The German Mythological Landscape
Guido von List
Between 1877 and 1887, Guido von List published various journalistic works about his earlier travels and mystical reflections on Loci (local spirits), many of which appear in his famous Deutsch-Mythologische Landschaftsbilder of 1891, translated in this first English edition as The German Mythological Landscape.
This book takes us on a journey into a bygone era when the European landscape was still populated by mythical gods and demons. Here, von List examines the folklore of natural landmarks to discover its esoteric origin, revealing the intimate connection of traditional European spirituality to its native soil.
With the insight of a true mystic, von List frames the indigenous character of ancient European polytheism in a new light, showing that its view of nature as the reflection of a higher spiritual world is borne out in the supernatural character of ancient folklore associated with physical features of the land itself.
Bringing together such varied topics as the secret Vehm society, werewolf and dragon legends, the folklore of mermaids, runic divination, and the esoteric meaning of fairy tales, von List paints a vivid and often humorous picture of his travels through the myth-haunted European countryside.
Liber Hermetis
Hermes Trismegistus
Liber Hermetis Trismegisti, commonly known as the Book of Hermes, is a foundational work of Hellenistic astrology that possesses a distinctly Egyptian character. The system of inherited knowledge it describes is older and more complex than anything found in other sources of Hellenistic astrology, and its treatment of the ancient Egyptian "decans" is by far the earliest in any astrological literature. This rare English translation is based on the only surviving Latin copies of a lost Greek original.
Rune Magic
Karl Spiesberger
Rune Magic is the authoritative work on runic esotericism by renowned mystic and scholar Karl Spiesberger. This book presents an encyclopedic overview of works by the great rune masters Guido von List, Siegfried Kummer, Rudolf Gorsleben and others, with additional material on the theory and practice of rune magic by Spiesberger himself. Included in this exhaustive study are descriptions of ritual practice, esoteric relationships, divination techniques, runic yoga, and much more. An invaluable guide to practical rune magic.
Spiesberger is a controversial figure in the history of runic esotericism as a result of his efforts to dissociate the runes from their original Aryan source, but his contribution to the field is nevertheless valuable. In effort to separate Spiesberger's ideological bias from the work itself, his irrelevant preliminary remarks to this book have been removed. Our hope is that the remaining presentation of work by his predecessors will be seen from a more objective and racially conscious viewpoint, as originally intended.
The Legacy of Our Ancestors
Unknown
This book, first published in 1941, takes us far and deep back into the consciousness of our Nordic ancestors. What did they organize their lives around? What did they believe in? What message have they left us? The solemn tone of this book should not deceive the reader - it is based on scientific knowledge about the roots of a tradition that is still very much alive, although few people know how to explain its centuries-old significance. So let us learn to recognize ourselves - in the heritage of our ancestors.
The History of Anti-Semitism
Hervé Ryssen
For the vast majority of non-Jews, the history of the Jewish people reads like an endless succession of undeserved tragedies. To explain this phenomenon, Jewish intellectuals have concocted various elaborate theories, inevitably concluding that the history of the Jews is an extraordinary mystery, or the fabulous destiny of a chosen people. But as this highly informative work by the French scholar Hervé Ryssen shows, the reality is in fact much simpler.
The Specious Origins of Liberalism
Anthony Ludovici
Anthony Ludovici was a British philosopher and social critic known for his anti-egalitarian views, of which this book is a clear expression. First published as a series of articles in The South African Observer, it provides a fascinating historical-philosophical critique of the liberal ideology. In the author's words: "This book is therefore an attempt in this eleventh hour of expiring sanity to expose the false assumptions and truculent vacuity of these very tenets and principles, and to outline a constructive means of combating them."
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.
Old Norse Folklore
Stephen Mitchell
Old Norse Folklore is a collection of essays by Stephen Mitchell, professor of Folklore and Mythology at Harvard. The essays are divided into three sections encompassing the performances, myths, and traditions related to Norse folklore, with a focus on their relationship to cultural memory. An immensely readable selection of material, the wide variety of subjects are presented in an approachable manner that nevertheless maintains academic rigor.
Orion
Bal Gangadhar Tilak
Best known for his controversial book on Aryan prehistory The Arctic Home in the Vedas, nationalist scholar Bal Gangadhar Tilak had previously outlined the basic ideas of that work in Orion, or Researches into the Antiquity of the Vedas. Here, Tilak argues that the Vedas are much older than previously believed, citing astronomical references to the constellation Orion that would place their composition at the earliest stages of recorded history. This is a facsimile edition.
Traditional Studies I
René Guénon
The holy grail, Agarttha and Atlantis, the Kali Yuga, and the Knights Templar are just some of the many fascinating topics covered in this selection of works by Guénon that includes Spiritual Authority and Temporal Power, Insights into Christian Esoterism, and Traditional Forms and Cosmic Cycles. This is the first volume of a forthcoming series.
