Addresses to the German Nation
Johann Gottlieb Fichte
This series of public lectures, delivered by the idealist philosopher Johann Fichte after the Prussian defeat at Jena in 1806, is widely regarded as a founding document of German nationalism. Fichte's account of the distinctiveness of the German people and his belief in the native superiority of its culture helped to shape German national identity throughout the nineteenth century and beyond.

Memoirs from Beyond the Grave
François-René de Chateaubriand
François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand, was a writer, adventurer, and statesman during the period of the French Revolution. His literary work represents the last intellectual flourishing of a decadent nobility, and justifies his place as a founder of the Romantic school of literature. Chateaubriand’s posthumous Memoirs are a poignant and reflective depiction of his tumultuous life amidst the chaos of the Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, to the eve of the Second Republic and the decline of the French monarchy.

The Philosophy of Fascism
Mario Palmieri
"In Italy, as well as abroad, much has been written about Fascism and its origin… And yet, notwithstanding all which has been written, very few, especially abroad, have understood its essence; and the true spiritual forces which generated it have not always received the right interpretation.
This work of Mr. Palmieri on 'The Philosophy of Fascism' fills a greatly felt deficiency of such bibliography with its exposition of the spiritual aspects of Fascism, and is therefore highly appreciated in times like the present, when the desire to know Fascism in its true essence is becoming so thoroughly widespread" (from the preface).

Prussian Socialism and Other Essays
Oswald Spengler
In the foreword to this series of essays and lectures written mainly during the interwar era, Spengler describes that period as "the years when, after the low point of disgrace, misfortune and dishonourable behaviour, national contemplation began and developed into a movement that has finally become very powerful, not only internally but also abroad."
Collected in this volume are the essays "Prussianism and Socialism" and "Building of the New German Reich," as well as other important works by Spengler associated with the so-called Conservative Revolution, including "Political Duties of the German Youth" and "The German National Character."

Universal Religion
Charles Dupuis
Charles François Dupuis (1742 – 1809) was a renowned polymath, academic, and legislator of the First Republic. Together with his compatriot Volney, Dupuis was responsible for developing the "Christ myth" theory, which argued that Christianity was a syncretic combination of earlier polytheistic religions.
The present work is a foundational text of comparative mythology that outlines Dupuis' theory on the common source of all religions. With ample evidence to support the extraordinary claims of his theory, Dupuis clearly demonstrates the astronomical basis of early myth and its subsequent influence on Christianity.
This is a facsimile of the 1872 edition printed in New Orleans.

Adulruna
Johannes Bureus
The Swedish polymath Johannes Bureus (1568–1652), Royal Librarian and close friend of King Gustavus Adolphus, is primarily known as an exponent of “Gothicism,” the idea that the ancient Goths of Scandinavia were the first rulers of Europe, and Sweden the true origin of Western culture. But he was also an early student of runology, as well as a practicing alchemist. Influenced by the Neoplatonic revival of the Renaissance, Bureus viewed alchemy as part of a Prisca Theologia stemming from the ancient Goths, arguing that the Scandinavian runes constituted a “Gothic Cabala” in which the secrets of all sciences - including alchemy - had been hidden for posterity.

The Archaeometer
Saint-Yves d'Alveydre
The Archaeometer presents a reconstructive analysis of the metaphysical system used by all esoteric Traditions to encode their sacred knowledge through mathematical and geometrical principles into religious art, music, and literature. Its scientific reconstruction of this primordial Aryan cabala holds a key to the system of universal order behind all natural laws.
In the words of the author: “The Archaeometer is the instrument used by the Ancients for the formation of the esoteric myths of all religions. It is the canon of ancient Art in its various architectural, musical, poetic, and theogonic manifestations. It is the Heaven that speaks: every star, every constellation becomes a letter or a phrase, or a divine name lighting the ancient traditions of all peoples with a new day.”

The Great Triad
René Guénon
Guénon’s The Great Triad was the last book to appear during his lifetime. Even for his regular readers, this book contained largely new material, as did his The Metaphysical Principles of the Infinitesimal Calculus, published the same year. The author here refers especially to the Chinese tradition, principally in its Taoist form (though touching on Confucianism as well), in which the ‘Great Triad’ is defined as Heaven-Man-Earth.

Esoterism and the Symbolic
R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz
As a contemporary "renaissance man," R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz may fall into that category of genius shared by such luminaries as Rudolf Steiner and Emanuel Swedenborg. He combined the talents of social reformer, artist, scientist, visionary, and mystic to formulate ideas that were so far ahead of their time they seemed doomed, until recently, to be ignored.
This work represents the first important breakthrough in our comprehension of Egypt since Champollion deciphered the Rosetta Stone. The author's penetration of its symbolism and his intuitive reading of the hieroglyphs situates Egypt, not Greece, as the cradle of our Western heritage. His work serves as a guide that will initiate the reader into the authentic tone, structure, and mentality of Egyptian wisdom.

The Practice of Ancient Turkish Freemasonry
Rudolf von Sebottendorff
This important work by Rudolf von Sebottendorff (founder of the Thule Society and head of the Bavarian Germanic Order) reveals the secret spiritual exercises of the Bektashi mystics, which preserve ancient doctrines of natural philosophy corrupted or forgotten by modern Freemasonry. Sebottendorff explains how the cabbalistic formulas of Sufi mysticism are integrated with Masonic hand signs in a program of spiritual exercises that collect spiritual power into the body and transform the soul from its base condition into a heightened state: the Magnum Opus of the alchemists.

War as Inner Experience
Ernst Jünger
In his war diaries "In Stahlgewittern" (1920) and "Der Kampf als inneres Erlebnis" (1926), Jünger glorified the war as a mythical natural event, from which he saw a "new steel-hard blow of man entering the present". From the horror of the trenches to the sound and fury of the battlefields on the Western front, Jünger celebrates war as a total event belonging to our nature. For him, Man is not destroyed but created by war; he is measured by his capacity to endure pain and sacrifice - if war brings cruel death, it also brings the re-birth of a new Man and of a new world.
