Papus (Gérard Encausse)

The "Hippocrates of the Occult," a doctor of the body and the spirit who brought the Martinist tradition into the light of the 19th century. He represents the "Scientific Magic," the effort to find the biological and mathematical laws behind the miracle. He is the tarot of the Bohemians and the pulse of the secret societies, the one who treated the Tsars of Russia with the same focus he used to decipher the names of God.
