author Edward A. Marrero Laureano brings forgotten history into
view while illuminating the truth. Laureano-a visionary, space and
time traveler, and dreamer-discusses his journeys into the past in
order to correct history, to explain what really happened, and to
clarify why people change history for their benefit.
He investigates and exposes the secrets and mysteries that have
shrouded history since the beginning of the world, and he reveals
subjects that will transform the way humans perceive the universe.
Aliens and Angels sheds insights into an array of mysteries: Who is
the mysterious woman in the Mona Lisa painting? Where is the exact
location of Atlantis? What is the truth about Jesus Christ in the
Bible, hidden in plain sight? What is the origin and mechanics of
UFOs?

A marvelous book, at once comprehensive and highly readable, a

--Michael Owen Jones, University of California, Los Angeles The End
of the World As We Know It makes accessible to both scholars and
general readers the amazing panorama of millenarian scenarios
abounding in America at the end of the millennium. --Robert S.
Ellwood, University of Southern California Will stand for some time
as the best survey and analysis of the meaning and place of
apocalypticism and millennialism in American culture. --Religion
and Literature Fascinating and] intelligent . . . should be
required reading. --Psychotronic From religious tomes to current
folk prophesies, recorded history reveals a plethora of narratives
predicting or showcasing the end of the world. The incident at
Waco, the subway bombing by the Japanese cult Aum Supreme Truth,
and the tragedy at Jonestown are just a few examples of such
apocalyptic scenarios. And these are not isolated incidents;
millions of Americans today believe the end of the world is
inevitable, either by a divinely ordained plan, nuclear
catastrophe, extraterrestrial invasion, or gradual environmental
decay, Examining the doomsday scenarios and apocalyptic predictions
of visionaries, televangelists, survivalists, and various other
endtimes enthusiasts, as well as popular culture, film, music,
fashion, and humor, Daniel Wojcik sheds new light on America's
fascination with worldly destruction and transformation. He
explores the origins of contemporary apocalyptic beliefs and
compares religious and secular apocalyptic speculation, showing us
the routes our belief systems have traveled over the centuries to
arrive at the dawn of a new millennium. Included in his sweeping
examination are premillennial prophecy traditions, prophecies
associated with visions of the Virgin Mary, secular ideas about
nuclear apocalypse, the transformation of apocalyptic prophecy in
the post-Cold War era, and emerging apocalyptic ideas associated
with UFOs and extraterrestrials. Timely, yet of lasting importance,
The End of the World as We Know It is a comprehensive cultural and
historical portrait of an age-old phenomenon and a fascinating
guide to contemporary apocalyptic fever. Daniel Wojcik is Associate
Professor of English and Folklore at the University of Oregon and
author of Punk and Neo-Tribal Body Art. He received his Ph.D. in
Folklore and Mythology from the University of California, Los
Angeles.
"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.

BYGONE BELIEFS - ALCHEMY, MAGIC, TALISMANS, ETC BEING A SERIES OF
EXCURSIONS IN THE BYWAYS OF THOUGHT By H.Stanley Redgrove
Originally published in 1920, this rare early work on ancient
beliefs is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition.
Obscure Books Press have now republished it, using the original
text and illustrations. The author was an expert in the study of
superstitions and the occult, and wrote several books on these and
other related subjects, as well as being a prolific contributor to
The Occult Review. In this book he expounds on his opinion that
there is a reason for every belief, even the most fantastic, and
that it should be our objective to discover this reason. He
considers that it is too easy for the superficial thinker to
dismiss much of the thought of the past as mere superstition, not
worth the trouble of investigation: but that is not scientific. The
book's two hundred and twenty pages contain twelve comprehensive
chapters plus many illustrations: Some Characteristics of Medieval
Thought Pythagoras and His Philosophy. Medicine and Magic.
Superstitions Concerning Birds. The Powder of Sympathy: A Curious
Medical Superstition. The Belief in Talismans. Ceremonial Magic in
Theory and Practice. Architectural Symbolism. The Quest of the
Philosopher's Stone. The Phallic Element in Alchemical Doctrine.
Roger Bacon: An Appreciation. The Cambridge Platonists. Everything
possible to be believ'd is an image of truth. William Blake. Many
of the earliest works on Folklore, magic, superstition and the
occult, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are
now extremely rare and increasingly expensive. OBSCURE BOOKS PRESS
are republishing many of theseclassic books in affordable, high
quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Do I believe in angels? This is the question of the century. I'd
like to take a minute to share a different concept of angels. The
beautiful angels with golden halos and soft, gossamer wings, seen
floating around mysteriously searching for people to help are only
seen in pictures. I believe angels do exist and can be found in our
thoughts as an explanation for something we can't explain in any
other way. Angels are God's thoughts passing to mankind and there's
an angel thought with each of us, ever present, always available to
comfort. The Bible tells us that we will hear what God, the Lord,
will speak. All we need to do then is to be still and listen for
these soft voices from a benevolent God who loves us
unconditionally. There's an angel thought reflecting every idea
needed by humanity. The stories that follow are all true. Each one
demonstrates the power in listening for the still, small voice. Ask
me again. Do I believe in angels? Yes, of course, they are the
continuous flow of right ideas from God to man.
