The Secret Doctrine, Volume II. Anthropogenesis

Chapter 1047

[←1037]

“I will mention to thee the writings ... respecting the belief and institutions of the Sabæans,” he says. “The most famous is the Book, The Agriculture of the Nabatheans, which has been translated by Ibn Wahohijah. This book is full of heathenish foolishness.... It speaks of preparations of Talismans, the drawing down of the powers of the Spirits, Magic, Demons, and Ghouls, which make their abode in the desert.” (Maimonides, quoted by Dr. D. Chwolsohn; Die Ssabier und der Ssabismus, ii. 458.) The Nabatheans of Mount Lebanon believed in the seven Archangels, as their forefathers had believed in the seven Great Stars, the abodes and bodies of these Archangels, which are believed in to this day by the Roman Catholics, as is shown elsewhere.
