Tau Sir Hasirim

Allen H. Greenfield (b. 1946), also known by his ecclesiastical name Tau Sir Hasirim, is an American occultist, UFOlogist, writer, editor, and Gnostic Bishop of Ecclesia Gnostica Universalis who resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Greenfield’s ongoing essay project, “The True History of Wicca” was included in Richard Metzger’s anthology from Disinformation’s The Book of Lies in 2003.

Greenfield’s book Secret Cipher of the UFOnauts was reviewed by Robert Anton Wilson in Wilson’s Everything is Under Control. This review discusses how Greeenfield builds on the principles established in Carl Jung’s 1952 book, Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky.

His other works include

• one of the few sources of information on the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light, The Story of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light.
• the only comprehensive single volume history of an Egyptian Rite of Freemasonry, The Compleat Rite of Memphis.
• the definitive, authorized annotated edition of Charles Stansfeld Jones’ Liber Thirty-One.
