Islamic Teachings at the Heart of Alchemy

By Baron Rudolf von Sabottendorff

Translated by Stephen E. Flowers, Ph.D.

Originally published in Germany in 1924 - this strange book reveals the secret spiritual exercises and rituals of the Turkish Freemasonry Order of Bektashi Sufis - also known as Oriental Freemasonry this order has preserved the mysterious and ancient doctrines forgotten by more modern and more recent Freemasonry Orders and Lodges.

This series of knowledge, hand shakes, signs, symbols, formulas, rituals and gestures are conducted according to precise instructions which will then transform the self and soul into a noble higher godlike state: The Magnum Opus of the Medieval Alchemists.

The author, Baron Rudolf von Sabottendorff was an Alchemist and Freemason - he moved to Turkey in 1900 and was then also introduced to Rosicrucianism - in 1910 he founded the Lodge of the Bektashi Order of Oriental Freemasonry located in Constantinople - then he returned to Germany and founded the Thule Society - after the Thule Society was taken over by the Nazi Party & Hitler, Sabottendorff left the group and fled back to Turkey.

LORDS OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH: From the Cult of Set to the Church of Satan - by Stephen E. Flowers


LORDS OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH: From the Cult of Set to the Church of Satan

By Stephen E. Flowers, Ph. D.

'Terminus Viae'

The Left-Hand Path is the way of the HERO....
The path of those who, having understood their own individual divinities, would dare to breach the gates of eternity and eat of the tree of life eternal - to stand against the inertia and ignorance of the whole universe, to strive against that which would thwart all intelligence and life and to prevail against it - THIS is the aim of the Sinister Path.....

From black magic and Satanism to Gnostic sects and Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way, the left-hand path has been linked to many practices, cults, and individuals across the ages. Stephen Flowers, Ph.D., examines the methods, teachings, and historical role of the left-hand path, from its origins in Indian tantric philosophy to its underlying influence in current world affairs, and reveals which philosophers, magicians, and occult figures throughout history can truly be called “Lords of the Left-Hand Path.”

Flowers explains that while the right-hand path seeks union with and thus dependence on God, the left-hand path seeks a “higher law” based on knowledge and power. It is the way of self-empowerment and true freedom. Beginning with ancient Hindu and Buddhist sects and moving Westward, he examines many alleged left-hand path groups, including the Cult of Set, the Yezidi Devil Worshippers, the Assassins, the Neoplatonists, the Hell-Fire Club, the Bolsheviks, the Occult Nazis, and several heretical Sufi, Zoroastrian, Christian, and Muslim sects. Following a carefully crafted definition of a true adherent of the left-hand path based on two main principles--self-deification and challenge to the conventions of “good” and “evil".

The author analyzes many famous and infamous personalities, including H. P. Blavatsky, Faust, the Marquis de Sade, Austin Osman Spare, Aleister Crowley, Gerald Gardner, Anton LaVey, and Michael Aquino, and reveals which occult masters were Lords of the Left-Hand Path. Flowers shows that the left-hand path is not inherently evil but part of our heritage and our deep-seated desire to be free, independent, and in control of our destinies.

MEAT IS MURDER! An Illustrated Guide to Cannibal Culture - By Mikita Brottman


MEAT IS MURDER! An Illustrated Guide to Cannibalism - By Mikita Brottman

Violent death, murder, mutilation, eating, defecation, ritualism and bodily extremes - cannibalism combines all or many of these themes to represent one of the most symbolically charged narratives in the human psyche's repertoire.

As a grotesque figure of power - the cannibal has played a formidable role in all cultures throughout history from earliest times - oral, written, films etc. - It embodies the ultimate extent of transgressive behavior that a human being can be driven to.

MEAT IS MURDER ! is a unique and explicit exploration into cannibalism, from classical myths and early primitive natives to contemporary films, fiction and real-life modern age cannibals like Albert Fish, Ed Gein, Jeffery Dahmer and Andrei Chikatilo - and features an in-depth study of cannibalism in the cinema from mondo and exploitation films to horror and art house movies. Includes Film Index.
