Cagliostro, Jung, and Antonio de Diego González

We are pleased to announce that Theion Publishing has contracted yet another new author for two forthcoming works, both to be published in English for the first time in newly revised and expanded editions.

Welcome to Antonio de Diego González!

Antonio de Diego González

Antonio de Diego González is a Spanish philosopher, anthropologist, writer, and translator whose research moves between Islamic and Western esotericism, Jungian thought, and symbolic anthropology.

He unites scholarship and practice. Initiated into several Western esoteric paths and rooted in the practice of West African Sufism, he approaches esotericism not merely as an academic field, but as a living path of knowledge and transformation. He is currently Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Málaga, Spain, where he teaches Ancient and Medieval Philosophy and the History of Esotericism. He is also a full member of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism.

He has authored more than fifty publications, some of which are mentioned in his author’s profile

Forthcoming Books for Theion (expected late 2027 / early 2028):

The first of these works is an exploratory commentary on C. G. Jung’s Black Books 1913–1932, approached not merely as psychological or historical documents, but as records of a chthonic descent through active imagination, dæmonic figures, ancient gods and imaginal symbols. At its centre lies a dark and buried gnosis of the soul, in which shadow, catastrophe, and the numinous become thresholds of transmutation. The work seeks to recover Jung beyond the received image: a visionary of the Zwischenwelt whose passage among the primordial images and powers of the collective unconscious reveals the possibility of spiritual renewal in a secularized world that has forgotten the language of the numinous.

The second book is a forthcoming edition and study of MS 6666: Cagliostro’s Egyptian Masonry, an extraordinary testimony to alchemy, theurgy, and initiatic resistance against the Enlightenment-born modern world. Beyond presenting the manuscript itself, the volume reconstructs a fascinating textual history of lost, displaced, and recovered sources, while tracing its esoteric antecedents and later influence, from ancient theurgy and Rosicrucian symbolism to the S.R.I.A., the Golden Dawn and the French occult revival surrounding Papus. It presents Cagliostro’s Egyptian Masonry not as a historical curiosity, but as a living document of theurgical practice, initiatic imagination, and counter-modern gnosis.
Both works originally appeared in Spanish, but will not be translated mechanically or simply reproduced in their previous form. Instead, both books are being restructured, expanded, and refined specifically for their English editions with Theion.

This is important to us. Theion’s aim is not merely to make these works available in another language, but to bring them into the distinct intellectual and aesthetic current of our catalogue that you and us value.

We look forward to sharing further details as these projects develop.
