'Two throughout Eight' is a different kind of novel, strategically
adjutant from the first book entitled 'One throughout Eight.' An
enlightening metaphysical treatise, Kevin Jon Klause shows us the
struggle of life depicted with a mixture of deities and powerful
people. The most brilliant people are the victors. Only they will
enjoy the best life has to offer.
"Come to us you who thirst for the nature of reality. Come you who
yearn for yourself. Come brothers of the breach and broken sisters.
Come you who cannot find rest, and who can have no peace." -The
Book of Specularis. This is the second book in a trilogy on the
Sethian Gnostic tradition of today, and it contains a selection of
texts from the Charaxio, the holy book of the organization
Sodalitas Sanctum Seth. This collection of modern Sethian writings
intends to give new perspectives to those who have stumbled upon an
encounter with Metanoia, Our Lady of Unexpected Insight and
Perplexity, and thus perceived the shape of the Mystery. Consider
this entire book as a projective test. As in the field of
psychology, such a test has no meaning in itself: It is you; with
your background, opinions, cultural frame of mind and
self-understanding that determine what you see, or are shown. As in
the previous volume, The Key, it is important to remember that as
you read this book, the book is also reading you.
The end of the age is upon us. Soon the heavens will be shaken, and
the battlefield of an ancient war will make its way to the earth.
The fabric of time and space trembles full of fractures under the
strain of warring battalions, yet we of earth sit in stillness, in
a quiet sector of our universe, primarily unaware of the forces
about to embark upon us. Through the thinning veil, both the
darkness, and the light are penetrating. And while the world
becomes subtly entrenched in clouds of darkness, speckled rays of
prophetic light have been piercing through, fulfilling the
prophecies of Joel 2:28-32. Over 20 years ago, one such ray of
light struck me, an ordinary 12-year-old boy. In a vision, I saw an
eagle whose countenance and power was unfathomable. Electricity
pulsated throughout the feathers of His body, and while He glared
at me with His glowing eyes, He stretched out His wings. A star of
light formed between them, and struck me on my forehead. I am
finally beginning to understand the knowledge that was imparted to
me on that night so long ago...

A scathingly funny, wildly erotic and fiercely imaginative story
about food, sex and god from the Women's Prize longlisted author of
The Pisces A STYLIST, INDEPENDENT, THE WEEK AND RED HIGHLIGHT FOR
2021 'Sexy and fun and a little weird ... This riot of carnal
pleasure will make you laugh as well as gasp' The Times 'A
revelation ... Melissa Broder has produced one of the strangest and
sexiest novels of the new year ... Exhilarating' Entertainment
Weekly 'A luscious, heartbreaking story of self-discovery through
the relentless pursuit of desire. I couldn't get enough of this
devastating and extremely sexy book' Carmen Maria Machado, author
of Her Body and Other Parties Rachel is twenty-four, a lapsed Jew
who has made calorie restriction her religion. By day, she
maintains an illusion of control by way of obsessive food rituals.
At night, she pedals nowhere on the elliptical machine. Then Rachel
meets Miriam, a young Orthodox Jewish woman intent upon feeding
her. Rachel is suddenly and powerfully entranced by Miriam - by her
sundaes and her body, her faith and her family - and as the two
grow closer, Rachel embarks on a journey marked by mirrors,
mysticism, mothers, milk, and honey. Pairing superlative emotional
insight with unabashed vivid fantasy, Melissa Broder tells a tale
of appetites: of physical hunger, of sexual desire, of spiritual

