{"product_id":"the-cloud-upon-the-sanctuary-esoteric-classics","title":"The Cloud Upon the Sanctuary: Esoteric Classics","description":"\u003cp\u003eKarl von Eckhartshausen was an 18th-century German mystic. The Cloud upon the Sanctuary is Christian mysticism veiled in hermetic code and often considered a classic among Rosicrucians and Theosophists. Eckhartshausen was briefly a member of Adam Weishaupt's Bavarian Illuminati but left for spiritual reasons. In this work, he cryptically mentions a \"society of the Elect\" that has existed from the very beginning of time as \"the invisible celestial Church\". He predicted that \"it is the society whose members form a theocratic republic, which one day will be the Regent Mother of the whole World.\" This book would later become a strong influence on the 19th-century members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Arthur Edward Waite offers an informative, historical introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44221749559457,"sku":"9781631184383","price":31.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1mmzw88g-front-shortedge-384_5b11ca9a-47b7-4c6d-8d15-37e913c0ad72.jpg?v=1718401958","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/the-cloud-upon-the-sanctuary-esoteric-classics","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
