The Gnostics
by Andrew Philip Smith

According to the ancient Gnostics – the early Christians who wrote such controversial texts as the recently discovered Gospel of Judas – we are all capable of gnosis, or direct knowledge of the true reality that lies behind the material world. Andrew Phillip Smith, author of respected works on the lost sayings of Jesus, the Gospel of Philip, and other Gnostic subjects, now offers a highly accessible layman’s introduction to this long-suppressed philosophy that offers an intriguing alternative to accepted Christian beliefs. With references to The Da Vinci Code, The Matrix, and other fictions inspired by the Gnostic worldview, this is an eye opening, and possibly life-changing book meant to revive forgotten traditions, and perhaps even allow readers to experience gnosis themselves. This is a 248-page softcover book.

Q.B.L. – Being a Qabalistic Treatise on the Nature and Use of the Tree of Life
by Frater Achad (Lon DuQuette tran)

Q.B.L. is a unique work in both Qabalah and Thelemic circles. In the world of the Qabalah, Frater Achad revealed revolutionary new principles that caused students of the Qabalah to reexamine and thus deepen their knowledge of the Tree of Life. In Thelemic circles, Aleister Crowley named Frater Achad his magical heir and Achad was fully expected to lead the cause of Thelemic Magick after Crowley’s death – until publication of this book caused a rift between the two and Crowley began to distance himself from Achad. This is a rare and valuable book, both for its insight and circumstances. True understanding of the Qabalah and its benefit in magical practice is clearly described, and the information contained is both practical and revelatory. The circumstances surrounding it – Frater Achad’s falling out with Crowley and eventual descent into apparent insanity – prove a valuable lesson and warning for individual seekers and those associated with established mystery schools. This is a 155-page softcover book.

Gilbert, detailing why this is a must-read for students of the occult and Enochian magic. This is a 175-page softcover book.

The Mayan Prophecies for 2012 (hc)
by Gerald Benedict

The Winter Solstice – December 21-22, 2012 – marks the end of the famous Mayan Long Count Calendar. It concludes the 5,000-year Fourth Age and heralds a cataclysmic change – either the end of the world as we know it or the dawn of a new golden age. Gerald Benedict has thoroughly studied the Mayan prophecies that focus on this significant date and discovered that they can only be understood in the context of the special relationship that existed between Mayan religion, cosmology, astronomy, mathematics, and spirituality. Benedict brings this deep knowledge to his enlightening and beautiful gift book, which translates each prophecy poetically, explains its message, and elucidates its meaning to bring Mayan wisdom to life again. Above all, he reveals how this ancient civilization and its prophecies remain relevant for us today. This is a 242-page hardcover book.

Modern Shamanic Living – New Explorations of an Ancient Path
by Evelyn Rysdyk

Do you ever feel your word is so "civilized" that you can’t express yourself? That there is a part of you that needs to be remembered? Evelyn Rysdyk can help you to understand and use this feeling to transform your life. She asserts that while most of us have assimilated into our agriculturally-based society full of rules and regulations and community care, many of us still possess the urgent instincts of the hunter who lives in the moment – the gatherer – who feels part of the great fabric of life; the nomad – who not only trusts but thrives, and even seeks, the uncertainties of the journey. Using shamanic journeying, meditation, movement, sound, and storytelling, Rysdyk shows you how to get in touch with these parts of yourself so that you can develop the creative energy that lives inside you. She offers a renewed way of living, full of richness, peace, physical health, and harmony for ourselves and the future of our planet. This is a 109-page softcover book.

The Tree of Enchantment – Ancient Wisdom and Magic Practices of the Faery Tradition
by Orion Foxwood

In Faery Seership the truths we seek can only be found within ourselves, within nature, and within our relationships to nature. At the center of the Faery Tradition lies the Tree of Enchantment: the symbol for these relationships and for the threefold life of humanity. At each level of the tree, there are attending spirit forces that vary from beings of light to beings of shadow, from the ancestors of humanity to the architects of form and nature, from the destiny of our planet to the creation forces of the universe. The tree’s roots grow through the lower world, where all life originates and the dead travel, its trunk and lower branches reach out across the middle world, where elemental forces and the four directions guide us, and its highest branches reach the into the upper world and the Star realm. Weaving together folk tradition and extensive academic research, Orion Foxwood has created and accessible, beautifully written pathway into the Old Religion of Faery Seership. Based on Appalachian traditions, Wiccan studies, Celtic oral traditions, and the Craft from Western and Northern Europe, The Tree of Enchantment offers the student of Faery Tradition both introductory and advanced visionary practices and authentic tools to learn to navigate the three realms of humanity. With diligence and an open heart, the reader will learn to cross The River of Blood, pass through The Gate of Awakening, and over The River of Stars. This is a 264-page trade softcover book.

The Art of the Samurai (hc)
by Yamamoto Tsunetomos Hagakuri - (trans. by Batty Steben)

300 years ago, the former samurai Yamamoto Tsunetomo wrote Hagakure, a masterpiece on the art and values of these much-revered Japanese fighters. Ever since, warrior chiefs have preserved it as a moral and practical treatise for themselves and their samurai retainers. Once closely guarded and shown to just a chosen few, it is now available to us all in this visually breathtaking new version. Whereas Machiavelli’s The Prince shows how to succeed amid treacherous political intrigues and Sun Tzu’s The Art of War reveals battle strategies for bloodless victory, Hagakure offers fascinating insight into Japanese warrior-nessa mindset steeped in Zen-Confucian philosophy. Yamamoto Tsunetomo tells his readers how to foster courage, serve selflessly, become a skilled master of your own destiny, and infuse life in the here and now with beauty – while still acknowledging its transience. His timeless wisdom and profound aphorisms reflect important principles that still apply to life today. This illustrated edition of the classic text is an essential and stunning addition to any home library. This is a 272-page hardcover book.
