ALEISTER CROWLEY: The Biography - Spiritual Revolutionary & Magus - by Tobias Churton


ALEISTER CROWLEY: The Biography - by Tobias Churton
Spiritual Revolutionary, Romantic Explorer, Occult Master and Spy !!

The extraordinary true story of one of the most vilified men of all time - known in his lifetime, and for ever after as the world's most wicked man - Aleister Crowley. This book incorporates 20 years of fresh research that includes previously unpublished documents, correspondence and rare photographs. A definitive account of the philosopher, explorer, mountaineer, prophet, artist, magus and one time spy, who both captivated and appalled millions in his lifetime and beyond the grave.

Although it has been 60 years since his death, Aleister Crowley is still shrouded in mystery and infamy that has sealed his reputation as a controversial figure in his time - and that reputation is still intact to this very day. Tobias Churton has set out to untangle a century of scandal and unfounded accusations that persuaded the world that Crowley was a traitor, black magician, drug addict, sexual deviant and anti-social outcast.

THE COMPLETE BOOKS OF CHARLES FORT: by Charles Fort
Book of the Damned/ Lo!/ Wild Talents/ New Lands:
Four Complete Books in One Large 1125 Page Paperback Volume - How can we account for all the inexplicable astronomical observations that have been made over the years: lights on the moon, extension of lunar rays, objects seen leaving planet Mars, flying saucers, aliens, abductions etc...?

These things were referred to by Charles Fort as being 'the damned' - by which he meant all the wide range of Unsolved MYSTERIES that are ignored by orthodox science, not fully understood or explained away improperly.

Charles Fort worked full time for twenty-seven years at the British Museum and the New York Public Library researching scientific journals, old periodicals, newspapers and manuscript accounts to gather material on phenomena from the borderlands between science, reality and fantasy. His researches appeared in these four books, now altogether in one huge volume. The Book of the Damned, New Lands, Lo! and Wild Talents - masterpieces of unexplained phenomena.

PERDURADO: The Life of Aleister Crowley - by Richard Kaczynski

PERDURADO: The Life of Aleister Crowley - by Richard Kaczynski

The Definitive Biography of the Founder of Modern Magick - This book is being called by some the best biography of 'The Beast' Aleister Crowley yet written - It traces Aleister Crowley's remarkable journey from his birth as the only son of a wealthy preacher to his death in a boarding house as one of the most notorious men of his time.

Crowley was a tireless magician, prophet, poet, scholar and adventurer - he inspired generations of social and spiritual truth-seekers and shaped popular culture throughout the years with his philosophy of "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole of The Law."

Based on twenty years of research which includes previously unpublished details and photographs, this revised and expanded edition of this biography about one of the most fascinating characters of the twentieth century is destined to become the definitive work on the subject. Kaczynsky takes an accessible and even-handed approach to this controversial figure.

"Richard Kaczynski's PERDURADO: The Life of Aleister Crowley is the one biography that is absolutely necessary for anyone who wishes to know more about one of the most creative, seminal and misunderstood figures of the last hundred years." --- David Tibet, Founder of 'Current 93' (the band)

VOLUPTUOUS PANIC: The Erotic World of Weimar Berlin

Heavily illustrated with never before seen images from the "Babylon on the Spree" time period - to put it simply, this book is incredible !!

Voluptuous Panic’s expanded edition includes the new illustrated chapter “Sex Magic and the Occult,” documenting German pagan cults and their bizarre erotic rituals.

EMPIRE OF DEATH: A Cultural History of Oussuaries and Charnel Houses


EMPIRE OF DEATH: A Cultural History of Oussuaries and Charnel Houses

By Paul Koudounaris

Visitors to the Paris catacombs were once greeted with a sign saying that they were entering the 'EMPIRE OF DEATH'. Beginning in the early modern period and continuing into the nineteenth century, elaborately decorated charnels, tombs and chapels were constructed with the focus being human bones. This book takes the reader on a tour of these macabre masterpieces including many arresting, specially taken photographs and commentary researched from a multitude of sources - It is an essential 'memento mori' for our modern age.

It is sometimes said that death is the last taboo, but it was not always so. For centuries, religious establishments constructed decorated ossuaries and charnel houses that stand as masterpieces of art created from human bones. These unique structures have been pushed into the footnotes of history; they were part of a dialogue with death that is now silent.

The sites in this specially photographed and brilliantly original study range from the Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Palermo, where the living would visit mummified or skeletal remains and lovingly dress them; to the Paris catacombs; to fantastic bone-encrusted creations in Austria, Cambodia, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Italy, Peru, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, and elsewhere.

Paul Koudounaris photographed more than seventy sites for this book. He analyzes the role of these remarkable memorials within the cultures that created them, as well as the mythology and folklore that developed around them, and skillfully traces a remarkable human endeavor.

MALDOROR & The Complete Works of The Comte de Lautreamont



MALDOROR & The Complete Works of The Comte de Lautreamont

Andre Breton wrote about the book 'Maldoror' saying quote: "...the expression of a revelation so complete it seems to exceed human potential."
Very little is known about the mysterious author The Comte de Lautreamont except his real name is Isidore Ducasse, he was born in Uruguay in 1846 and he died in Paris at the early age of 24 in 1870 - and there was no real cause of death indicated on his death certificate. Lautreamont's writings bewildered everyone at the time - but the Surrealists understood them completely and modeled their efforts after his lawless black humor and poetic logic, exemplified by this quote: "As beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and umbrella." An absolutely indescribable novel of wild abandon! "I set my genius to portray the pleasures of cruelty"-- Lautreamont

This book is a complete and annotated collection of Lautreamont's writings in English with an excellent translation by Alexis Lykiard.

