About the author
Harriette Augusta and Frank Homer Curtiss are seminal figures in the Western esoteric tradition, founders of The Order of Christian Mystics. Emerging from the fertile soil of early 20th-century spiritual inquiry, they synthesized advanced Christian mysticism with the rich lineage of Western mystery schools. Their endeavor, initially known as The Order of the Fifteen, aimed to bridge the perceived chasm between orthodox Christian teachings and the burgeoning spiritual insights of the era, notably drawing inspiration from Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society. Through Harriette, they transmitted profound teachings, often referred to as emanating from "The Teacher of the Order," guiding thousands across the globe via correspondence, expansive publications, and public lectures. Their philosophy champions an inner awakening within the Christian framework, offering a path for Westerners to explore the deeper, mystical dimensions of their faith. The Curtiss’s legacy endures, providing seekers today with a potent and accessible avenue into the heart of Christian occultism and the enduring wisdom of the Western mystery tradition.
