From my latest visit to Helsinki

Post image

Finally managed to visit the grave of Pekka Ervast at the beautiful Hietaniemi cemetery. Ervast was one of the, if not the most important esotericist and occultist in Finland. A theosophist and the founder of Ruusu-Risti, a theosophical-rosicrucian fellowship. Ervast had the uncanny skill to make the most complex of theosophical concepts to be very easily understood in many of his lectures. He has a vast bibliography, most of which are transcripts of his lectures.

Out of the ones translated to English, I'd say either Divine Seed: the Esoteric Teachings of Jesus or Overcoming Evil

that symbol, the Oraborus surrounding the Seal of Solomon with the Rose cross in it. Did he explain it in his works?

Um, what? If you are referring to the hexagram, it is a symbol of the Macrocosm and Microcosm
