2012 Reprint of 1932 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. E. J. Langford Garstin was a Cancellarius of the Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega during the second quarter of the 20th century. "The Secret Fire" begins the journey with the documentation of various instances in which the SECRET FIRE is described including the Bible and continues with the various words of the Alchemists and Rosicrucians leading up to one of the clearest unveilings of our SECRET FIRE found anywhere. This is Alchemy, pure and simple. Garstin was a chief of an A.O. Temple and well versed in alchemy as this book indicates. Garstin was the first A.O. Chief in the 1930s to discuss Chakras and their effect, and he brought them into the periphery of the Golden Dawn teachings through their alchemical links. The Alchemical teachings here concentrate on the spiritual aspect of the work, Book M', the Philosophical Mercury of the Rosicrucian manifestos. This book is a must for all those studying the Golden Dawn, its roots, its history and its teachings." --Pat Zalewski, author of the highly acclaimed The Magical Tarot of the Golden Dawn'.
SHAMANISM is understood by some people to be a primitive form of religion or religio-magic practised by the aborigines of northern Asia as well as by all other aborigines in other parts of the world. This opinion is held by Mikhailowski, Kharuzin, and some other Russian scientists. Others hold that Shamanism was only one form of expression of the religious cult of northern Asia, practised in order to avert the evil spirits. This opinion is found in the writings of Jochelson and Bogoras. There is still another view put forward, which it is well for us to consider. This view we find expressed very clearly in the following extract from Klementz: 'One must not lose sight of the fact that in the various beliefs of the Siberian tribes a very close connexion is noticeable, and, likewise, there can be observed an uninterrupted identity in the foundations of their mythology, and in their rites, even extending as far as the nomenclature-all of which gives one the right to suppose that these beliefs are the result of the joint work of the intellectual activity of the whole north of Asia.'
Imagine the forest. As darkness falls, the somber beeches disappear in misty twilight and shadows seem to gather under their branches. Far away, the blackbird's call tells of the coming of the night. The birds cease their singing, silence descends, soon the beasts of the night will make their appearance. Between tangled roots, hidden by nettles and brambles, the earth seems to ripple. A few humps of earth seem to emerge from the ground. They are the last traces of burial mounds, of mounds, which were tall and high 2500 years ago. Many of them have disappeared, hidden by tangled roots of beech and oak, ploughed flat by careless farmers, others again show caved-in tops where grave robbers have looted the central chamber. The locals shun these hills. There are tales that strange fires can be seen glowing on the mounds, and that on spooky nights, great armed warriors arise from their resting places. Then the doors to the deep are thrown open and unwary travelers have to beware of being invited into the halls of the dead and unborn. Here the kings of the deep feast and celebrate, time passes differently and strange treasures may be found. Who knows the nights when the gates are open? Who carries the primrose, the wish-flower, the strange blossom that opens the doors to the hollow hills?
This book's primary purpose is to explore in depth, Christ's journey throughout time.His roots and teachings from a Gnostic viewpoint.Material gathered personally from research along with spiritual awareness.
The Essential Guide opens the door to the darkly resplendent worlds of the Left Hand Path. Part philosophical treatise, part ontological stand-up comedy, and part magical practicum, this book makes clear what many other books have only hinted at. For people with wit and perseverance, this book is a training manual for super-men and women. Don Webb has been a practitioner of the Left hand path since the 1970s. He is the former High Priest of the Temple of Set, the world's largest Left Hand Path organization, and the author of the best-selling Seven Faces of Darkness.
For several years the High Priest of the Temple of Set, unveils some of his own personal inner teachings originally shared with Initiates of the Temple. From the contents of this book all persons who are serious about their own initiatory self-transformation will learn things of deep value which can be put into practice for purposes of self development, regardless of the path they are on. The Temple of Set is the leading philosophical branch of the Left-Hand Path Initiation openly operating in the world today. This book makes some of the inner teachings of the Temple available to the general public for the first time. Don Webb was for some years, before his retirement, the High Priest of the Temple of Set.
2011 Reprint of 1958 London Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This is Levi's first treatise on magic and was translated into English by Arthur Edward Waite as "Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual." Its famous opening lines present the single essential theme of Occultism and gives some of the flavor of its atmosphere: "Behind the veil of all the hieratic and mystical allegories of ancient doctrines, behind the darkness and strange ordeals of all initiations, under the seal of all sacred writings, in the ruins of Nineveh or Thebes, on the crumbling stones of old temples and on the blackened visage of the Assyrian or Egyptian sphinx, in the monstrous or marvelous paintings which interpret to the faithful of India the inspired pages of the Vedas, in the cryptic emblems of our old books on alchemy, in the ceremonies practised at reception by all secret societies, there are found indications of a doctrine which is everywhere the same and everywhere carefully concealed. ( From the Introduction)." Levi's version of magic became a great success, especially after his death. That Spiritualism was popular on both sides of the Atlantic from the 1850s contributed to this success. His magical teachings were free from obvious fanaticisms; he had nothing to sell, and did not pretend to be the initiate of some ancient or fictitious secret society. He incorporated the Tarot cards into his magical system, and as a result the Tarot has been an important part of the paraphernalia of Western magicians. He had a deep impact on the magic of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and later on the ex-Golden Dawn member Aleister Crowley. He was also the first to declare that a pentagram or five-pointed star with one point down and two points up represents evil, while a pentagram with one point up and two points down represents good. It was largely through the occultists inspired by him that Levi is remembered as one of the key founders of the twentieth century revival of magic.
