Gothic Kabbalah and Runic Alchemy
Thomas Karlsson
As court magician to Gustav II Adolf, Johannes Bureus sought to combine runes and Norse myths with astrology, alchemy and magic in a system he called Adulruna, or Gothic Kabbalah. Bureus' world of thought belongs to Western esotericism and Gothicism, where nationalist ideas run like a red thread through esoteric speculations.

Fundamental Symbols
René Guénon
In his prolific metaphysical and spiritual writings, Guénon displayed extraordinary insight into the universality of the human experience. This book, arguably the most significant in a modern Western language concerning symbolism, deals with the metaphysical and cosmological meaning of symbols drawn from traditions as far apart as the Greek and the Buddhist, the Druid, and the Islamic. It is a major addition to the English corpus of Guenon's work.

Gold in the Furnace
Savitri Devi
Gold in the Furnace is an ardent National Socialist's vivid and moving account of life in occupied Germany during the aftermath of World War II. Savitri Devi describes in vivid detail how German citizens were subjected to pogroms of imprisonment, starvation, and murder by their Allied "liberators." Yet in spite of this disaster, Savitri did not view it as the end of National Socialism, but as a purification - a trial by fire separating the base metal from the gold - and a prelude to a new beginning.

Rose Cross Over the Baltic
Susanna Åkerman
Investigating the millenarian aspect of Rosicrucianism as it emerges from a reading of Johannes Bureus' papers, Åkerman shows that the Paracelsian prophecy of the Lion of the North (often associated with the myth of a Nordic Superman) was an essential ingredient in the political use of the Rosicrucian writings.

Orpheus and the Roots of Platonism
Algis Uždavinys
This book is a recapitulation or a critical reassessment of ancient and contemporary literature devoted to Orpheus, giving special attention to his relations with both the Egyptian and the Platonic tradition.

Initiation and Spiritual Realization
René Guénon
In accordance with Guénon's last wishes, this volume was the first thematic collection of his writings published after his death. The first part sees Guénon considering the mental and psychological obstacles that may block comprehension of the initiatic point of view and the search for initiation. The second part clarifies and develops several important points regarding the nature of initiation and the conditions for its pursuit. The last, and in many respects the most important part is a metaphysical exposition of the possibility for total spiritual realization starting from our corporeal state.

Atlantis - The Mystery Unravelled
Jürgen Spanuth
Building on the research of Herman Wirth and the Ahnenerbe Society, Jürgen Spanuth developed his thesis of a prehistoric catastrophe in the North Sea leading to the submergence of an island nation, which he interpreted as the mythical Atlantis. From a comprehensive study of historical and archeological evidence, Spanuth proceeded to identify the survivors of this disaster as the historical "Sea Peoples" who invaded Europe during the Bronze Age collapse. This is a facsimile edition.

The Canon
William Stirling Maxwell
In this exhaustive study of the ancient Greek cabala, William Stirling Maxwell argues that the proportions of ancient religious architecture were based on calculations that reveal an exact correspondence with those of the sun, moon, and planets. The system of metaphysical science from which these canonical proportions derive was encoded in occult symbols, images and language whose last clear expression is found in the Greek cabala.

The Multiple States of Being
René Guénon
In this work, Guénon offers a brilliant explication of the metaphysical order and its manifestations, of the divine hierarchies and what has been called the Great Chain of Being, and in so doing demonstrates how intellective or intrinsic knowledge is a true Way of Liberation. Here, Guénon the metaphysical social critic, comparative religionist, researcher of esotericism, and herald of spiritual renewal, disappears. Only reality remains.

Between the Worlds
Various authors
The rich corpus of literary otherworld journeys that has survived from the Scandinavian Middle Ages is in many respects tied to a space 'Between the Worlds'. Every otherworld journey engages with a space 'between the worlds' in the sense that it plays itself out between this world and a world beyond, an otherworld. This volume presents a rich panorama of a broad range of Scandinavian, Celtic, and Slavic perspectives on the topic of the 'otherworld journey', which contextualises the motif of the otherworld journey in Old Norse literature with an unprecedented breadth.

Magika Hiera
Various authors
This collection challenges the tendency among scholars of ancient Greece to see magical and religious ritual as mutually exclusive and to ignore "magical" practices in Greek religion. The contributors survey specific bodies of archaeological, epigraphical, and papyrological evidence for magical practices in the Greek world, and, in each case, discuss how the traditional dichotomy between magic and religion works to conceptualize the objective features of the evidence examined.

Esoteric Teachings of the Tibetan Tantra
C. A. Muses
This volume contains three books of secret Vajrayana Buddhist lore translated and edited by the scholar of esotericism Charles Muses in cooperation with exiled Tibetan monks. Among the esoteric initiation rituals are found many strange passages, including a mysterious prophecy that tells of a future when Tibet will be overrun by demons, while the Naropa texts describe practices such as the Yoga of Entering Another's Body, which can be used to reanimate a corpse. Also discussed at some length is a method of lucid dreaming or "astral projection" known as The Practice of the Illusory Body.

Man and his Becoming According to the Vedanta
René Guénon
Man and his Becoming is Guénon's central exposition of traditional metaphysics, companion to his other two great works in this genre: The Symbolism of the Cross and The Multiple States of Being. Guénon held that Hinduism embraces the most ancient, profound, and comprehensive expression of traditional metaphysics we possess, which can in some ways function as a key to every other traditional form, and this work has been called the first reliable exposition of Hindu metaphysics in any Western language.
