Introduction to the Hermetic Sciences
Giuliano Kremmerz
Giuliano M. Kremmerz (born Ciro Formisano) was an Italian alchemist, hermeticist, philosopher, and prominent member of the Ur Group, alongside Julius Evola. With his Introduction to the Hermetic Sciences, Kremmerz sought to redefine magical initiation as well as other key components of the occult sciences. His aim was to bring the path of esoteric initiation back into alignment with the procedures and symbolism that defined the spiritual practices of the original Hermetic tradition.
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.
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.
The True History of the American Revolution
Sydney Fisher
In this authoritative work, historian Sydney Fisher presents a nuanced account of the American revolution that focuses on the reasoning and motivations for both sides of the conflict. Fisher strives for objectivity in his treatment of the events and personalities involved, managing to tell both sides of the story where most authors favor only one. In Fisher's words: "The purpose of this history of the Revolution is to use the original authorities rather more frankly than has been the practice with our historians. They appear to have thought it advisable to omit from their narratives a great deal which, to me, seems essential to a true picture" (from the preface).
Dreams in Old Norse Literature
Georgia Kelchner
Dreams in Old Norse Literature is the outcome of intensive research conducted by Georgia Kelchner over the course of seven years at Cambridge. Kelchner’s landmark work examines the role of dreams in the Icelandic Sagas and other Old Norse literature, as well as various sources of ancient Scandinavian folklore. Of particular note is how the concept of dreams evolved with the advent of Christianity, with Kelchner noting parallels and changes in later post-conversion folklore to further inform an understanding of the importance of dreams to the pre-conversion Norse.
Reforging America
Lothrop Stoddard
A brief history the nation from a racial perspective, Reforging America describes its founding by European settlers and its changing ethnic makeup due to immigration. Stoddard illustrates how the preservation of our nationhood must be achieved through immigration restriction, with peaceful race relations maintained through self-segregation, in order to defeat the communist agenda of racial integration and mass immigration. Due to the optimism of the period in which he wrote, Stoddard underestimated danger of communist subversion, and only now, after years of decline resulting from their "long march," are his predictions finally realized. As we enter a new period of optimism founded on national solidarity and the destruction of American communism, this book seems almost prophetic in its accuracy.
The Nature of Man
Jacques de Mahieu
What is man? Almost half a century ago, an acute French thinker, who had emigrated to Argentina due to the vicissitudes of the catastrophe that was the Second World War in Europe, attempted to answer the question posed. The result is this book. Not everyone will agree with its conclusions - on the one hand, because it forces us to revise the paradigms that make up today's "politically correct" thinking, and on the other, because it simply forces us to think and reflect - but anyone truly seeking to understand human nature will find it invaluable.
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.
The Political Right
Julius Evola
An exhaustive collection of Evola's writing on the subject of politics, The Political Right brings together his major works Fascism Viewed From the Right, Notes on the Third Reich, and A Traditionalist Confronts Fascism, including selected articles on Italian Fascism and the Right in other countries from the period of 1930 to 1942, as well as several articles on National Socialism written from 1933 to 1971.
The Mask and Face of Contemporary Spiritualism
Julius Evola
Mask and Face is Evola's critique of the spiritual schools, cults, philosophies, and mystical teachers of the 20th century. In it, he compares such newer spiritual “systems” to the traditional spiritual path of the ancients and exposes the misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and occult dangers lurking in their practices. This translation is based on the updated 2008 version of the Italian original.
The Kingdom of Agarttha
Saint-Yves d'Alveydre
The hidden realm of Agarttha was first revealed to the Western world in 1886 by the French esoteric philosopher Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre in his book "Mission de l'Europe en Asie," translated here as The Kingdom of Agarttha. Saint-Yves's book revealed that deep beneath the Himalayas are found enormous underground cities ruled by a sovereign pontiff known as the Brahâtma. Throughout history, the "unknown superiors" cited by various secret societies and esoteric groups were believed to be emissaries from this realm who had moved underground at the onset of the Kali-Yuga.
The Esotericism of the Popol Vuh
Raphael Girard
In this authoritative study, Professor Girard emphasizes the spiritual nature of Mayan tradition and their understanding of its importance in the journey to achieve human perfection. His book "demonstrates beyond question that at the heart of Maya religion and custom there is a sophisticated spiritual philosophy with clear correspondences not only to ancient Mexican as well as Andean cosmogony and creation mythology, but also to the mythoi and cultures of other parts of the world" (from the preface).
