A distinctive blend of esoteric Jewish and Christian currents converged in Pasqually's system, now known as Martinezism. He claimed to work under the guidance of an anterior order and of “teachers and faithful friends” who had instructed him. Alongside these influences, the spiritual devotions of the Catholic Church were central to his practice, and he required his adepts to recite many of its canonical Hours.
Foremost among these was the Divine Office of the Holy Spirit, which by Pasqually's time had been reduced to a brief Book of Hours. This volume restores the tradition to its full depth. It includes a complete medieval manuscript of a rare thirteenth‑century Office of the Holy Spirit, together with the shorter Hours printed in 1725.
Both texts are fully transcribed and translated, offering readers direct access to a devotional current that shaped Pasqually's theurgy and the wider Élus Coën tradition.
The book is available as a full‑colour hardcover and as a black‑and‑white paperback.
"Beautifully produced and thoughtfully laid out and illustrated, this book should be of great interest both to liturgical historians and those who are interested in the Order of Élus Coëns, but till now have found the office of the Holy Spirit an elusive document." Piers Vaughan, Primate of the Apostolic Church of the Golden & Rosy Cross
"M.R. Osborne is an exceptional writer on the topic of Pasqually, reintegration and other Martinist topics. This latest gem is an outstanding addition to my library." Amazon 5-Star review
This book opens a doorway into the rich spiritual tradition of the medieval Divine Office of the Holy Spirit, and its unexpected connection to the eighteenth‑century mystic Martinez de Pasqually. It reveals a rare treasure of divine liturgy—an ancient devotional office that nearly disappeared from history but found renewed purpose within Pasqually's unique system.
The volume reproduces this office in full. It follows a structured cycle of psalm‑based prayers traditionally observed at set hours throughout the day, and shows how Pasqually -a Catholic convert of Portuguese‑Jewish heritage - wove these devotions into the spiritual discipline of his Élus Coëns.
Beautifully illustrated and carefully edited, the book presents the original Latin texts alongside clear English translations. It offers historical insight into a devotional current that shaped Pasqually's theurgy, while also serving as a practical resource for modern readers.
Whether you are a Christian seeking a deeper contemplative practice, a student of esoteric traditions, or a collector of rare liturgical texts, this volume provides a unique opportunity to reclaim a long‑hidden strand of spiritual wisdom.
