The Inner Life and the Tao-Teh-King: Now Available!



This particular work is among the most anthropologically fascinating which I have personally edited. Full length and deeply analytical, it traces basically every microcosmic aspect of Taosim- from its potentially mythological founder, through the linguistics of its content, and the spiritual systems it intones- in depth. It should be noted that several near-complete copies of Laotze's work were not known when this work was written and that interpretations of the early Chinese characters used vary widely. Bjerregaard has openly stated he is not a Sinologist but attempted to work through translations as needed anyways, and discusses the basic premise of Tao in detail.

Religions of Ancient China: Now Available!



While it is quite short, this booklet manages to condense thousands of years of Chinese religious history into a very few pages- noting, of course, that its original format doubled the page length, as such literature tended to do in its era.

It traces the progression (if we may term it that) from ancestor worship and spiritism through Confucius, Taoism, materialistic movements, and the then-modern era. It's well written, although we may place it more with rigorous history than with stringently occult titles, as it contains a multitude of dates and spiritual developments.
