Mystery of the Long Lost 8th, 9th & 10th Books of Moses explores the figure of Moses, questions surrounding books traditionally attributed to him, and the customs, beliefs, prayers, and spiritual practices associated with the ancient world.
The book is arranged in three parts. It begins with an accessible biography intended to present Moses as a historical and human figure rather than a distant legendary character. It then examines arguments concerning the authorship of additional Books of Moses and presents the views of earlier religious writers and students who believed the traditional five books may not tell the complete story.
The final section gathers a variety of customs, superstitions, prayers, traditional remedies, and practices associated with the period. Gamache compares these older traditions with beliefs and practices that continued into more recent times, emphasizing the similarities between ancient spiritual concerns and the ways people still seek protection, guidance, healing, and assistance.
An unusual classic for readers interested in Moses, biblical folklore, occult history, religious traditions, and the enduring relationship between ancient belief and modern spiritual practice.
