The Gods: The Immaculate Conception
About this book
R. Swinburne Clymer takes the Christian term 'immaculate conception' into a Rosicrucian discussion of divine generation and spiritual purity. Ordinary theological language acquires a new set of occult associations.
The Gods belongs to Clymer's wider attempt to reconcile mystical Christianity with esoteric ideas about life and initiation. Its interpretations reflect the teachings of his movement and differ from established Christian doctrine. The unusual handling of a familiar phrase makes the volume useful for studying how early twentieth-century occult writers created new meanings within inherited religious vocabulary.
