Summary
George Robert Stow Mead: Echoes of Gnosis
Under this collective title was published a series of small editions taken from, or based on, the old mystical, theosophical, and gnostic writings, in order to make them more accessible to an ever-widening circle of those who love such things; echoes of the mystical experiences and initial knowledge of their spiritual ancestors. There are many who love the life of the spirit and yearn for the light of Gnostic illumination, but are ill-equipped to study the ancient texts first-hand or to follow the path of the scholar themselves. The purpose of these small editions is therefore to serve as an introduction to the study of the more difficult literature on the subject; we also hope that for some, who have not yet heard of gnosis, it will be a springboard to higher things.

VOL. I GNOSIS OF THE MIND
VOL. II HYMNS OF HERMES
VOL. III VISION OF ARIDEUS
