Alchemy and Pharmacy
Alchemy and Pharmacy is still one of the more accessible books on the mysterious art of alchemy. The result is a book that takes you on a fascinating journey, starting with the discovery of medicine in Ancient Egypt, via Greece and Rome to the legendary Merlin, Albertus Magnus, Raymond Lulli, Roger Bacon, Cornelius Agrippa, Dr. Dee and alchemical symbols.
Amazons
The Amazons (1910) by Guy Cadogan Rothery (1863-1940) and Religious Cults Associated with the Amazons (1912) by Prof. Florence Mary Bennett (1880–1954) are still two of the very few books ever published on these legendary female warriors. The world of the Amazons lies scattered between legend and historical fact. Greek writings give many details about the geography, history and anthropology of the Amazon nation and the Athenians in particular were most insistent about the historical reality of a nation consisting only of women warriors.
Anansi
Anansi is both a god, spirit and African folktale character. He often takes the shape of a spider and is considered to be the spirit of all knowledge of stories. He is also one of the most important characters of West African and Caribbean folklore. The Anansi tales originate from the Ashanti people of present-day Ghana. The Jamaican versions of these stories are the most well preserved, because Jamaica had the largest concentration of Asante as slaves in the Americas, and their most complete compilation is found in Anansi, Jamaican stories of the Spider God.
Aradia
Aradia is focused on Diana or Tana, her daughter Aradia and Lucifer. This wonderful book describes the creation according to Italian witch-lore. We also read about the witch-meeting or sabbath (treguenda) and it contains many original magical recipes, like spells for love and good fortune. Diana is further connected to the Moon and the fairy world.
Asteroïden-gids
De Asteroïden-Gids is het eerste grote astrologische naslagwerk ter wereld dat de duidingen in de horoscoop behandelt van 15 categorieën nieuwkomers in de astrologie. Dit maakt verbluffend trefzekere duidingen mogelijk, die ook in psychologische diepgang en tijdgeestactualiteit een revolutie ontketenen.
Centaurs, Damocloids & Scattered Disc Objects
Challenging the astrological status quo, this book discusses the fascinating astrological significance of no less than 85 Centaurs and Centaur related asteroids like Scattered Disc Objects (SDOs) & Detached Objects, Damocloids, retrograde Asteroids and (ex-) Comets. Astronomy positions these unstable objects with their unusual orbits at the forefront of the evolutionary shifts in our Solar System. Analogue with this astronomical status, the astrological newcomers described in this book are vital for a true understanding of out-of-the-box thinking people, as well as complex Zeitgeist-issues and actual mundane phenomena.

Chaldean Magic
The essentials of magic in Chaldea are presented within the context of comparison or contrast to Egyptian, Median, Turanian, Finno-Tartarian and Akkadian magic, mythologies, religion and speech. Interesting is the Chaldean demonology, with its incubus, succubus, vampire, nightmare and many Elemental spirits, most of them coalesced with the primal powers of nature. Chaldean Magic dwells on the threshold of predating sjamanistic lore and the later systemization of the occult. This makes the work of Lenormant an invaluable and fascinating source for both the academic and the modern occultist.
Cubewanos, Haumeids and other TNOs
This book fills in a gap by discussing the astrological meaning of 50 important Trans-Neptunian objects like Albion, Logos, Varda, Praamzius, Chaos, Teharonhiawako, Altjirah, Sila-Nunam, Salacia, Borasisi, Deucalion and Arroboth, Manwë and Haumea.
Demonology and Devil-Lore 1
Within the demonology scope, this rare and mostly forgotten, almost 1000 pages thick masterpiece, remains unsurpassed in quality and completeness. Even in the 21st century the works offer fascinating missing links for both the academic and student of occult traditions. Moncure Daniel Conway divides Volume 1 in three parts and deals mainly with the evolution and thematic classification of ex-gods, demons and nature creatures.
Demonology and Devil-Lore 2
Demonology and Devil Lore 1 & 2, by Moncure Daniel Conway, were both published in 1897. Within the demonology scope, this rare and mostly forgotten, almost 1000 pages thick masterpiece, remains unsurpassed in quality and completeness. Even in the 21st century the works offer fascinating missing links for both the academic and student of occult traditions.
