"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." - Genesis 6:4
The Primordial Tradition: Introduction
Book II gathers the primordial roots of the Royal Art: the memory of the Golden Age, the Prisca Theologia, the antediluvian current, the first sacred civilizations, and the ancient keepers of Tradition and initiation. It is the Book in which the Work looks backward toward origin — Atlantis, Sumer, Khem, Zoroaster, Greece, the North, the East, and the deep ancestral sources of the Western Mystery Tradition. Book II remembers the Primordial Tradition: the ancient wisdom scattered through myth, temple, priesthood, kingship, ritual, sacred geography, and the first symbolic languages of humanity.
