About

The Library

Mystery of the Fire gathers the practical teachings of Samael Aun Weor into small works you can read, print and carry.

Every quote here is Master Samael's own words, checked against his books, with the book and year beneath it. Only the gathering and arrangement are ours.

Even with great care, mistakes can slip in. If you notice one, please let us know and it will be put right, with gratitude.

This work is offered freely, as a service. Take what helps, share it, and may it be useful to you on the path.

Looking for a school near you?

These teachings can certainly be studied on your own, and you can gain a lot of light, comprehension and help that way. But learning face to face is where the gold lies.

A living esoteric school is the heart of the Great Work: it's where we can put the third factor into practice in a very real, everyday way, serving others, sharing what we've learned, and being helped in return. Being among people who share the same values and the same yearning is like nectar for the Essence.

If you'd like help finding a Gnostic school or group near you, write to us and we'll do our best to help.
