Septem Sermones ad Mortuos (Seven Sermons to the Dead) is a mystical, "Gnostic" text written by Carl G. Jung
- Jung’s Influence in the Spanish-Speaking World: Psychoanalysis and analytical psychology have deep roots in Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia. Spanish translations of Jung’s Red Book and Memories, Dreams, Reflections are bestsellers.
- The Esoteric Renaissance: Spanish-speaking communities have a vibrant interest in Gnosticism, thanks to figures like Samael Aun Weor. The Seven Sermons align perfectly with Gnostic cosmology, making the PDF highly sought after.
- Accessibility: Many original English PDFs are difficult to read due to archaic Latin and German stylings. A clear, poetic Spanish translation makes the dense symbolism more approachable.
It was a facsimile of the Liber Novus—The Red Book—accompanied by a smaller, unassuming sheaf of papers. This was the Septem Sermones ad Mortuos.
Elias had read the theories. Most academics dismissed the Seven Sermons as a mere intellectual exercise, a footnote in the biography of Carl Gustav Jung. They claimed it was a "psychological novel" written to distance Jung from the overwhelming content of his visions. But Elias knew the local legends. He knew that in 1916, the dead had not just been a metaphor.
