Summary

Taught solely in secret for millennia, the science of the seven rays was introduced outside of the ancient mystery schools of Western and Hindu tradition by some of the great occultists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: H. P. Blavatsky, Manly Hall, C. W. Lead beater, and Alice Bailey. Based on the soul's seven-faceted nature, the seven ray system underlies metaphysical traditions around the world through its connections with the seven musical notes in the scale, the seven days in the week, the seven chakras, the seven colors of the rainbow, and the seven sacred planets. Laying out the key principles behind this spiritual science, Michel Coquet explores the seven sacred gemstones of the seven rays-diamond, sapphire, emerald, jasper, topaz, ruby, and amethyst-and shows that not all precious stones have true mystical powers: they must be charged, either naturally or through ritual, with a living deva or angelic presence before they can effect spiritual transformation and physical, mental, and soul healing.