Devil-worship in France
In Devil-Worship in France, Waite attempts to discern what is genuine from what is fake in the evidence of 19th century Satanism. To get the answers he spends a great deal of time investigating the French Masonic echelon, debunking a “conspiracy of falsehood” and determining what should be understood by Satanism and what not.
Etruscan Magic & Occult Remedies
Etruscan Magic & Occult Remedies by Charles Godfrey Leland was first published as Etruscan Roman Remains in Popular Tradition, in 1892. Part One of the book offers a complete and detailed insight in the Etruscan and Roman rooted pantheon of the Tuscan Streghe (witches). Part Two describes many of their spells, incantations, sorcery and several lost divination methods.
Fairy Mythology 1
The term “Fairy” covers all kinds of nature spirits and Elementals all over the world. Not just the tiny sugar sweet creatures hovering around flowers. In its revised edition, this massive work of over 800 pages, is republished in two volumes to meet modern reading standards. In volume 1 the origins of the term Fairy are traced and oriental and medieval romance, Eddas and Sagas, are examined before we explore Fairy-species as Elle-maids, Trolls, Nisses, Elves, Dwarfs, Necks, Mermaids, Nixes, Heinzelmänchen, Watermen or Wassermänchen, Hödeken, Changeling, Wild women and Little people.
Fairy Mythology 2
Volume 2 deals with Great Britain, the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands, England, Wales, the Isle of Man, Brittany, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, stories of the Finns and Slavonic people and some Jewish and African Fairy-lore. We encounter Fairies in many varieties, Pixies, Brownies, Leprechauns, Chancelings, the Boggard, Puck, the Phynodderee, Kobold, Urisk, Korrigen, the Korred, Tylwyth Teg and more. Just like volume 1, volume 2 displays a precious collection of ancient folklore directly based on the realm of the hidden Elemental nature.
Giants and Dwarfs
Discover the world of Giants and Dwarfs in this revised and first illustrated edition of the classic 1868 book by Edward J. Wood. This fascinating and rare collection of accounts brings to life both mythical and many historical figures, including the infamous Gogmagog and Polyphemus. Explore the chapter entitled “Bible Dwarfs” featuring the biblical hybrid giants known as the Nephilim, as well as forgotten legends and eyewitness accounts of famous dwarfs and giants. From famous figures in lore to the more obscure, and even strange mummified bodies, this book offers a glimpse into an intriguing and often misunderstood world. Divided into 16 chapters, an appendix, and featuring 30 historical illustrations, this revised edition is both compelling and essential for anyone interested in exploring this unique chapter of human history.
Human Leopards
This revised and illustrated edition comes with a Post Scriptum about other Leopard fraternities like the Congolese Anyota, the Nigerian Ekpe and it’s offspring the Cuban Abakuá.
Incubi and Succubi or Demoniality
The incubus and succubus are the same creature. The incubus is its male shape, seducing women. The succubus or succuba visits men, causing nightly pollutions (wet dreams). The intercourse with these astral visitors was called demoniality. A fascinating read for occultist, wiccans, micro-historians, sexologists and those interested in folklore or parapsychology.
Là Bas
The story of Là-Bas concerns the novelist Durtal who is disgusted by the emptiness and vulgarity of the modern world. He attempts to escape it by studying medieval topics and plans to write a biography about the 15th century murderer and devil-worshipper Gilles de Rais. Through his contacts in Paris with Dr. Johannes, (modelled after Joseph-Antoine Boullan, a French Roman Catholic priest accused of Satanism), Durtal discovers that Satanism is not a thing of the past, but alive and kicking in turn of the century France. He embarks on an investigation of the occult underworld with the help of his lover Madame Chantelouve. The novel climaxes with a description of a black mass.
Love Potions Through the Ages
This book takes you on a journey through our sensual and erotic past, beginning in the ancient Middle East and Greece and ending in the Renaissance period and beyond. The erotic sciences of India and the Arabs pass in review, as do all kinds of recipes and local mores, the worship of obscene gods, Venus and the phallus, forgotten practices, love spells, demonic unity, and much more.
