At the Court of Rudolph the second, John Dee and Cornelius Drebel create a device to realise the vision of Hermes Trismegistus to make Humankind dwellers in supercellestial realms, privy to divine knowledge, consorting with Angels in a Universal Empire of Hermetic Wisdom. The unseen effects of this resonate down the centuries in a multitude of settings. The tortured architectural demonologies and enchanted thickets of Gothic nightmare that are the streets of Prague - The formal Thameside gardens of Elizabeth the first's Court - a London in the freezing grip of Polar Demons - The ice-storm lashed shores of the Baltic - The Steppes of Russia - The dazzling Court of the Tsar - The treasure filled temple of magic that lies beneath a Cathedral of St Petersburg - A house of cabalistic secrets owned by the Ba'al Shem of Wapping - The modest home of a Welshman too 'Angelic' to be earning his living as a journalist - The intrigue laden cloisters of Oxford - The ruins of blitzed London where a solitary Magus pursues his Art - A vast cathedral of light where the gathered cabalists and magi of the ages, including Dee, Meyrink, Crowley, Roerich, Blavatsky and Fortune, come face to face with all the Orders of Angels and Demons that the device has helped them to summon.

The return of Ron Weighell to the fantastic literature is the return of the Blood to the Heart of the Mysteries.

A living mystery of the occult European literature, Ron Weighell is amongst the last greatest initiates of our time. We are confident that The Tears of the Gods is the single most important esoterical work to appear since René Guénon's La Roi du Monde and Das Grüne Gesicht of Gustav Meyrink. Not for the lukewarm nor for the post-modern dilettante.
