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!

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.