Lupercalia
Lupercalia (derived from lupus: wolf) was the name of a very ancient, pre Roman pastoral, held in the city of Rome, each year, on February 15, to avert evil spirits and purify the city, releasing health, productivity and fertility. The festival was also known as Februa or Februatus and gave its name to the goddess Juno Februa(ta) and the month February.
Magic & Mysteries of Mexico
This book saw the light after no less than 35 years of research. Published in 1932 the efforts of Spence are still of actual value for anyone who wants to get a solid grip on this selected body of secrets. Whether you are inspired by Carlos Castaneda, Mexican magic, witchcraft, mythology or Mayan astrology, this volume may be the missing manual you’ve always been looking for.
Magic and Magical Fetish
Magic and Magical Fetish gives a very practical and theoretical insight of the universal principles of magic, categorized in different techniques. Valuable for both anthropologists, Wiccans and occultists. The book deals mainly with primitive, or folk magic, and is one of the very few works ever published which describes wind making and rain making by magical means.
MAGUS Leer & Ritueel
Magie is een beladen term. Wat is magie eigenlijk? Werkt magie? Als het werkt, hoe werkt het dan? Wat is de echte geschiedenis en essentie van de Europese hekserij, nog voor de opkomst van de Wicca? MAGUS – Leer en Ritueel opent de toegangspoorten van twee overlappende werelden, die al duizenden jaren parallel aan de alledaagse werkelijkheid bestaan. Niches in onze realiteit, die veroordeeld en vooral niet begrepen werden.
MAGUS Vuur & Aarde
Magische rituelen werken vanuit onze binnenwereld in de buitenwereld. Maar hoe dan precies? Deze opvolger van MAGUS Leer & Ritueel richt zich expliciet op de kernprocessen van magie zelf en verwijdert allereerst een collectieve blinde vlek, waardoor je begrip van tijd, ruimte, bewustzijn, energie en bezieling radicaal verandert. Het continuüm van tijd-ruimte-energie-bewustzijn is de ‘klei’ waarmee de magiër vormgeeft.
Mysteria
This book was composed by a Swiss freemason – an insider and historian in 1869 – who was posthumously banned by the Nazis. Yet despite this time span, in our days, it is more nurturing for the critical reader than ever before. Otto Henne am Rhyn takes you on a journey, back to the Mystery cults of ancient Egypt, Babylon and Greece, passes the Essenes, Orphics, Templars, the secret medieval tribunals and stone masons. A must read for everyone who is curious about the facts behind the disinformation-hysteria, or who wants to explore the roots and history of still existing “secret” societies.
Nigerian Folk Stories Collected From The Efik, Ibibio & People of Ikom
In the early 20th century Elphinstone Dayrell, a district commissioner located in Ikom, Eastern Province, Nigeria, collected many folk tales from the Efik and Ibibio peoples of Southeastern Nigeria. For the first time these works are brought together in one carefully revised volume: Nigerian Folk Stories Collected From The Efik, Ibibio & People of Ikom.
Numbers
This book deals with Pythagorean number divisions, explains 3 different kinds of Kabbalistic numerology, and reveals the hidden logic and symbolism of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. This is followed by an explanation of Hindu numbers and a long row of numbers between 14 and 25920. Special symbolisms are included, like the link between numbers and planets, and numbers in relation to the Apocalypse.
Ophiolatreia
This book is one of the most substantial and complete books written on this subject. In several voluminous works, Jennings developed the theory that the origin of all religion is to be sought in phallic worship of the Sun and fire, which he properly called “phallism.” Ophiolatreia is just one of its expressions. This collectors item describes the rites and mysteries connected with the origin of ophiolatreia and its rise and development in many parts of the world. The relation between snake worship, raw creation force and sexual energy includes Jennings analyses of Bacchic orgies and rites related to Saturn, Zoroaster, Abaddon, Dionysus and Osiris.