The Book of Abramelin tells the story of an Egyptian mage named Abramelin, or Abra-Melin, who taught a system of magic to Abraham of Worms, a German Jew presumed to have lived from c.1362 - c.1458. The system of magic from this book regained popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries due to the efforts of Mathers' translation, The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, its import within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and later within the mystical system of Thelema. Georg Dehn attributed authorship of The Book of Abramelin to Rabbi Yaakov Moelin, a German Jewish Talmudist. This identification has since been disputed.

For the Western mind, this is the only Book on Tantra you will ever need. A bold statement? Perhaps. However, the idea behind this book is simple: It is power. It is Kundalini, dressed in Western clothes. It describes experiences and techniques which allow you to glimpse beyond ordinary day-to-day reality, into a world of marvels - and horrors. This new volume of tantric instructions removes much of what is obscure and moralistic in tantra, and reveals it to be an ancient cross-cultural system of self-development. It examines in detail the marriage of magick and yoga, as well as the discipline of focusing all aspects of one's life on the goals of the tantric system. "Tantra without Tears" is an excellent introduction for those who wish to undertake practical work in the Hindu and Tibetan tantric traditions.
A comprehensive guide to the history, theory and practice of Pow Wow, this book draws upon historical documentation, traditional methods, and a life of personal experience. Pow Wow, or Braucherei, as it is known by its practitioners, is a system of folk magic that has its roots in Christian and Pre-Christian Germany, but its character is wholy American - the quintissential American magical system. Drawing on quotes from the Bible, qabalistic principles and old gromoires, it is empowered by the Holy Trinity, and most practitioners consider themselves to be Christian, much like the Cunning Folk of England. The final chapter, about Doctor Santee, references material and uses a photograph that is copyright GLHoke, and used with permission. "The Red Church: The Art of Pennsylvania German Braucherei is the finest book on German magic to be seen in decades. Comprehensive in its historical, philosophical and cultural roots, The Red Church is a book that will be appreciated by academics and modern practitioners of not just folk and ceremonial magic alike, but also energetic and faith healing, symbolism, and cultural psychology. Extensively researched and documented, no one interested in the survival of Medieval and Renaissance magic into the modern era should be without a copy of it within easy reach." - Mark Stavish, Director of Studies, Institute for Hermetic Studies, author of, The Path of Alchemy, Freemasonry - Rituals, Symbols and History of the Secret Society, and Between the Gates: Lucid Dreaming, Astral Projection and the Body of Light.
Paracelsus, the father of modern medicine, was a controversial 16th-century scientist and healer who challenged the medical world's reliance on classical texts and abstract reasoning with his holistic approach, an approach that will strike a chord with many people today, in an age where alternative medicine is becoming more and more popular. This book fills the long-standing gaps in our knowledge of the man and his work.
What Dr Hyatt called 'The You Meditation' or 'The You Mantram' or 'Maha' or 'Sensing and Feeling' is perhaps the most important practice in many yogas (where it is called Mahasatipatthana). By any name, it is deceptively simple, yet immensely Powerful. In this new DVD, Hyatt discusses this '4th Pillar' of his system and demonstrates its great Power.
What are "The Black Books"? They are a series of booklets from Dr Hyatt and the Extreme Individual Institute. Little can be said about the "Black Book" series lest it give away its intention and reduce its impact.

Many regard alchemy as a metaphor for inner transformation. But
this is only half the story. According to Catherine MacCoun,
alchemy is no mere metaphor. It's real magic. Transforming the
inner world is, for the alchemist, a way to transform the outer
world. Through studying the principles of alchemy, we can achieve
extraordinary effects from ordinary actions by understanding how
the world really works. We can perceive the hidden connections
between the spiritual and the material worlds. Knowledge of these
connections enables us to influence external phenomena through the
powers of heart and mind alone. Yet alchemy is not, like some forms
of magic, the exercise of mind over matter. It is the art of taking
what already exists--whatever presents itself--and transmuting the
harmful into the helpful, the useless into the valuable. "On
Becoming an Alchemist" initiates us into these secrets, showing us
how to think, perceive, and operate as an alchemist. It offers
practical advice and exercises that will help the modern magician
to:
This title includes 2 DVDs and a booklet. What is Energized Hypnosis? It is a breakthrough program for gaining personal power, peace of mind and enlightenment. The techniques of Energized Hypnosis were developed many years ago by Dr Christopher Hyatt and Dr Israel Regardie, but have remained 'in the closet'...until now. For most people hypnosis has been viewed as anything from stage magic to the workings of the devil. Recently, however, science has begun to take a deep interest in hypnosis as tools such as the MRI allow us to actually see the power and effect of hypnosis on the brain. How does Energized Hypnosis work? First the entire body is energised, opening it to the power of your suggestions. Once the body-mind is freed from its energy blocks, the full effect of hypnosis can be utilised to change not only habits but your entire approach to life! This method takes advantage of our deep organic nature, which Dr. Hyatt calls the Innate Power Response. Using the methods of Energized Hypnosis, you will learn to elicit this Response at Will to enhance relationships, control habits, improve business and, most importantly, harness the power and wisdom of the Universal Mind. "Volume 3, Sex & Beyond", provides exercises, sequences and inductions which specifically target the sexual energy centres. (Before working with "Sex & Beyond", you should first become thoroughly familiar with the "Basic Techniques" of Volume 1.) You will learn the special techniques and exercises and, most importantly, the Sequences which are essential to stimulate and utilise this powerful energy.
