Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt 8040051   $ 36.00
Product Image Atlantis And The Ten Plagues of Egypt: The Secret History Hidden In The Valley of The Kings: Shows how a desecrated tomb in the Valley of the Kings holds the key to the true history of the destruction of Atlantis? Reveals that Tomb 55 in the Valley of the Kings was designed not to keep intruders out, but to trap something inside? Provides forensic evidence proving that the mask believed to be the face of Tutankhamun is actually that of his elder brother SmenkhkareIn" Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt," Graham Phillips explores the excavation of a mysterious and ritually desecrated tomb in the Valley of the Kings, Tomb 55, which he contends holds the key to the true history of the destruction of Atlantis. Unlike other Egyptian tombs designed to keep intruders out, Tomb 55 was constructed to keep something imprisoned within, specifically Smenkhkare, the older brother of Tutankhamun who was deemed responsible for the ten plagues in Egyptian history, to prevent such tragedies from ever happening again. The forensic findings from this tomb coupled with compelling new evidence from the polar ice caps provide sensational evidence that the parting of the Red Sea, the deaths of the first born, and the other plagues that afflicted Egypt were all actual historical events. Core samples from the polar ice caps indicate that a gigantic volcanic eruption took place in the eastern Mediterranean around the time of Amonhotep's reign. Other research suggests this to have been the time of the eruption that destroyed the Greek island of Thera, one of the likely locations of Atlantis, and that the subsequent cataclysm may explain the unusual lack of resistance to the new religion installed by Amonhotep's son, Akhenaten, when he took power several years later.

Behold a Pale Horse 3030213   $ 60.00
Product Image The author, former U.S. Naval Intelligence Briefing Team Member, reveals information kept secret by our government since the 1940s. UFOs, the J.F.K.. assassination, the Secret Government, the war on drugs and more by the world's leading expert on UFOs. REVIEW Behold a Pale Horse is definitely not a book to curl up on the couch with on a Sunday afternoon. The topics William Cooper discusses will very likely keep you reading late into the night. There are two types of people in the world: those who want to know who exactly is controlling whom, and those who are more comfortable taking things at face value. I will say up front that I didn't believe everything I read in this book, such as some of the references about UFOs. What really disturbed me was the theory of the true intent of the government. Cooper's account of what the government is capable of in times of heightened alert is extremely relevant now. It is important to keep in mind that this book was published before the attack on the World Trade Center because the US is finding itself in exactly the position Cooper predicted. Whether or not you think you might agree with the information in this book, I recommend any book written by someone who was killed for the purpose of silencing him or her. Be an informed citizen and know what your government is capable of.

Book of Constellations 6120040   $ 38.00
Product Image This fascinating narrative recounts the history of astronomy and, with more than 100 full-color illustrations, it shows readers how to find the planets and constellations in the night sky. In ancient times, people thought that the Sun, Moon, and stars were gods. They recorded their movements and imagined that the stars made pictures in the sky. The Greeks and the Romans related these "pictures" of animals and men—or constellations—to their legends. They also identified planets and named them for their gods—Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter. Their observations marked the first step in the development of astronomy, which today is a sophisticated science. Modern astronomers have followed the tradition of naming heavenly bodies after ancient gods. For instance, the solar system's outer planets weren't identified until after the telescope's invention, but with their discoveries they were named after Uranus, a Greek god of the sky . . . Neptune, the Roman god of the sea . . . and Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld. The author recounts the legends connected with many constellations, including Aquarius, Aries, Cancer, Orion, and others. This beautifully illustrated book helps readers navigate their way around the night sky as they learn the significance of heavenly bodies' names. Color photos and illustrations throughout.

