Initiation and Spiritual Realization
René Guénon

In accordance with Guénon's last wishes, this volume was the first thematic collection of his writings published after his death. The first part sees Guénon considering the mental and psychological obstacles that may block comprehension of the initiatic point of view and the search for initiation. The second part clarifies and develops several important points regarding the nature of initiation and the conditions for its pursuit. The last, and in many respects the most important part is a metaphysical exposition of the possibility for total spiritual realization starting from our corporeal state.

Atlantis - The Mystery Unravelled
Jürgen Spanuth

Building on the research of Herman Wirth and the Ahnenerbe Society, Jürgen Spanuth developed his thesis of a prehistoric catastrophe in the North Sea leading to the submergence of an island nation, which he interpreted as the mythical Atlantis. From a comprehensive study of historical and archeological evidence, Spanuth proceeded to identify the survivors of this disaster as the historical "Sea Peoples" who invaded Europe during the Bronze Age collapse. This is a facsimile edition.

The Canon
William Stirling Maxwell

In this exhaustive study of the ancient Greek cabala, William Stirling Maxwell argues that the proportions of ancient religious architecture were based on calculations that reveal an exact correspondence with those of the sun, moon, and planets. The system of metaphysical science from which these canonical proportions derive was encoded in occult symbols, images and language whose last clear expression is found in the Greek cabala.

The Multiple States of Being
René Guénon

In this work, Guénon offers a brilliant explication of the metaphysical order and its manifestations, of the divine hierarchies and what has been called the Great Chain of Being, and in so doing demonstrates how intellective or intrinsic knowledge is a true Way of Liberation. Here, Guénon the metaphysical social critic, comparative religionist, researcher of esotericism, and herald of spiritual renewal, disappears. Only reality remains.

Between the Worlds
Various authors

The rich corpus of literary otherworld journeys that has survived from the Scandinavian Middle Ages is in many respects tied to a space 'Between the Worlds'. Every otherworld journey engages with a space 'between the worlds' in the sense that it plays itself out between this world and a world beyond, an otherworld. This volume presents a rich panorama of a broad range of Scandinavian, Celtic, and Slavic perspectives on the topic of the 'otherworld journey', which contextualises the motif of the otherworld journey in Old Norse literature with an unprecedented breadth.

Magika Hiera
Various authors

This collection challenges the tendency among scholars of ancient Greece to see magical and religious ritual as mutually exclusive and to ignore "magical" practices in Greek religion. The contributors survey specific bodies of archaeological, epigraphical, and papyrological evidence for magical practices in the Greek world, and, in each case, discuss how the traditional dichotomy between magic and religion works to conceptualize the objective features of the evidence examined.

Esoteric Teachings of the Tibetan Tantra
C. A. Muses

This volume contains three books of secret Vajrayana Buddhist lore translated and edited by the scholar of esotericism Charles Muses in cooperation with exiled Tibetan monks. Among the esoteric initiation rituals are found many strange passages, including a mysterious prophecy that tells of a future when Tibet will be overrun by demons, while the Naropa texts describe practices such as the Yoga of Entering Another's Body, which can be used to reanimate a corpse. Also discussed at some length is a method of lucid dreaming or "astral projection" known as The Practice of the Illusory Body.

Man and his Becoming According to the Vedanta
René Guénon

Man and his Becoming is Guénon's central exposition of traditional metaphysics, companion to his other two great works in this genre: The Symbolism of the Cross and The Multiple States of Being. Guénon held that Hinduism embraces the most ancient, profound, and comprehensive expression of traditional metaphysics we possess, which can in some ways function as a key to every other traditional form, and this work has been called the first reliable exposition of Hindu metaphysics in any Western language.

Blood Passover
Ariel Toaff

For the last several centuries, there have been rumors of various Jewish groups or individuals engaged in human sacrifices or ritual murder for religious purposes. This book analyzes the cultural and historical background to a notorious 1475 murder trial in Italy where a group of Jews were accused of murdering a young boy, later known as Simon of Trent, and using his blood for Passover rites. The reader is presented this infamous case in a scholarly manner that aims to draw out facts and leave speculation behind, as the use of a medieval case study helps to illuminate much needed scholarly scrutiny on a topic that has for too long been obfuscated or dismissed out of hand without serious inquiry.

Lanz von Liebenfels and the New Templar Order
Rudolf J. Mund

This work presents the true history of the New Templar Order and its founder, Lanz von Liebenfels. The real Dr. Lanz, whose brilliant legacy was tainted by the lying press, is revealed through a comparison of manipulated and actual statements, a refutation of malicious allegations, and an outline of his teachings as a deeply religious man who not only spoke of positive Christianity but also proved its existence.

Like Herman Wirth, Lanz was able to prove from historical research that Nordic man was the bearer of this religion long before the Aryan period. His discovery that all religions were in origin racial cults with the purpose of eugenic breeding, and could be traced back to a single ancestor religion - the original Christianity - gave new meaning to the concept of perennialism.

The Light of Egypt
Thomas Burgoyne

Thomas H. Burgoyne, an astrologer and founder of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, was born April 14, 1855, and grew up in his native Scotland. Spontaneously psychic, he claimed that as a child he came into contact with the Brotherhood of Light, a group of advanced discarnate beings who attempt to guide the destiny of mankind. At a later date he met a M. Theon, who purported to be an earthly representative of the brotherhood and taught Burgoyne about their esoteric doctrine. An associate of Burgoyne, also in contact with the Brotherhood of Light, suggested that he write a set of lessons to introduce their teachings to the public. This was published in 1889 as The Light of Egypt.

Freemasonry and Judaism
Léon de Poncins

Vicomte Léon de Poncins was the author of a wide range of celebrated books that expose the subversive influences working in secret to undermine European civilization. De Poncins' meticulously documented book Freemasonry and Judaism covers a centuries-long history in which he exposes with irrefutable clarity the hidden forces responsible for destroying the nations of Europe. The endless revolutions of democracy and communism over the last centuries are uncovered as a Judeo-Masonic plot to overthrow the ancient regimes by force and install those "enlightened" systems in their place as the new world order. With extensive proof, de Poncins demonstrates the method by which that goal has come dangerously close to being achieved.
