The introductory note at the Hellfire books site suggests that the essays and the title were only finished sometime in the early thirties. This is incorrect as they had already been translated by Martha Küntzel in the 1920’s (the title as well: “Kleine Aufsätze, die zur Wahrheit leiten”). In fact, the two essay “Man” and “Mastery” were first published in 1928, in German translations, in the first two issues of the Fraternitas Saturni’s journal “Saturn Gnosis”.
