What is the Secret Book of the Three Sovereigns 三皇內文遺秘? Is it a recovered fragment from the lost legendary grimoire, the Book of the Three Sovereigns 三皇文?

The Sān Huáng Wén 三皇文 (Book of the Three Sovereigns) refers to a collection of texts currently in the Taoist Canons. Whether they are fragments of the legendary grimoire by that same name, we can’t be sure.

The version of the texts in the canonized Book of the Three Sovereigns date back to the Tang (618 – 907 AD) and Song (960 – 1279 AD) dynasties, with passages integrated from Three Sovereigns texts dating to the Three Kingdoms Era (220 – 280 AD), Jin (266 – 420 AD), and Wei (386 – 534 AD).

The latter half of this video will be a walk-through of the Secret Book’s tutorial on the Seal of the Nine Immortal Realms 九老仙部印圖, a Fu talisman and spirit map for channeling Taiyi 太一, the Supreme Primordial God of Heaven, and unlocking untold powers from within.
