The Temple & Vault Press Classic Series revives the great esoteric works that shaped the spiritual imagination of the modern world. Curated and introduced by Travis Trinca, each volume presents a carefully typeset edition of classic texts that have influenced or reflected the Rosicrucian tradition and Western initiatic thought.

This series focuses on timeless works of mystical and didactic fiction, stories that conceal spiritual teachings beneath the veil of allegory, symbolism, and romance. Each book includes historical context, commentary, and restored illustrations from rare early editions, offering readers both scholarly value and aesthetic refinement.

With titles such as Zanoni by Edward Bulwer-Lytton and An Adventure Among the Rosicrucians by Franz Hartmann, the Temple & Vault Press Classic Series seeks to preserve and illuminate the initiatic literature of the past for a new generation of seekers.

Last year, I was very grateful to catch-up with Michael Osborne at Freemasons’ Hall, and discuss our shared interests in the Western Esoteric Tradition. It quickly became apparent to me that Michael understood that Rosicrucianism was not just s

Book review of 'The Temple and the Vault' by Travis Trinca from Lewis Masonic, featuring a cover image with light streaming from a vault, along with a quote discussing myths, wisdom, and community. Hygeia branding included.

“Despite this worrying situation, Travis Trinca explores its founding legends and, as he unlocks the staircase of degrees’ symbolism and dynamics, inviting us to re-visit and re-discover what seemed outdated and fossilized. He brushes the dust and reveals the beauty and depth of those masonic legends and show us how they are STILL relevant to our modern time’s needs.” - HYGEIA

I’m a Melbourne-based researcher with a lifelong fascination for the inner teachings of the Western Mystery Tradition.

My first book, The Temple and the Vault, was published by Lewis Masonic in 2024 and has received warm praise from readers across esoteric circles. Since then, I’ve presented to Masonic and Rosicrucian audiences across Australia, and I continue to explore the layered symbolism and spiritual insights that these traditions offer.

My second major release, The Rosicrucian Compendium, is currently in the works. It's both wide in scope and deeply personal, an attempt to bring clarity, heart, and depth to a path that has captivated seekers for centuries.

When I’m not writing or speaking, you’ll usually find me at a Lodge meeting, brewing craft beer, or hiking /camping in the wilderness.
