Ayurveda; The Hindu System of Medical Science: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This text explores Ayurveda; its basic categorical systems (types of disease, types of substances for healing, different sub-schools of medicine, etc) and a bit about its history. It is interesting to note that Ayurveda was among the few early systems with a fully categorical conceptualization, and allowed dissection, allowing for a greater understanding of anatomy. It contains a brief materia medica of herbal species as well as some recipes for compounds of note.

Atheism in Pagan Antiquity: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This nice little read is an academic work that deals with the concept of atheism (a variable one) among the philosophers and societies of ancient Greece, including after its subjugation by Rome. Various concepts such as irreligion and heresy were all lumped in under the concept, along with worship which was merely civically improper. Philosophers often levied such charges against one another, usually in a defamatory manner. It traces the conceptualization up into early Christianity and explores the Henotheistic concept of Judaism.

The East in the Light of the West: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

Rudolf Steiner needs relatively little introduction; a profuse orator, whose students translated and transcribed enormous numbers of lectures into booklets and books, the man is mostly known as a schismatic whose ideology deviated from the post-Blavatsky theosophical movement, leading to his founding of Anthroposophy.

This collection of lectures is mainly comprised of two basic parts; first, an exposition on the development of mankind in the ethnic sense (and attendant religious sense- that is, religions as discreet systems) and second the adjoining rise of various spiritual masters, taken more or less verbatim from Blavatsky, namely, Zarathustra, Gautama Buddha, and Jesus Christ. The work is a fascinating look at one of the self-proclaimed progressive systems of the early 20th century.

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

CLICK TO PURCHASE

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.

The Popular Superstitions and Festive Amusements of the Highlanders of Scotland: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This text is a fine compilation of folklore from Scotland- most of which involves cryptids and ghosts. A few other tales are compiled here, as well as rituals and superstitions related to marriage, courting, employment, and other such topics. It roughly traces the evolution of ghost stories from the early period with its technically tangible spirits, to the more modern period where ghouls and poltergeists became more "ghost-like" and could not be hacked apart with a claymore.

The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum: Now Available!

CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE

This intermediate-length work is predominantly material taken from Eliphas Levi (translated later into English by W Wynn Westcott) with some notes by the latter, and re-illustrated by Rita Metzner, who has done about a half dozen other works for me in that capacity. About two thirds of the work interprets the major Tarot trumps and their mystical meaning, loosely fusing Kabbalah, Rosicrucian lore, alchemy, and Hermeticism together. There is also a section containing rituals and prayers, of the same basic mettle. The editor alludes to Levi's epilogue in the work and presumes that Levi had basically debased the rest of the text, although it could be interpreted as a way to avoid censorship- a sort of religious disclaimer.

It is quite good, but it requires a developed knowledge of the occult to really make sense of.