DREAM MACHINE BOOK: Brion Gysin



DREAM MACHINE: by Brion Gysin - An Exhibition Guide

The ultimate hallucinogenic drug trip without the drugs !!

During his lifetime Brion Gysin (1916-1986) inspired an array of artists, writers, poets and musicians, most notably the Beat Generation. Since his death Gysin's own work has only increased in popularity, yet his radical approach to art defies categorization. Dream Machine is the first detailed study of Gysin's works in both art-historical and contemporary contexts. A devotee of invention, Gysin created paintings, drawings, photo-collages, installations, poetry and sound experiments. He produced the cut-up collage novel The Third Mind (1965) with William Burroughs, and with Ian Sommerville developed the Dreamachine (1961), a kinetic sculpture designed to induce visions by shining flickering light on the closed eyelids of the viewer - this produces wild colors and psychedelic patterns in the mind.... and if looked at for long periods of time, actual shapes, figures and other hallucinations can appear !!

This new book, features incisive texts, many photos and appreciations by contemporary artists, and captures the remarkable life of a daring, often overlooked artistic visionary genius.

ARKTOS: The Polar Myth in Science, Symbolism and Nazi Survival - By Joscelyn Godwin



ARKTOS: The Polar Myth in Science, Symbolism and Nazi Survival

By Joscelyn Godwin


ARKTOS, is a book written about the archetype of the Poles: Celestial and Terrestial, North and South. This engrossing book on cosmology, occultism, conspiracy theory, visionary insight, creative imagination and the lunatic fringe leads to startling revelations about the powerful secrets of the Poles and it's icebound realms.

Joscelyn Godwin investigates legends of the 'Golden Age' which some claim ended when a catastrophic prehistoric shift in the earth's axis occurred. The current axis tilt is examined as well as predictions of future axis/pole shifts. The fascination with these theories and ideas is shown to be part of a 'polar tradition' of hidden wisdom traced back to earliest times and resurfaces again and again over the decades.

Also studied are the many tales of an ancient race that lived in the Arctic regions and eventually spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere. This supposed 'Aryan Race' entered the mythology of Nazi Germany, and was also studied by the Theosophists and many ethnologists. The author examines the origins of modern day Neo-Nazi ideology, its 'polar' inspiration and its links to other arcana like, UFOs, the Hollow Earth Theory and the hidden worlds of Agartha and Shambhala. Arktos offers a scholarly, responsible treatment of these subjects and topics. Includes 27 B&W Illustrations.

Joscelyn Godwin is the author of many books on Esoterica.

SURREALISM & MODERNISM: From the Collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art




SURREALISM and MODERNISM: From the Collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art

Edited by Eric Zafran & Paul Paret

First ever survey of this museum's collection of excellent modern art - The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art's remarkable collection of modern art is due to a succession of adventurous directors and curators. This book showcases the museums collection and provides fascinating details about how it was acquired. Richly Illustrated with the artworks in color and photos of the artists and their studios in black and white.

Many of the works - the surrealist paintings in particular - were bought directly from the artists or from their first exhibitions. The famed Atheneum director Chick Austin mounted the first Surrealist exhibition in America in 1931 and bought works from the then barely known Salvador Dali - works by de Chirico, Ernst, Matta, Tanguy and Calder soon followed. Then in 1934 the Atheneum had the first great American retrospective of Picasso and the museum bought a small neo-classical piece to add to its collection.

Later, Marini, Georgia O'Keefe, de Kooning, Jackson Pollack and many others works were added to provide a broad overview of artistic trends from the last century. An excellent book.

This important survey of alchemical symbols and doctrines sets forth the mysterious worldview and teachings of the practitioners of the "royal art." One of the leading exponents of the Hermetic tradition, Julius Evola demonstrates the singularity of subject matter that lies behind the words of all adepts through-out the ages - showing how alchemy is nothing less than a universal secret science of human and natural transformation.

Draws from a host of sources in the Western Esoteric tradition - works on Theurgy, Magic, Gnosticism and many other medieval sources.

About the Author: Baron Julius Evola (1898 - 1974), born into an aristocratic Sicilian family, was a scholar, philosopher, writer, social thinker, a leader among 20th century Hermeticists, and a leading authority on Tantra and Occultism.

THE ROSICRUCIAN EMBLEMS OF DANIEL CRAMER - Hermetic / Alchemical Sybolism - Introduction by Adam McLean


THE ROSICRUCIAN EMBLEMS OF DANIEL CRAMER - Introduction by Adam McLean

This book is a significant and yet little-known work of emblematic philosophy published in 1617, only one year after the appearance of The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz which is believed to be one of the first original Rosicrucian manifestos.

The work consists of 40 emblematic plates, each bearing a title, together with a verse from the Bible and two lines in Latin. The plates revolve around the symbolism of the heart, which undergoes a variety of processes and experiences through a cycle of 40 stages.

Adam McLean, in his introduction and commentary, elucidates the history of the text and the nature of the symbolism. He convincingly argues that Cramer, a Protestant theologian, was consciously trying to produce a series of spiritual exercises for a Protestant, esoteric Christianity. McLean outlines a way to work with the emblems and their symbolism and suggests that "a work as profound and as simple as this can never die, but must always be a source of inspiration."

This book is a Rosicrucian item of great interest and will be valued by all students of emblematic philosophy and the Hermetic tradition. Heavily illustrated in B&W.

Adam McLean is a well known authority on Alchemical texts and symbolism. He is the editor and publisher of over 40 books on Alchemical and Hermetic ideas. Based in the UK, he has been writing and researching Alchemical and Hermetic literature for many years. Between 1978 and 1992, he edited the Hermetic Journal and began publishing the Magnum Opus Hermetic Sourceworks, including The Alchemical Mandala, The Magical Calendar, and Rosicrucian Emblems.