love, certitude, and the question of what we are all being fed,
from one of our major writers on the psyche - both sacred and
profane.
In the 1600s, the Rosicrucians issued a set of manifestos calling
for an enlightened revolution that would reshape society into a
more democratic ideal. This book reintroduces a new generation of
readers to the Rosicrucian ideals, as well as to a myriad of
connections between occult concepts as varied as alchemy,
reincarnation, the astral plane, auras, and Eastern and Western
mysticism.
In the public imagination Satanism is associated with bizarre
rituals, perverse hedonistic lifestyles, heavy metal music,
immature adolescents acting out, horror movies, and rumors of
ritual abuse. But what are the facts behind the urban legends and
the "moral panics" that periodically sweep the country regarding
this countercultural phenomenon? This authoritative reference work
gathers together scholarly studies of Satanism and original source
material, focusing on two major aspects-organized religious
Satanism and the Satanic Ritual Abuse hoax that was prevalent in
the 1980s and early 1990s. The contributors first examine modern
Satanism, a decentralized movement whose only coherence is based on
certain themes that date back to the writings of Anton Szandor
LaVey, especially his Satanic Bible. Among other factors, the
authors discuss how the emergence of the Internet as a form of
communication has created some coherence among disparate groups
through cross-reference. Many articles are devoted to the Satanic
Ritual Abuse scare, an erroneous belief in a vast underground
network of Satanists who were abusing children. For years members
of the law enforcement community and numerous therapists,
encouraged by the hype of mass media, bought into this panic. Other
topics include the role of the media in the perceptions of Satanism
and Satanic Ritual Abuse, juvenile delinquency and Satanism, and
police pursuit of satanic crime. The volume concludes with primary
source material, including a report from the Ritual Abuse Task
Force and selections from current Satanism groups. This objective
reference work will be useful for professionals in many fields and
members of the public interested in sorting out the facts from the
myths surrounding this controversial subculture.
In the book Medium7, Canadian researcher and author Donna
Smith-Moncrieffe shares insight from her journey to find truth
about the nature of existence. Smith-Moncrieffe provides engaging
cases studies and uses rigorous scientific methods to determine the
existence of an afterlife and the extent to which mediums can
accurately predict the future. Through extensive interviews with

in-depth look into how mediums interact with the spirit world and
communicate with the deceased, how thoughts create reality, and how
reincarnation impacts mankind's existence.
She also inspires others to embark on their own personal
journeys of discovery to learn more about the purpose of life and
become more confident about the final destination.
Medium7 shares a range of ground-breaking studies involving
mediums, near death experiences, and past life regression therapy
to provide knowledge, courage, and hope for anyone interested in
understanding more about the true nature of our universe and
mankind's existence--now and for eternity.
"It is not the time of the creation in itself that disturbs us, nor
is it the so-called fall or the time when mankind wandered the
world between light and darkness. What disturbs us is what we
suspect transpired in the time before time." Magister Amarantus
Sodalitas Sanctum Seth Classical Gnosticism points to a path, which
is not a path, but rather a path between the paths. It is a story
told at the strike of the thirteenth hour on the mystical dial of
the wise; from a mental position between truth and falsehood,
reality and dream, in a spiritual place that unites all things in a
point without a centre. The tradition, to which this book refers is
based on Biblical stories of creation, the nature of God, how man
came to live on earth, and how we may recapture what humanity lost.
This tradition has a systematic enquiring approach to redemption.
It thus relies on our own understanding and our own experiences to
grasp it. This is the path called Gnosticism; Sethian Gnosticism.
In this work, H. Spencer Lewis leads an investigation and
discussion on the cyclical hidden forces which work to alter and
affect our lives each day. Notable within the occult movement for
his research and accounts of forces unknown, Lewis pioneered a
system that explains much of the unusual events that beset both
people and the world at large. Namely that a supreme and unending
series of cycles permeate the universe, themselves influenced by
cosmic forces acting beyond our planet and solar system. These
forces span all manner of things; life and death, the creation of
souls, and the very passage of time. Each of the phenomena for
which the cyclical forces are responsible receive explanation.
Lewis was fascinated by this background energy, and would even
invent devices intended to detect and measure cosmic rays. This
book also acts as a life guide; by observing, predicting and acting
according to the cyclical phenomena in our lives, we may enjoy
fortune, prosperity and harmony in everyday existence.
