Miracle-worker or man of straw? Read the fascinating story of Count Cagliostro, a cult figure of European society, an alchemist, healer and Freemason, who has inspired both wild devotion and savage ridicule.
The Masonic Magician tells of Cagliostro's extraordinary life, complete with the first English translation of his Egyptian Rite. The authors find that the Roman Church, and history itself, have done him an injustice by considering him an impostor and a heretic. This engaging account, drawing on new documentary evidence, shows that the man was a genuine visionary and true champion of Freemasonry. His teachings have much to reveal to us today not just of the secrets of the movement, but of the mysterious hostility it continues to attract.
