The Destruction of Freemasonry
Erich Ludendorff
General Erich Ludendorff's major work The Destruction of Freemasonry exposes the true nature of this subversive cult with rare evidence from primary sources. First published in 1927, it was significantly reworked for the 1930 edition that remained in circulation with minor changes until at least 1938. The English translation presented here is technically accurate, but contained several false statements about both Ludendorff and Hitler that were inserted by the publisher. These statements have been removed from the present edition.

A System of Caucasian Yoga
Count Stefan Walewski
In the early fifties of the last century, a strange book ennoscriptd A System of Caucasian Yoga appeared in the United States. The book was written by Count Stefan Colonna Walewski, a Polish diplomat who claimed to have received its contents from a mysterious neo-Zoroastrian brotherhood located in the remote Caucasus.
Soon after the manunoscript was published in 1955, the members of an esoteric association – those who met them recalled their name as “Mazdaznan” – considering the disclosure of its secret practices dangerous, had the book withdrawn from the market by court order. Of the original printing only three hundred copies survived.

The Book of Life
Marsilio Ficino
Marsilio Ficino, born in Florence in 1433, was one of the greatest exemplars of the Renaissance as a rebirth of classical learning. Ficino was the leader of the Florentine Platonic Academy and translator of many neo-Platonic and Hermetic works, including at the urging of Cosimo de Medici, the Corpus Hermeticum.
The Book of Life is not a translation, but an original work by Ficino written as an introductory guide to the practical application of esoteric knowledge. The work is mainly focused not on the soul or body, but on the spirit, with the first part discussing physical health, the second prolonging life, and the third celestial phenomena.

Germany's Third Empire
Arthur Moeller van den Bruck
In 1923, when Germany was in the throes of revolution, Moeller van den Bruck envisioned a Germany that was radical, traditional and nationalistic. Angered by the harsh conditions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, and frustrated by the reforms of the Weimar Republic, he examined all of the major political doctrines of his day and found them wanting. Instead, he called for a return to empire - an empire of all German-speaking peoples, with a social hierarchy based upon communal values and German traditions.

Rosicrucianism
Various authors
Early in the early 17th century, a series of manifestos proclaiming the existence of a mysterious esoteric brotherhood circulated among the intellectual elite of northern Europe. In the veiled language of alchemical symbolism, these manifestos outlined a process of initiation by which entrance to the invisible Brotherhood of the Rose Cross might be gained. As with earlier alchemical literature, the manifestos were eventually read by outsiders who took their allegorical content literally, believing the Rosicrucians to be a group of secretive occultists. It should be obvious that no such groups or individuals have any connection whatsoever to the original sources presented in this volume.

Blood and Soil
Anna Bramwell
One of the rare unbiased accounts of National Socialist political history, this book follows the career of Richard Walther Darré as minister of agriculture for the NSDAP. Darré was an influential figure who developed the titular ideology of "Blood and Soil" - a revolutionary system of natural conservation that placed specific emphasis on the rural peasantry as custodians of nature and the foundation of racial purity.

Memoirs from Beyond the Grave
François-René de Chateaubriand
François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand, was a writer, adventurer, and statesman during the period of the French Revolution. His literary work represents the last intellectual flourishing of a decadent nobility, and justifies his place as a founder of the Romantic school of literature. Chateaubriand’s posthumous Memoirs are a poignant and reflective depiction of his tumultuous life amidst the chaos of the Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, to the eve of the Second Republic and the decline of the French monarchy.

Mario Palmieri
"In Italy, as well as abroad, much has been written about Fascism and its origin… And yet, notwithstanding all which has been written, very few, especially abroad, have understood its essence; and the true spiritual forces which generated it have not always received the right interpretation.
This work of Mr. Palmieri on 'The Philosophy of Fascism' fills a greatly felt deficiency of such bibliography with its exposition of the spiritual aspects of Fascism, and is therefore highly appreciated in times like the present, when the desire to know Fascism in its true essence is becoming so thoroughly widespread" (from the preface).

Prussian Socialism and Other Essays
Oswald Spengler
In the foreword to this series of essays and lectures written mainly during the interwar era, Spengler describes that period as "the years when, after the low point of disgrace, misfortune and dishonourable behaviour, national contemplation began and developed into a movement that has finally become very powerful, not only internally but also abroad."
Collected in this volume are the essays "Prussianism and Socialism" and "Building of the New German Reich," as well as other important works by Spengler associated with the so-called Conservative Revolution, including "Political Duties of the German Youth" and "The German National Character."

Universal Religion
Charles Dupuis
Charles François Dupuis (1742 – 1809) was a renowned polymath, academic, and legislator of the First Republic. Together with his compatriot Volney, Dupuis was responsible for developing the "Christ myth" theory, which argued that Christianity was a syncretic combination of earlier polytheistic religions.
The present work is a foundational text of comparative mythology that outlines Dupuis' theory on the common source of all religions. With ample evidence to support the extraordinary claims of his theory, Dupuis clearly demonstrates the astronomical basis of early myth and its subsequent influence on Christianity.
This is a facsimile of the 1872 edition printed in New Orleans.

Adulruna
Johannes Bureus
The Swedish polymath Johannes Bureus (1568–1652), Royal Librarian and close friend of King Gustavus Adolphus, is primarily known as an exponent of “Gothicism,” the idea that the ancient Goths of Scandinavia were the first rulers of Europe, and Sweden the true origin of Western culture. But he was also an early student of runology, as well as a practicing alchemist. Influenced by the Neoplatonic revival of the Renaissance, Bureus viewed alchemy as part of a Prisca Theologia stemming from the ancient Goths, arguing that the Scandinavian runes constituted a “Gothic Cabala” in which the secrets of all sciences - including alchemy - had been hidden for posterity.

The Archaeometer
Saint-Yves d'Alveydre
The Archaeometer presents a reconstructive analysis of the metaphysical system used by all esoteric Traditions to encode their sacred knowledge through mathematical and geometrical principles into religious art, music, and literature. Its scientific reconstruction of this primordial Aryan cabala holds a key to the system of universal order behind all natural laws.
In the words of the author: “The Archaeometer is the instrument used by the Ancients for the formation of the esoteric myths of all religions. It is the canon of ancient Art in its various architectural, musical, poetic, and theogonic manifestations. It is the Heaven that speaks: every star, every constellation becomes a letter or a phrase, or a divine name lighting the ancient traditions of all peoples with a new day.”
