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.
Just when you thought you'd seen and heard everything ... another
demon speaks
There are presently too many manifestations of negative, disruptive
and counter-productive phenomena in the Body of Christ for those
who claim to be authentic disciples to sit still, philosophizing,
twiddling their fingers and basking in ignorance...as though Satan
and his demons had gone on an extended vacation, overseas.
This book seeks to unearth several of the diabolic roots that are
responsible for the strangulation of numerous churches and the
destruction of careless, casual, undiscerning Christians, right
across the globe. It deals with controversial topics that are often
branded "taboo" by the religious status quo and which we would
normally discuss only in our most secret chambers, if any at all.
"If I Were A Demon (Part 2)" acknowledges that a fierce, ongoing
Spiritual Battle exists between the two opposing forces, and that
human beings make daily choices that will either cripple or empower
them in their quest for survival on this tumultuous planet.
Are you brave enough to read this book?
Also known as "The Witch Hammer," The Malleus Maleficarum was a
handbook for hunting and punishing witches-written by Inquisitors
HEINRICH KRAMER (c. 1430-1505), an Alsatian clergyman, and JAMES
SPRENGER (c. 1436-1494), a Swiss monk-to assist the Inquisition and
Church in exterminating undesirables. Mostly a compilation of
superstition and folklore, the book was taken very seriously at the
time it was written in the 15th century and became a kind of
spiritual law book used by judges to determine the guilt of the
accused. While some of the articles covered in "The Witch Hammer"
are humorous to modern audiences, they were a matter of life and
death in the mid-1400's. Anyone interested in religion, the
Inquisition, or the witch hunts that ravaged Europe will find this
1928 translation, by MONTAGUE SUMMERS (1880-1948), an unbelievable
and enlightening read.
'A wonderful book by a fabulous author, very highly recommended.'

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.
