Pascal Berverly Randolph (1825-1875 was an American writer and doctor.
Brought up by his sister, he left his family to join the navy. An accident forced him to change career and begin medical studies. He also started to become interested in Mesmer’s magnetism and its implications.
In 1850, he was initiated into the heart of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, then the Fraternity of the Rosae Crucis. He then became the Supreme Grand Master of the Supreme Grand Dome in the United States in 1858.
He met Eliphas Levy and studied the works of Saint Germain and Cagliostro in Paris where he also discovered details of a mysterious people, the Ansaireth.
His meeting with their chief, Narek El Gebel, led him on a series of initiatic journeys in Turkey, Greece and the Middle East.
On his return to the States, he joined the war of secession and raised a troupe of black soldiers who were known as the ‘Fremont Legion’.
At the end of the conflict, he settled in Boston as a doctor, where he opened a lodge for his order, and began various works on sexuality and sexual magic. This brought about his arrest and the opprobrium of the spiritualists.
Following another accident that enabled him to foresee his own death, he started a new romantic relationship which produced a son.
He continued publishing works and also led a circle of the Fraternity of Eulis.
He is the author of "Seership", "Love and the Master Passion", "Eulis and the History of Love" and "Magia Sexualis".
