Salt Lake City, UT: Paracelsus Research Society, 1970. First Edition Thus. Ten loose 17 inch x 22 inch color plates, and accompanying booklet, housed in a 17.5 inch x 22.5 inch plain cardboard portfolio, with original printed title label. Booklet: softcover, octavo, (iv) + 44pp. stapled in original cream printed wrappers, printed in black, with b&w illustrations. The booklet has a stated limitation of 500 numbered copies, although this copy is un-numbered. An extremely scarce set - doubtless most were lost or destroyed due to their large size and relative fragility - by Frater Albertus Spagyricus (Dr. Richard Albert Riedel, 1911-1984); founder of the Paracelsus Research Society in Salt Lake City. The set comprises material on cyclic patterns, cosmic rays, cosmic cycles, daily cycles, the Tree of Life, the use of color and sound, etc as taught in the curriculum of the Paracelsus College and published in "The Seven Rays of the Q.B.L." (1968). According to the Introduction the set was issued in response to a request by readers of "The Seven Rays of the Q.B.L." to "make the cyclic charts contained therein available in a larger format, to better check the events in the life of man and the sphere of his historical existence." The booklet itself serves as a guide to the material, and also includes "additional charts and explanations not found in "The Seven Rays of the Q.B.L." The booklet is lightly creased in the top corner, but is otherwise fine condition. Several of the charts are a little darkened and dusty at the margins, and one has a long tear, closed with tissue-tape on the verso. The portfolio is rubbed, creased and has a few stains and some old tape adhering to it, but was obviously intended for practical storage and transportation, rather than as a thing of beauty. Overall a VG or better example of a very unusual set. Item #59473
