The Mystery of Hyperborea
Julius Evola

Who were the Indo-Europeans? In The Mystery of Hyperborea, Julius Evola approaches this fascinating question from the perspective of radical traditionalism to uncover the deepest mysteries of the Aryan race. His collected writings show that all European cultures derive from a common source, implying the presence of an original race from which the indigenous peoples of Europe descended, and to which all of their traditional beliefs can be traced.

The Lightning and the Sun
Savitri Devi

A classic philosophical work about the historical inevitability of cultural decay and rebirth, written by one of Adolf Hitler's most devoted admirers. Savitri Devi couches her arguments in metaphor, using "lightning" to refer to forces of destruction and "sun" to refer to building in accordance with nature's eternal laws. Both are necessary, says Devi, since to build the pure and new one must first sweep away the rotting debris of the corrupt old order. Violence, per se, has no moral assignment; it's either worth its while or not, depending on what it aims for. For illustration, the author examines in detail the lives of three figures from history: Akhnaton, Genghis Khan, and Adolf Hitler. She argues that we are at the end of a cycle of history in which corruption and lies prevail over honor and truth, and that the time is ripe for the storm of violence that will precede the next golden age.

Hamlet's Mill
Giorgio de Santillana & Hertha von Dechend

A lost classic of modern perennialism, Hamlet's Mill was a significant but unrecognized contribution to the scientific understanding of ancient religions. Proceeding from the idea that mythology represents a pre-scientific technical language of natural phenomena, the authors perform a comparative analysis of texts and images from Scandinavia to India to the New World, demonstrating that an advanced knowledge of equinoctial precession is evident in all myths of a golden age and its passing. This is a digitally enhanced reprint of the first edition.

Baldr and Bible
Friedrich Doellinger

In Baldr and Bible, Friedrich Doellinger conducts thorough historical and archaeological research to uncover the true identity of Jesus and the ultimate nature of Christianity. Work in progress.

Sports Regulations for the Army
Anonymous

Approved in 1938 and published by E. S. Mittler & Son, Sports Regulations for the Army was a physical education manual for the land warfare component of the Wehrmacht. It was intended to give soldiers advice and instruction on elements of personal fitness and group discipline, as well as to direct commanders how best to implement these kinds of activities. The translation project was a long-running collaborative effort over a number of months, and the spectacular end product is the result of the work of many individuals on the dissident-right who volunteered their time.

Sacred Science
R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz

Schwaller de Lubicz was a mystic, Egyptologist, and co-founder of the esoteric right-wing group Les Veilleurs ("The Vigilants"), to which the young Rudolf Hess belonged. In Sacred Science, the author demonstrates how the natural philosophy of ancient Egypt was altered by the Greeks in their attempt to rationalize its fundamental concepts. Through an integrated study of these concepts, de Lubicz uncovers the transformative "royal principle" of metaphysical science held sacred by the ancient Egyptians.

The Hermetic Museum
Edited by A. E. Waite

"THE HERMETIC MUSEUM RESTORED AND ENLARGED was published in Latin at Frankfort, in the year 1678, and, as its noscript implies, it was an enlarged form of an anterior work which, appearing in 1625, is more scarce, but, intrinsically, of less value. Its design was apparently to supply in a compact form a representative collection of the more brief and less ancient alchemical writers" (from the preface).

This edition contains both volumes of the original text, including such classics of the alchemical tradition as The Book of Lambspring, The Golden Tripod (including the Twelve Keys of Basil Valentine), and The Sophic Hydrolith, among many others. An invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners alike.

Memories and Reflections of an Aryan Woman
Savitri Devi

"These pages reflect the experience of a long life dominated by a single state of mind - nostalgia for original Perfection - and devoted to a single struggle: the struggle against all forms of decadence. This struggle - in the spirit of eternal Tradition and therefore more than human - could, in our time, only be identified with that waged, on an immeasurably larger scale, by an immeasurably greater Man (closer to the Eternal) than I, his sincere, but insignificant disciple" (from the preface).
