The Kabbalistic Mirror Of Genesis: Commentary On Genesis 1-3


David Chaim Smith - 2010
    It rigorously re-examines the first three chapters of the Book of Genesis from a radical non-theistic position, completely removing the concept of a creator God. Despite this 'heretical' position, the book utilizes a traditionally precise kabbalistic vocabulary and structure. The author takes a position totally devoid of conventional religious 'truth', and probes the ultimate mysteries using epistemological and ontological questioning from a base of gnostic realization. This book was previously only available to a small group of Smith's students and close colleagues, but it became apparent that due to its timely and significant content, it was time to make it available to a wider audience.

The Thoth Tarot, Astrology, & Other Selected Writings


Phyllis Seckler - 2010
    8vo. xviii + 390pp. Blue cloth with silver title etc. to spine. Frontis portrait, Index. Edition limited to 777 numbered copies. Phyllis Seckler (1917-2004) was introduced to the teachings of Aleister Crowley in the late 1930s and became a regular participant in the activities of Agape Lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis in California, and rose to become a Ninth Degree member of the "Sovereign Sanctuary of the Gnosis." She was admitted to the A∴A∴, eventually taking the "magical name" Soror Meral and was later confirmed as an Adeptus Minor by Crowley's successor, Karl Germer. Seckler was a key figure in the reinauguration of the O.T.O. in 1969, and a few years later she founded the College of Thelema, with the intention that it would provide background training for aspirants to the A∴A∴ Although not as widely known as some of her contemporaries, Seckler played a crucial role in the history of Thelema, not only through her efforts to explore and revive Crowley's creed, but also by training a new generation of its students.This book is edited by three of Phyllis Seckler's former students: Rorac Johnson, Gregory Peters & David Shoemaker, and includes a biographical sketch of Phyllis Seckler drawn from her own writings, and 2 of her most important essays: "The Tarot Trumps of Thoth and Psychology" - a detailed analysis of the psychological and magical symbolism of the Trumps of the Thoth deck - and "Thoth Tarot and Astrology," a study of astrology and the natal chart, with special reference to the cards of the Thoth deck. Both presented for the first time in book form, accompanied by redrawn and corrected diagrams.

These are followed by a transcript of the last major interview conducted with Phyllis Seckler, in which she recounted the details of her introduction to Thelema and involvement with the old Agapé Lodge, her subsequent participation in various Thelemic organizations, and her thoughts on developments within the Thelemic world.

Embodying Osiris: The Secrets of Alchemical Transformation


Thom F. Cavalli - 2010
    Westerners have yet to discover the wisdom that dates back even further to ancient Egypt. With a Jungian perspective, clinical psychologist Dr. Thom F. Cavalli plumbs that wisdom through the myth of Osiris, the green-skinned Egyptian god of vegetation and the Underworld. As no one else has done, Cavalli draws on Osiris's death and resurrection as a guide to spiritual transformation. The myth represents the joining of the conscious and the unconscious, the light and the dark, life and death, and shows how to live our temporal existence in service to and anticipation of eternal life. Cavalli sees the ancient art of alchemy -- which attempted to turn lead into gold -- as the key. The alchemical recipe "solve et coagula" (solution and coagulation) encoded in the myth describes the integration of all parts of a person and the method for achieving an experience of immortality in life and eternal life after death. The Osiris myth thus provides a model for the contemporary quest for individuation, the Jungian term for integrating ego and self, body and soul, in the process of becoming whole.

Trinity of Wisdom - Truth, Philosophy & Hermetic Alchemical Qabalah


Mark Dean Knight - 2010
    After his groundbreaking book, Wayki Wayki, Mark Knight’s quest for truth continued. This led to a mystery school in the volcanic regions of Mesoamerica. Here, Mark went through the theory and practice of Hermetic Alchemical Qabalah before entering a 55 day silent fast - where the depths of the unwritten Qabalah came alive and sent him into a "mystical spin." After this process, he was chosen to meet a Hermetic Scientist where he was taught an ancient 100 day Merkaba process using the Emerald Tablet as a guide.The Author takes us on a journey that covers the ancient sciences of raising vibration and awareness, and explains synchronicities, lucid dreams, Qabalistic archetypes, and how to "spin" using the depths within the vehicle of the Unwritten Qabalah. It presents the future times, and shows a clear route map for Merkaba Mysticism and how and why in the coming times this will be useful....indeed truly needed!Trinity of Wisdom presents unvarnished truths, philosophy, as well as a look at evolution, reality, and hidden history, all upon a backdrop of the depths of Hermetic Alchemical Qabalah. In the end, we are taken on a truth based ancient path to self-hood via consciousness.....to the source of all consciousness.
