Aurora — Jacob Boehme, Translated By Marion S. Owens, Si

Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin was so inspired by the writings of the mystic Jacob Boehme (1575-1624) that he learned German when he was forty years old so that he could read his
“Second Master’s” original words. In the text below, Provincial Master Marion Owens translates from Baroque German into English excerpts from Boehme’s description of his Spiritual
Awakening, in his famous first work, Aurora.
