As the twentieth century approached, and the Sun left Pisces to enter the Age of Aquarius, mystics predicted a major awakening in mankind's intellectual, religious, scientific, and spiritual pursuits. Among them was Thomas Henry Burgoyne, a Scottish astrologer and psychic who belonged to the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, a Hermetic occult group. From a young age, Burgoyne claimed to have interacted with members of the Brotherhood of Light, advanced beings who attempt to lead humanity to its destiny. Decades later, friends urged him to share his wisdom-including his knowledge of the Brotherhood-with the public. The Light of Egypt is the result. Originally published as two volumes, this new version combines both books into one complete mystical library for any student of the occult. Burgoyne delves deeply into occult studies, including mystical teachings from ancient Egypt and Chaldea. New Age adherents have long considered the book an accessible yet thorough study of the meaning of life, paranormal activities, reincarnation, and other mystical topics. As the preface notes, the purpose of the book is to "explain the true spiritual connection between God and man, the soul and the stars . . . ."