Books on Fire 8070059   $ 64.00
Product Image Books on Fire: The Destruction of Libraries Throughout History: A historical survey of the destruction of knowledge from ancient Babylon and China to modern times - Includes the three separate destructions of the Library of Alexandria as well as many equally significant collections around the world - Examines the causes of violence directed at repositories of knowledge - Looks at the dangers posed by digitalization of books to the free availability of knowledge in the futureHebrew, Hindu, Nordic, and Islamic traditions share the belief of a vast library existing before the creation of the world. The Vedas say that this library predated the creator's creation of himself. Yet, almost as old as the idea of the library is the urge to destroy it. The reasons cited for this are many: educated people are much harder to govern, and some proclaim that only the illiterate can save the world. There are also great destructions brought about by weather, worms, and even the paranoia of the library's owner. Books on Fire traces the history of this perpetual destruction from the burning of the great library of Alexandria (on three separate occasions) and the libraries of the Chinese Qing Dynasty to more modern catastrophic losses such as those witnessed in Nazi-occupied Europe and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The author examines the causes for these disasters, the treasures that have been lost, and where the surviving books, if any, have ended up. His investigation also reveals a new danger facing libraries today with the digitalization of books threatening both the existence of the physical paper book and the very idea of reading for free. The promise of an absolute library offered by the computer may well turn out to equal the worst nightmares of Ray Bradbury, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell.Books on Fire received the 2004 Societe des Gens de Lettres Prize for Nonfiction/History in Paris.

Dream Culture of the Neanderthals: Guardians of the Ancient 8070062   $ 42.00
Product Image Dream Culture of the Neanderthals: Guardians of the Ancient Wisdom:A number of long standing beliefs and superstitions show how the ideas that dominated the lives of our ancestors still have a powerful influence on us today. The disturbing power attributed to the number thirteen, the positive influence of the number seven and the comfort offered by the admonition 'knock on wood' all betray the enduring presence of our most ancient ancestors: the Neanderthals. Contrary to popular theories, the author maintains that the Neanderthals were not destroyed by the younger Cro-Magnon culture, but were incorporated into the culture through interbreeding. The blending of the disparate influences of the lunar, matriarchal Neanderthals and the solar, patriarchal Cro-Magnons may explain the contradictory impulses and influences that have generated human conflict for millennia. In fact, the author suggests that the caste system in India may have been constructed to utilise the strengths of both lunar and solar cultures and to minimise the conflict between the two. There is evidence that direct descendents of the moon-worshipping, dream-cultivating Neanderthal race are still living in Central Asia today. While their physical descendants may be almost extinct, the influence of Neanderthal occult wisdom remains strong and can be found throughout history among witches, kabbalists, the Knights Templar, Rosicrucians and even in Christianity.

Essence of the Tarot: Modern Reflections on Ancient Wisdom 6080086   $ 35.00
Product Image Essence of the Tarot differentiates itself from other Tarot books by interlacing ancient wisdom with modern insight. The first section, "Ancient Wisdom," explores the major themes of each card or archetype of the Tarot. It contains insight from many sources, including astrology, mythology, the Kabbalah, and modern psychology, and focuses on the more meditative aspect of each card. It also includes a traditional divination and ways to interpret the cards in an easy, approachable manner. The second section, "Modern Reflections," reads similar to a diary, drawing analogies from modern cultural experiences such as literature, film, and daily life in the 21st century. It presents the stories behind the images, which help to make the cards real and alive, removing them from the realm of metaphysics and placing them squarely into everyday reality. It also encourages the reader to develop his or her own unique perspective.

Forbidden History 8040070   $ 41.00
Product Image In Forbidden History, writer and editor J Douglas Kenyon has chosen 42 essays that have appeared in the bimonthly journal Atlantis Rising to provide readers with an overview of the core positions of key thinkers in the field of ancient mysteries and alternative history. The 17 contributors include, among others, Rand Flem-Ath, Frank Joseph, Christopher Dunn and Will Hart, all of whom challenge the scientific establishment to re-examine its underlying premises in understanding ancient civilisations and open up to the possibility of meaningful debate around alternative theories of humanity's true past. Each of the essays builds upon the work of the other contributors. Kenyon has carefully crafted his vision and selected writings in six areas: Darwinism Under Fire, Earth Changes - Sudden or Gradual, Civilisation's Greater Antiquity, Ancestors from Space, Ancient High Tech, and The Search for Lost Origins. He explores the most current ideas in the Atlantis debate, the origins of the Pyramids, and many other controversial themes. The book serves as an excellent introduction to hitherto suppressed and alternative accounts of history as contributors raise questions about the origins of civilisation and humanity, catastrophism, and ancient technology. The collection also includes several articles that introduce, compare, contrast, and complement the theories of other notable authors in these fields, such as Zecharia Sitchin, Paul La Violette, John Michell, and John Anthony West.

