges, Editor of at least 3 Medical Journals, and author of the 900 pp. "History of Medicine." He'd be regarded as an Holistic practitioner today, believing that medicine must regard the whole of human nature and not just the body. This volume contains 35 articles of Wilder's related to the holistic practice of medicine and psychology and the balance of articles including a long pamphlet on Neoplatonism and Alchemy, historical biographies, an Addendum of biographical material, and Index.

Thirty-eight articles by Alexander Wilder (1823-1908), Introduction, Addendum and Index. Wilder was a Platonist scholar, Physician, historian, translator, editor and prolific writer. He had hundreds of articles in publications of his time on Platonic, medical, philosophic and hermetic subjects, was editor of H. P. Blavatsky's "Isis Unveiled" and author of much of the Introductory chapter. Blavatsky held that only Wilder and Thomas Taylor had a deep intuition on Platonic subjects.

Theurgia: Or The Egyptian Mysteries is a book written by Iamblichos, a philosopher and mystic who lived in the 4th century AD. The book is a detailed account of the religious and mystical practices of ancient Egypt, particularly those related to the worship of the gods and goddesses of the Egyptian pantheon. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a general overview of the Egyptian religion and its various deities, as well as an introduction to the concept of theurgy, which is the practice of using ritual and magic to communicate with the gods. The second part of the book is a more detailed description of the various rituals and practices used in theurgy, including the use of symbols, incantations, and other magical techniques. Throughout the book, Iamblichos emphasizes the importance of spiritual purification and the cultivation of virtue as a prerequisite for successful theurgical practice. He also stresses the need for a deep understanding of the gods and their attributes, as well as the use of proper ritual forms and techniques. Overall, Theurgia: Or The Egyptian Mysteries is a fascinating and informative exploration of the ancient Egyptian religion and its mystical practices. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and spirituality, as well as those interested in the practice of magic and mysticism.
