The Count St. Germain was a man of mystery. An 18th century European aristocrat of unknown origin. He had no visible means of support, but no lack of resources, and moved in high social circles. He was a renowned conversationalist and a skilled musician. He dropped hints that he was centuries old and could grow diamonds. He never ate in public, was ambidextrous, and as far as anyone could tell, totally celibate. He served as a backchannel diplomat between England and France, and may have played some role in Freemasonry. He hobnobbed with Marie Antoinette, Catherine the Great, Voltaire, Rousseau, Mesmer, and Casanova. He dabbled in materials and textile technology as well as alchemy, as did m...
Isabel Cooper-Oakley (1853/4-1914) was a prominent Theosophist and author. Born in Amritza, India, Isabel married Alfred J. Oakley, and they then both changed their surname to Cooper-Oakley. Sometime in the late 1890s, G.R.S. Mead became Isabel's brother-in-law when he married her sister, another prominent Theosophist, Laura Cooper. Isabel Cooper-Oakley died March 3, 1914, at Budapest, Hungary. Among her many works was The Comte de St. Germain, or The Count of St. Germain. The Count of St. Germain ( 1710-1784 ) has been variously described in secular histories as a courtier, adventurer, charlatan, inventor, alchemist, pianist, violinist and amateur composer. Under the name "St. Germain" he is recognized as a Spiritual Master of central importance to Theosophy, and under the name "Ascended Master Saint Germain" he is recognized as a Spiritual Master of central importance not only by the Saint Germain Foundation, but by the various schools of Ascended Master Teachings generally.
St. Germain was considered a mystic, philosopher, and master alchemist of the 17th century who held the key to immortality. Sightings of him after his death by high-profile, credible people added to the legend. This is the most rare and sought after work concerning his life. The author was able to procure documents unavailable to others, which thereby allows some of the mystery to drop away. Nowhere beyond this book will one find documents written in St. Germains own hand, providing proof of his whereabouts and concerns during certain parts of his life. The author does a great job tracing his movements between countries, revealing many mysteries and secrets that surround him.