Genesis and Geometry of the Labyrinth: 8040073   $ 72.00
Product Image Genesis and Geometry of the Labyrinth: Architecture, Hidden Language, Myths and Rituals - The powerful symbol of the labyrinth exists in countless cultures spanning the globe from Africa and ancient Greece to India, China, and pre-Colombian North and South America. For centuries they have been used for religious rituals, meditation, and spiritual and physical healing. In the labyrinth humanity finds a model of the quintessential sacred space that depicts the most profound levels of consciousness. Its center is regarded in many cultures as a door between two worlds, thus providing individuals with the ideal place for self questioning and meditation. - Illustrated with labyrinths from around the world and throughout history. - Demonstrates how the labyrinth differs from a maze and how it is a tool for interpreting ancient myths and religious beliefs. - Draws parallels between the labyrinth and quantum physics, showing how through the secrets of the labyrinth we can unlock the mystery of life itself. In a comprehensive exploration of this time-honored symbol, Patrick Conty shows how the geometrical construction of the ancient labyrinth corresponds exactly with today's modern geometry, illustrating that recent developments in math and physics parallel the science of ancient civilizations. By looking at the way the two systems complement each other, Conty draws new conclusions about the ancient world and how that world can benefit us right now. Conty explores not only physical labyrinths but also reveals how the same transcendent principles are at work in Celtic knot work; the designs of ancient Chinese cauldrons; the tattoos and tracings of primitive art; the textiles of Africa, Peru, and Central America; and the geometric patterns in Islamic art.

Lords of Light 8060080   $ 35.00
Product Image Lords of Light: The Path of Initiation in the Western Mysteries: W.E. Butler offers his personal insights on the spiritual life, and provides an accessible course of training in the Western mystery schools. About the Author Born at the turn of the century, W. E.

Masters of the Seven Rays 3030363   $ 35.00
Product Image REVIEW: The preface notes that this book was produced at the request of students and colleagues who wanted a simple but accurate source of information about the Masters. He has certainly accomplished this goal. While there is a lot of information concerning the Masters in Alice Bailey's Initiation Human and Solar, Lindsay goes beyond this source to extract information from the other Bailey books as well as from numerous sources. Like his book on The Shamballa Impacts, there are many useful tabulations and a glossary. These books have the potential of being extremely valuable to students of the Ageless Wisdom tradition, both those who are new to the teachings and to the more advanced disciple. Phillip Lindsay has provided a great service in producing these books. --Charles DeMotte, Professor of History, Empire State College, New York. The subject of the Masters has always been highly controversial, ever since Madame Blavatsky announced their existence to the world at the end of the 19th century. Since then there have been claims and distortions around their identity and function in the world, making a travesty of the whole subject. It is hoped that a more balanced perspective is presented here, that can provide accurate and concise information to newcomers of the Ageless Wisdom as the subject of the Masters is one that many seekers first come across.

Matrix of Creation: Sacred Geometry in the Realm of the Plan 8040065   $ 34.00
Product Image Matrix of Creation: Sacred Geometry in the Realm of the Planets: Reveals the ancient mathematical principles refuting the notion of the solar system as an accidental creation ? Reveals how ancient civilizations encoded their secret knowledge of the sky in mythology, music, and sacred measures ? Shows how modern culture can benefit from the ancient astronomical and astrological worldview based on number ? Shows the role of ratio and harmonic proportions in the creation of the material world Humanity's understanding of number was deeper and richer when the concept of creation was rooted in direct experience. But modern sensibility favors knowledge based exclusively on physical laws. We have forgotten what our ancestors once knew: that numbers and their properties create the forms of the world. Ancient units of measurement held within them the secrets of cosmic proportion and alignment that are hidden by the arbitrary decimal units of modern mathematical thinking.Sacred numbers arose from ancient man's observations of the heavens. Just as base ten numbers relate to the fingers and toes in terms of counting, each celestial period divides into the others like fingers revealing the base numbers of planetary creation. This ancient system made the art of counting a sacramental art, its units being given spiritual meanings beyond just measurement. The imperial yard, for example, retains a direct relationship to the Equator, the length of a day and a year, and the angular values of Earth, Moon, and Jupiter.The ancients encoded their secret knowledge of the skies within mythology, music, monuments, and units of sacred measurement. They understood that the ripeness of the natural world is the perfection of ratio and realized that the planetary environment and time itself is a creation of number.

