Logos, Mantram, Theurgy

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy is a book by Samael Aun Weor, first published in 1959. It collects essays and practical teachings that move between metaphysical explanation and hands-on esoteric practice, including investigations of the Logos and the divine Word, reflections on mantrams and theurgy, and material on chakras and astral experience.

The text reads like a practitioner’s handbook—bold, direct, and aimed at readers seeking transformational techniques rather than purely academic study. It also addresses the distinction between white and black magic, situating these practices within a broader framework of spiritual discipline.

Placed within the author’s wider body of work, the book reflects Samael Aun Weor’s synthesis of Gnostic, Theosophical, and occult ideas into a system of applied spiritual work. Influential within modern Gnostic and esoteric circles, it remains a compact introduction to some of his central practices and themes, while also attracting debate and controversy.
