The Chaldean Account of the Deluge: Now Available!




This short tract is an interesting primary source that led directly to the writing of Smith's longer "Chaldean account of Genesis." An archaeologist in the late 1800s, Smith was instrumental in some of the digs at Ninevah and elsewhere and was apparently self taught in cuneiform translation.

While this treatise, which translates what would become part of the Epic of Gilgamesh, was well received and widely read in its era, today only archaeology students tend to refer to it at all; which is sad since Smith could easily be given credit for helping to usher in the age of Victorian occultism- the Genesis-Gilgamesh overlay in his work is of such great importance in leading to what would become the Blavatsky-style spiritualism, scientific secularism, and (sometimes inaccurate) speculation of latter days on ancient man, that Smith deserves a spot in the spiritual hierarchy not even a step below Crowley or Paracelsus.

Archaic Rock Inscriptions: Now Available!




This book is from the same editor that crafted Ophiolatreia and Cultus Arborum among other works, (possibly Hargrave.) Made in the 1890s, it is a fairly eugenics-heavy and imperialistic look at the prevalent lingam-identified markings scattered across Brazil, the US, the British Isles, India, and elsewhere.

Its allusions to the Druids, lingam-yoni worship, burial rites, and archeological remains make this a spectacular guide to the same; honestly it's my favorite thus far of these late 19th century books.

Ophiolatreia: Now Available!




This is one of the most anticipated works I have released; perhaps the most well known of the late 1800s printings attributed to (but not proven to be from) Hargrave at the time; it is a fine compilation of lore related to serpent worship and serpentine imagery.

Relating tales and anecdotal observations from dozens of sources and fixating especially on serpentine images in Mesoamerican and Indian culture (Hinduism specifically) this work also contains a lengthy segment on the mound building civilizations of the North American continent related to snake shaped mounds and more; this is likely to be of extreme interest to those on the so-called fringe of archeology seeking to validate their own theories on the subject.

Intertwined directly with phallism, it also covers the Druid tradition, Egyptology, ancient Rome and Greece and cults there, and spans several thousand years of human history. An excellent work for the occultist and academic alike.
