FOOTNOTES
THREE: GNOSTIC ESCHATOLOGY
a. Dee’s Enochian workings combine both alchemical images and apocalyptic content. See Geoffrey James’s The Enochian Magick of Dr. John Dee (St. Paul, Minn.: Llewellyn, 1998). For a look at Dee’s alchemical writings, see Gordon James’s The Secrets of John Dee (Edmonds, Wash.: Holmes Publishing Group, 1995.)
SIX: GRAIL KNIGHTS, PERFECTI, AND THE ILLUMINATED SAGES OF PROVENCE
b. The area around Glanum and Nostradamus’s hometown, Saint-Remy-de-Provence, is mentioned in six quatrains, all related to the discovery of a treasure or a “mystery.”
TEN: THE MYSTERY OF THE GREAT CROSS AT HENDAYE
c. Tropical refers to the zodiac as canonized in the second century B.C.E.; sidereal refers to the actual location of the signs as they are at the present.
APPENDIX A: FULCANELLI ON THE GREEN LANGUAGE
d. From Fulcanelli, Le Mystère des cathédrales, trans. Mary Sworder (London: Neville Spearman, 1971), pp. 41–44.
e. The Life of Gargantua and Pantagruel by François Rabelais is an esoteric work, a five-volume novel in cant. The good curé of Meudon reveals himself in it as a great initiate, as well as a first-class cabalist.
f. It is said that Tiresias was deprived of his sight for revealing to mortals the secrets of Olympus. However, he lived “for seven, eight or nine ages of man” and is supposed to have been successively man and woman.
g. Philosopher, whose life, crammed full of legends, miracles and prodigious deeds, seems to be extremely hypothetical. The name of this semi-fabulous personage seems to me to be just a mytho-hermetic image of the compost or philosophic rebis, realized by the union of brother and sister, of Gabritius and Beya, of Apollo and Diana. In that case, the marvels recounted by Philostratus, being chemical in character, should not surprise us.
APPENDIX E: THE CYCLIC CROSS OF HENDAYE
h. Text of this appendix is from Fulcanelli, Le Mystère des cathédrales, trans. Mary Sworder (London: Neville Spearman, 1971), pp. 165–71.
i. Translator’s note: millenarism, chiliasm, doctrine of belief in the millennium.
j. Latin spatium, with the meaning of place, situation, given to it by Tacitus. It corresponds to the Greek Xωρίον, root Xωρα, country, territory.
k. The first three are emperors, the fourth is only a king, the Sun King, thus indicating the decline of the star and its last radiation. This is dusk, the forerunner of the long cyclic night, full of horror and terror, “the abomination of desolation.”
l. Revelation, ch.l v, v. 6 and 7.
m. Ezekiel, ch. I, v. 4, 5, 10 and 11.
NOTES
CHAPTER 1
1. Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1965).
2. For the world before the Great War, see Barbara Tuchman’s The Proud Tower (New York: Macmillan and Company, 1966). John Keegan’s The First World War (London: Random House, 1998) is the best single-volume work on the actual course of the war, while Robert H. Ziegler’s America’s Great War (London: Rowan and Littlefield, 2000) describes America’s role in winning the war and losing the peace. Paul Fussell’s The Great War and Modern Memory (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1975) charts the importance of the war as metaphor for the modern world. Modris Ekstein’s Rites of Spring: The Great War and the Birth of the Modern Age (New York: Doubleday, 1989) describes in absorbing detail the postwar intellectual ferment; see in particular chapter 7, “Night Dancer,” pp. 241–74.
3. Other transformative firsts for 1926 include the first television broadcast, the first solid-fuel rocket launch, publication of The Theory of the Gene, the beginning of modern genetic research, the first motion picture with sound, and the founding of the first science fiction magazine, Astounding Stories. The year also saw the rise of two of the century’s most prominent dictators, Josef Stalin and Benito Mussolini, while Adolf Hitler worked on Mein Kampf in prison and Father Coughlin begin his radio career as a racist and right-wing propagandist.
4. Le Mystère des cathédrales (Paris: Éditions des Champs-Elysées, Omnium littéraire, 1957). Strangely enough, the English edition translated by Mary Sworder (London: Neville Spearman, 1971) is also entitled Le Mystère des cathédrales. In this work, we shall use both the French and English titles interchangeably, and the citations in the notes will refer to the English edition of Le Mystère.
5. André Breton, Manifestos of Surrealism, trans. Richard Seaver and Helen R. Lane (Ann Arbor: Univ. of Michigan Press, 1969). For an excellent overview of surrealism’s esoteric roots, see Nadia Choucha, Surrealism and the Occult: Shamanism, Magic, Alchemy, and the Birth of an Artistic Movement (Rochester, Vt.: Destiny Books, 1992).
6. Fulcanelli, Le Mystère des cathédrales (London: Neville Spearman, 1971), pp. 41–44. There is also an American edition (Albuquerque: Brotherhood of Life, 1984).

so Maurice Tuchman et al., The Spiritual in Art: Abstract Painting 1890–1985 (New York: Abbeville Press, 1986), pp. 261–67 for a discussion of Duchamp’s alchemical symbolism.

12. One might not consider Joyce to be a metaphysical or esoteric writer until one looks at his original and personal creation of a “green language” in Ulysses and in Finnegan’s Wake.
