Under the influence of Martinez de Pasquales, who taught him a species of mysticism drawn from cabbalistic sources, he founded a cult of secret, magical and theurgical rites. He went on to become one of the major preachers of mysticism. Arthur Edward Waite’s biography of his life is one of the most detailed works about this man, who was influential on the formation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
