Dr. Georg Lomer Bio

The life of Georg Lomer was very private, even obscure. He was born in Loosten near Wismar on September 12, 1877, and died in 1957. Apparently, he was a physician for most of his working life. He left behind him a remarkable work entitled Seven Hermetic Letters. Lomer published his own work, and it was printed without any dates whatsoever, so that we are uncertain even of the decade in which it was written; it seems, however, to have been produced during the 1920s or 1930s.

Lomer was concerned primarily with developing a course of training in the Hermetic arts; he never sought publicity, since he knew full well that his work would be followed only by a dedicated few. Lomer’s letters on Hermetics did, however, play an interesting role in the later work of the great magus Franz Bardon. In the original edition of Frabato the Magician, a few pages were appended to the work under the title of High Magic. These pages represent papers found in Bardon’s home at the time of his death; they were written in Czech and originally assumed to have come from his own hand. They are, however, extracts from Lomer’s Hermetic letters. Bardon attached sufficient importance to Lomer’s work to translate it from German into Czech and circulate it among his own students.

Even now, Lomer’s unique work will be found to be a valuable adjunct to the Franz Bardon opus as well as a powerful philosophical statement in its own right.
