Dominion Press Is Proud to Announce the Publication of

The Golden Thread: The Timeless Wisdom of the Western Mystery Traditions

by Joscelyn Godwin

Foreword by Richard Smoley

The Western Esoteric Tradition—which includes magic, Hermeticism,
Gnosticism, alchemy, and theosophy—can be viewed as a continuous
thread running beneath the surface of Western history. Those within
the walls of traditional faith, and even more so those outside it,
have all drawn upon its perennial wisdom throughout the ages. “The
Golden Thread” traces the interconnectedness of esoteric wisdom in
the Western world, from classical antiquity to contemporary Europe
and America. Every chapter makes reference to some aspect of
contemporary life and issues of immediate concern. Educated readers
who are curious about the esoteric and mystery traditions and
interested in finding surprising new approaches that veer away from
the trends of current thought will be particularly drawn to “The
Golden Thread.”
