The 1st Lesser Arcanum

Only the genuine initiate of the hermetics truly knows what the First Lesser Arcanum means for the beginning adept's magical development. Until now, the true symbolic meaning of this card was passed down from Master to the most gifted students. This arcanum has been unknown outside the circles of initiation until present day. Franz Bardon passed the knowledge of this arcanum to Ernst Quintscher, the son of Wilhelm Quintscher. This way there has been an unbroken disclosure of knowledge within the "Hermetic League." Once the student practices this arcanum and the truths contained therein, he or she can be certain to absolve the course of Initiation into Hermetics all the way to the crowning goal.
