The Mystical Interpretation of Christmas: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This short work is another by Heindel, a decidedly Rosicrucian, and sometimes quite odd, title, comprised of five short lectures which range from a basic refutation of outright atheistic skepticism, to an embracing of the concept of earth spirits (salamanders, fairies, etc) a la Hermetic lore.

It is quite good; the symbolism of Christmas is covered in brief but comprehensive detail- the holiday of course goes beyond just its base pagan roots, as well as well beyond its Christianized form, either then in the early 20th century, or now in the early 21st.

Mysteries of the Great Operas: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This is one of the best works I have edited thus far; and since I am rapidly approaching 280 edited works in total, that's not insubstantial.

Max Heindel, a Rosicrucian when he wrote this work, needs little introduction since his name is up in the ranks of Crowley or Steiner in terms of notoriety; suffice to say this little volume provides interesting- it not always invariably accurate- analysis of the symbolic and spiritual meaning of five significant operas according to a generally Rosicrucian and always occult frame of mind.

These operas are all explicitly and objectively spiritual anyways, and Heindel has managed to show their symbolic overlap with his own metaphor-rich spiritual system.

Gleanings of a Mystic: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This book is a fairly comprehensive guide to the philosophical views of Heindel, of Rosicrucian renown. More a compiling of short essays than a single work, it was collected together posthumously, with subject material ranging from reincarnation and mortality, to initiation and enlightenment, as well as plenty of asides into the history of mankind and existence, Atlantis, and various post-Blavatsky lore involving the human race and its various cultural separations over time.

It's fairly easy to understand, not at all as dense as some contemporary works of the same basic subject material, and is therefore highly recommended for those intrigued by the Rosicrucians (or mysticism in general) but not yet fully versed in the same. It should be noted that the initial edition is far longer; I redacted about twenty pages of ads and blurbs about other works by the initial publisher as well as a (meaningless) index.
