Beginnings, Glimpses of Vanished Civilizations: Now Available!



This excellent work is a compilation of lore spanning many centuries and ranging from ancient Greek, to Roman, to Egyptian, to Vedic lore, all of which revolves around the concept of the origins of mankind. It touches on both science and history, with heavy allusions to Atlantis, and sometimes quoting Ignatius Donnelly.

Fairies: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little work is a dense collection of folklore about fairies (although it does include some content referring to elves, brownies, and similar beings)- part of it relates to poetry, some to prose both ancient and then-modern. It is a quasi-romanticist effort, openly encouraging the promulgation of such folk material as an alternative to the cold, secular boredom of industrial living. It also seems to insinuate that such beings are real, albeit otherworldly.

Cerberus, the Dog of Hades, Now Available!


CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little work is an anthropological title which traces several different hellish hounds from multiple cultures and describes them, partly based on linguistics. Cerberus is one of a number of such canines- there are also Odins' wolves, the dogs of Yama, and inclusions from Zoroastrian and even Mesoamerican lore.

Hebrew Idolatry and Superstition: Now Available!


CLICK TO PURCHASE

This present book is a work mainly of religious history, seeking to categorize the various "idolatrous" practices of the ancient Hebrews, claiming most of them can be established to have had a prior origin, and that they therefore did not originate with Judaism. Some of the claims here are anthropologically outdated but many have been continuously confirmed (sacred groves and witchcraft definitely predate Judaism and probably came from interactions with other regional tribes, for example.) The number of individual stories involving witchery, totems, etc, are profuse, and the work is a great springboard for further study.

Bantu Folk Lore: Now Available!


CLICK TO PURCHASE

This ethnographic work is a significant compilation of South African herbal and ritual lore, with profuse linguistic inclusions, combining the scientific names of species, and descriptions of types of doctors and practices, with the native speech involved. Less preachy than some contemporary studies, it actually compares the materia medica of the Bantu people with that of the European people.

An Essay on Demonology, Ghosts, and Apparitions: Now Available!


CLICK TO PURCHASE

This nice literary edition predominantly describes medical quackery, the persecutions of Salem (and attempts at the same from latter time periods well into the 18th century!) and some interesting supernatural tales involving those who believed themselves demonically troubled or bewitched. I decided to edit this particular work partly as a cautionary tale for occultists not to be too incredulous, and as an amusing look at times of persecution and charlatan medicine which roughly equate to the 2020s. The more things change the more they remain the same!
