Lon Milo DuQuette

"The Tarot of Ceremonial Magick" is a new deck created by DuQuette and published by U. S. Games. In this groundbreaking book, he explains the symbology of the cards. On each card is shown the Zodiacal, Enochian, Ceremonial, Goetic, Tattvic, and Elemental components, along with the card's place in each of those systems, and its relationships to other cards. For students of Crowley's works, this new deck and book makes his conceptual connections more accessible.

The Faquian Council

Personal life stories of Starseeds and ET Hybrids incarnated on Earth. Their purpose for being here is to help other Starseeds awaken, to unite Earth's Star family, and to help expand the minds of Humanity. A Starseed, or Starbeing, is someone who lives on Earth, but whose soul is of Extraterrestrial (ET) identity and origin. This self-awareness and knowledge of having ET origins is what we call being awakened. Awakening to one's true self is a very personal, spiritual and self-empowering journey. This path is most often lonely, challenging and not understood nor supported by mainstream society.

Idries Shah

A mysterious chest is buried unopened. A wondrous caravan brings fortune to a simple cobbler. An outcast princess creates a new life in the wilderness. Some of the 78 tales in this remarkable book first appeared in print over a thousand years ago, others are medieval classics. Yet, each has a special relevance for us in the 21st century. All are told with Idries Shah's distinctive wit and grace and the author's own commentary notes. Although enormously attractive as sheer entertainment, dervish tales were never presented merely on the level of fable, legend or folklore. They stand comparison in wit, construction and piquancy with the finest stories of any culture, yet their true function as Sufi teaching stories is so little known in the modern world that no technical or popular term exist to describe them. For centuries, dervish masters have instructed their disciples by means of these tales, which are held to convey powers of increasing perception unknown to the...

The Book of the Dead is not a single text but a compilation of spells that the ancient Egyptians believed would assist them in the afterlife as they made their perilous journey toward the realm of the gods and the ultimate state of eternity. No two copies are identical. The spells are often accompanied by colored vignettes, which graphically show the imagined landscape of the Netherworld, the gods and demons whom the deceased will meet, and the critical “weighing of the heart”a??the judgment that will determine whether the traveler will be admitted into the afterlife or condemned to destruction by the monstrous “Devourer.” With contributions from leading scholars and detailed catalog entries that interpret the spells and painted scenes, this fascinating and important book affords a greater understanding of ancient Egyptian belief systems and poignantly reveals the hopes and fears of mortal man about the “world” beyond death. The whole is beautifully illustrated with specially...

Michel Lamy

Prolific author and pioneer of the science fiction novel, Jules Verne also possessed a hidden side that was encrypted into all his works--his active participation in the occult milieu of late-nineteenth-century France. Among the many esoteric secrets to be found are significant clues to the Rennes-le-Chateau mystery, including the location of a great treasure in the former Cathar region of France and the survival of the heirs to the Merovingian dynasty. Verne’s books also reveal Rosicrucian secrets of immortality, and some are constructed, like Mozart’s The Magic Flute, in accordance with Masonic initiation. The passe-partout to Verne’s work (the skeleton key that is also the name of Phileas Fogg’s servant in Around the World in Eighty Days) lies in the initiatory language he employed to inscribe a second or even third layer of meaning beneath the main narrative, which is revealed in his skilled use of word play, homonyms, anagrams, and numerical combinations. The surface...

More than 100,000 people, mainly women, were prosecuted for the crime of witchcraft between 1450 and 1750. This new anthology looks at the connections between gender and witchcraft and how notions of witchcraft changed over time.
