A student of G駻ard Anaclet Vincent Encausse, better known as Papus, founder of the Martinist Order, into which S馘ir was initiated. S馘ir's first text, \u003cem\u003eLes Miroirs Magiques\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eMagic Mirrors\u003c\/em\u003e), was published in 1894 by Lucien Chamuel. This work, along with others like \u003cem\u003eLes Temp駻aments et la Culture psychique\u003c\/em\u003e (1894), \u003cem\u003eLes Incantations\u003c\/em\u003e (1897), and \u003cem\u003eLa M馘ecine occulte\u003c\/em\u003e (1900), reflects his profound knowledge in various domains of esotericism, including Kabbalah, astral light, and magical practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this collection of two of S馘ir's works, Austin Avison introduces Paul S馘ir, situating him in the exciting period of societal and cultural changes during the pre-war years in Europe. Avison then offers a translation of S馘ir's \u003cem\u003eDreams: Theories-Practice-Interpretation\u003c\/em\u003e, a short discourse of how dreams function, their art, and a list of dream interpretations, and finally his translation of \u003cem\u003eMagic Letters\u003c\/em\u003e, which offers an insight into S馘ir himself not only through his own prologue, but also in the collection of letters he curated for the collection. These two texts, along with S馘ir's other contributions, marked a significant chapter in the development of French esotericism in the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul S馘ir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1914166256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914166259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hadean Press Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.41d","brand":"Paul S馘ir","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44716637683967,"sku":"9781914166259","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe9ffa3a-a30c-40bb-8355-9040a7ee3743.jpg?v=1705683097","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dreams-letters-paul-sdir-9781914166259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
