The Lost Pillars of Enoch: When Science and Religion Were One

This book explores the unified science-religion of early humanity and its impact on religion and spirituality.

Esoteric tradition believes that at the dawn of human civilization, there existed a unified science-religion, a spiritual understanding of the universe and our place in it. The biblical Enoch, also known as Hermes Trismegistus, Thoth, or Idris, was seen as the guardian of this sacred knowledge, inscribed on pillars called Enoch’s or Seth’s pillars. Author Tobias Churton investigates the controversial Jewish and Egyptian origins of Josephus’s famous story about Seth’s descendants saving knowledge on two pillars from a global catastrophe. He traces the fragments of this sacred knowledge through initiated circles, influencing civilization through Hermetic, Gnostic, Kabbalistic, Masonic, Hindu, and Islamic mystical knowledge.
