Alistair Lees - ENGLISH ILLUMINATI

Postby Erasmus » Thu Dec 19, 2019 3:11 pm

Hello,

I received an email from Lewis Masonic about this book: by Alistair Lees - ENGLISH ILLUMINATI
I tried to "google" the title and the author and found nothing.

here is an excerpt of the presentation :
(...) " The book starts with a chance discovery - a secret manuscript locked in a box and hidden away in a private occult library. Within was found a handwritten notebook by Dr William Wynn Westcott. It had lain there for over a century, waiting patiently to be discovered and its contents brought to light."
(...)
"Building on the scholarly work of The Secret School of Wisdom, the story of the English Illuminati starts a hundred years after the original order was banned. In 1880 the order was relaunched by Theodore Reuss in Munich and it is from this organisation that the secret documents originated, eventually finding themselves in the hands of W.W. Westcott. Westcott took it upon himself to have them translated and to introduce the Illuminati to English society at the turn of the 20th century. Discover the fascinating men and women who were members of the order and other characters and mysterious societies active at the time and how they all fit into the story"

I wonder if this is a novel or a study ?
Do any forum member knows Alistair Lees as an author ?

Regards,
Erasmus

Thanks Eric,
I am usually cautious when I read the word « illuminati - on a book cover.

Are the papers presented only for SRIA members ?

Anyway I add a Christmas gift to my list.
