The Burden of Isis: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This work is a fairly important collection of ancient Egyptian invocations, which partly allude to the story of Orisis being slain by Seth, then revived by his sister-wife Isis. It contains a very interesting little section on the importance of the "sistrum-bearer" in these proceedings, using this instrument to call awareness to the deity rather than summon it; fitting in roughly with one of my own perpetual interests, in sonic magic.

The Religion of Ancient Egypt: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This is yet another of the works from the creation series of the early 20th century. It is as rigorous and dense as the prior edition on Assyria and Babylon; much of the content is a very detailed list of major deities, their basic histories, and a bit of their evolution over time (Egyptian religion is far from homogeneous- it continued to develop longer than any other system because of the longevity of Egypt as a various empire and regional power.)

Some detail on sacred writings and home practice involved with daily Egyptian life is also given.

Aryan Sun Myths: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This work is one of the best academic treatments of religious history that I have encountered. It spans a dozen cultures and many centuries in its pages, going from Babylon, Egypt, and ancient India, up through Greece, Rome, and into the then-modern period of the late 19th century.

Most of the lore here is in the form of historical quotation from Tacitus, Pliny, Caesar, and others, or else notations regarding the similarity between epic poems and literal mythology and the then-accepted trappings and symbols of Christendom. Indeed, the imagery of twelve followers (disciples), halos, resurrection, virgin birth, and many more such tropes, are originally pagan, and any actual historical Jesus is in all likelihood lost to history, because the subsequent writings on this figure were an amalgamation of a half dozen solar cults.

Pagan Ideas of Immortality: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This work is one of the most dense academic materials I have edited. Written in the early 20th century, it is a historical look at some of the philosophical schools of antiquity and their conception of the afterlife, purgatory, reincarnation, and the nature of the human spirit.

Its details regarding Mithra do not extend to comparisons to Jesus, as was typical in this era. A century ago, such claims would have been taboo. It dwells instead on multiple stories from antiquity (going back before Rome to previous religious schools which later influenced Rome as well) especially with regards to the form of tartarus and so forth. The evolution of the antiquated conception of the immortal soul is revealed here in great detail.
