The Chaldean Oracles are a collection of short, manifest-style ancient philosophical and religious texts attributed to Zoroaster, the founder of Zoroastrianism. The Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster are believed to have originated in the 2nd or 3rd century CE and consist of a series of cryptic verses or aphorisms. These verses were considered sacred and were used in divination and spiritual practices by various ancient philosophers and mystics.

The Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster" edited and revised by Sapere Aude, with an introduction by L. O. (Percy Bullock) was first published by the London Theosophical Publishing Society in 1895. This is rare a 1950s reprint put out by Occult Research Press. The book was considered of some importance within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and Crowley clearly made use of it when constructing his Liber XXV (Ritual of the Star Ruby). It is a valuable resource for all students of Hermeticism, Alchemy, Kabalah and western esotericism in general.
