About the Author
Nina Rudnikova (1890-1941) was a Russian occultist who studied under Grigori Mebes, a renowned Martinist. Mebes’s work inspired notable authors such as Vladimir Shmakov and Valentin Tomberg. The Bolshevik revolution forced Rudnikova to flee to Estonia, where she shared her esoteric knowledge. Her magnum opus, The Solar Way, details her insights and understanding of the Major Arcana of the Tarot as an initiatory system. Through a friend, her notes eventually made their way from Europe to Latin America, allowing her esoteric lineage to continue in the New World.
Yury Pankratov, a native of Russia, earned his PhD in Computer Science before developing an interest in Western esotericism. His journey into the occult began in 2012, inspired by the writings of John Michael Greer, who was then the Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America. This led Yury to study ceremonial magic, particularly the Golden Dawn tradition, as well as Hermetic sciences like astrology and alchemy. In 2015, Yury relocated to the United States, where he now lives with his wife, Anastasia.
