North Ferriby, England: T.B.O.T.P. Publications, ND ( c.1940 ). First Edition. Softcover. Small quarto. 78pp. Original textured pale blue wrappers stapled at spine; silver symbolic hexagram seal affixed to lower front wrapper. The book has two title pages. The first has the conventional title and publication data, the second, which follows a short preface, is printed in blue and reads "The Brothers of the Path / Official Publication / No. XXIV" and has "Issued on Loan to Student number [in ink: B/0939] Student's record satisfactory [signed in ink B. Spencer-Shaw] Director of Studies. Countersigned by ... [in ink - initials - difficult-to-decipher but probably AG-G - i.e. Anthony Greville Gascoigne]. The Preface suggests that the text here given is strictly private and not to be shown to anyone, and that they are "Not to be used by the student until Lesson 25 [of the separately issued lessons of T.B.O.T.P.] Intermediate (second year) course has been studied and a fair degree of proficiency attained." The Brothers of the Path was an obscure Yorkshire occult group which drew much of its inspiration from the rituals and practices of the Golden Dawn, as published by Israel Regardie, and from Regardie's own works. The group was founded in the late 1930s and offered a mail-order course, which, if suitably completed, would lead to acceptance into the Inner Order. It also published a journal - called The Golden Dawn - to which Regardie contributed at least one piece. Its founder - and the author of this work - was known as Anthony Greville-Gascoigne, although as Cherry Gilchrist has suggested, the name is almost certainly a pseudonym, possibly of one Tom Sumpton. Staples rusty & slightly discoloring spine, wrappers slightly rubbed & discolored, otherwise a solid, internally-clean near-VG copy of truly rare work. Item #50114