Plant Lore, Legends & Lyrics
Along with Fraser’s Golden Bough and the studies of Wilhelm Mannhardt, W.R.S. Ralston and Charles Godfrey Leland, Richard Folkard’s illustrated Plant Lore, Legends & Lyrics ranks among the most important European classics on folklore. First published in 1884 and personally presented by the author to Queen Victoria, it has not been matched since. Much of the book deals with the spirits of trees and plants, including various types of fairies, fauns, satyrs, dryads and hamadryads. Sacred plants and ceremonies are described, as well as the symbolism of plants in funeral customs and plants attributed to the Devil and the Black Arts. Tables are included and a special – nearly 200 pages – Plant Encyclopedia fills the second part of the book.
Plutinos
Plutinos are asteroids and in some cases dwarf planet candidates, circling around in the inner Kuiper belt, in orbits comparable to the one of Pluto (Pluto-Charon). Astrological research points out that most Plutinos, like their godfather Pluto, exert a compelling force in both personal and mundane horoscopes. They are radical, transforming, confronting, they penetrate the darkness, the blur, or daily life patterns and have a Scorpio-like preference for what you might call soul-mining. They trigger the awareness of slumbering patterns in the depths of our souls and force us to face the truth.
Practical Psychomancy & Crystal Gazing
Practical Psychomancy & Crystal Gazing by New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson deals technically with a clairvoyance technique using the crystal ball, once a popular instrument of Gypsy fortune tellers. Atkinson explains the technique within the framework of psychomancy, in which the crystal ball (just like the black mirror) functions as the “TV screen” of an astral tube. An astral tube is in essence a thought form or servitor that serves as an intermediary between the earthly and the astral world.
Religion and Lust
In Religion and Lust author James Weir Jr. (1856–1906), investigates the origins of religious feeling, the once world wide spread fertility worship and the physical correlation of religious emotion and sexual desire. A major part of the work is filled with a colourful collection of religious, or semi-religious, sexual rites, once practiced all over the globe, connecting the most “primitive” tribe to the most “civilized” nations. Some of them are really bizarre, like an extremely exhausting Pueblo masturbation-ritual, or the poring of wine over the phallus of a saint in France to make a medicine against barrenness.
Sechs Achsen Astrologie
Du hast vielleicht schon einmal über dein Tierkreiszeichen gelesen, das durch die Position der Sonne zum Zeitpunkt deiner Geburt bestimmt wird. Was jedoch viele Menschen nicht wissen, ist, dass es einen anderen wichtigen Aspekt zu berücksichtigen gilt. Dein entgegengesetztes Tierkreiszeichen repräsentiert dein unbewusstes Selbst und hat einen signifikanten Einfluss auf dein Leben. Das große Geheimnis lautet: Dieses entgegengesetzte Zeichen möchte Teil deines Spiels sein und kann eine große Hilfe sein! Wenn du jedoch die Qualitäten und Kräfte vernachlässigst, die dieses entgegengesetzte Tierkreiszeichen charakterisieren, werden sie weiterhin gegen dich arbeiten – bis du sie integrierst.
Six Axes Astrology
The zodiac in 6 axes instead of 12 signs or how your opposite sign completes you
You may have read about your zodiac sign, which is determined by the position of the Sun at the time of your birth. However, what many people don’t know is that there is another important aspect to consider. Your opposite zodiac sign represents your unconscious self and has a significant impact on your life. The big secret is: this opposite sign wants to be part of your game and can be of great help! If you neglect the qualities and forces, that typify this opposite zodiac sign, they will keep working against you – until you integrate them.
Sorceress
Sorceress (the English translation of La Sorcière) by Jules Michelet is still one of the most vivid, dark and confronting studies on witchcraft ever produced. Starting in the 13th century the book moves on towards belladonna, the Sabbath and pacts with Satan, into the hells of the Burning Times – social contexts, church intrigues and mass hysteria always included. Via Basque witches, the Black Masses and demoniacal possessions we enter the satanic decadence of 17th century France, and finally the end of the witch burning era in 18th century, with the trial of Charlotte Cadière.