Product Image New Moon Astrology: Using New Moon Power days To Change And Revitalize Our Life: In this groundbreaking new work, Jan Spiller shows how to use New Moon Power Days to make wishes for anything - from how to find a soulmate to how to have better health to how to find a more satisfying career. The New Moon - the moment when the moon aligns with the sun - is a traditional astrological time of new beginnings. Jan Spiller has determined that New Moon Power Days last up to 48 hours after the moment of the New Moon itself. This is the precise monthly time when the universe is most receptive to wishes. In addition, the location of the North Node of the Moon at the time of birth can help explain the areas of a person's life they may be pre-destined to have difficulty with - money, romance, career, etc. Jan Spiller shows how to use the magic of New Moon Power Days to help overcome these astrological karmic blocks.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogons 8050085   $ 41.00
Product Image Sacred Symbols of the Dogon: The Key to Advanced Science in the Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs: In "The Science of the Dogon", Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science - atomic theory, quantum theory and string theory - their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter. Scranton, also, pointed to the close resemblance between the keywords and component elements of Dogon cosmology and those of ancient Egypt and the implication that ancient cosmology may, also, be about actual science."Sacred Symbols of the Dogon" uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept and that their meanings are scientific in nature. Using the Dogon symbols as a "Rosetta stone," he reveals references within the ancient Egyptian language that define the full range of scientific components of matter: from massless waves to the completed atom, even suggesting direct correlations to a fully realised unified field theory.

Science of the Dogon 8050086   $ 38.00
Product Image Science Of The Dogon: Decoding The African Mystery Tradition - The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. "The Science Of The Dogon" offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood. "The Science Of The Dogon", also, offers compelling new interpretations for many of the most familiar Egyptian symbols, such as the pyramid and the scarab and presents new explanations for the origins of religiously charged words such as Jehovah and Satan. The whole text reveals striking similarities between Dogon symbols and those used in both the Egyptian and Hebrew religions, with amazing implications for the history of civilisation.

Shamanic Way of the Bee 8070067   $ 28.00
Product Image Shamanic Way of the Bee: Ancient Wisdom and Healing Practices of the Bee Masters: Bee shamanism may well be the most ancient and enigmatic branch of shamanism. It exists throughout the world - wherever, in fact, the honeybee exists. Its medicinal tools - such as honey, pollen, propolis and royal jelly - are now in common usage and even the origins of Chinese acupuncture can be traced back to the ancient practice of applying bee stings to the body's meridians. In this authoritative ethnography and spiritual memoir, Simon Buxton, an elder of the Path of Pollen, reveals for the first time the richness of this tradition: its subtle intelligence; its sights, sounds and smells; and its unique ceremonies, which, until now, have been known only to initiates. Buxton unknowingly took his first steps on the Path of Pollen at age nine, when a neighbour - an Australian bee shaman - cured him of a near-fatal bout of encephalitis. This early contact prepared him for his later meeting with an elder of the tradition who took him on as an apprentice. Following an intense initiation that opened him to the mysteries of the hive mind, Buxton learned over the next 13 years the practices, rituals and tools of bee shamanism. He experienced the healing and spiritual powers of honey and other bee products, including the "flying ointment" once used by mediaeval witches, as well as ritual initiations with the female members of the tradition the Mellisae - and the application of magico-sexual "nectars" that promote longevity and ecstasy. "The Shamanic Way Of The Bee" is a rare view into the secret wisdom of this age-old tradition.

Spiritual Practices of the Ninja 8060076   $ 32.00
Product Image The Ninja are a mysterious warrior elite said to be so spiritually advanced that they know the mind and will of God. Regarded with awe as masters of invisibility and "warriors of the shadow-self", their legendary skills include the ability to command the elements and transform themselves into Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Void - the nothingness from which all things stem. In this book, Ross Heaven reveals the training exercises and mental discipline used by the Ninja to develop these extraordinary physical, emotional, mental and spiritual skills. Central to Ninja philosophy is the understanding that there is no higher power than the actualised human being. The Ninja believe there are four gates to freedom and, to pass through them, we must overcome four initiatory ordeals. Succeeding at these enables us to combat fear, find true power, clarify our vision and overcome the soul fatigue that is at the root of our personal and social problems in order to embrace our positive energies and realise our talents. Ross Heaven guides us through these four gateways with exercises and initiations that utilise the energy of the lover, seeker, magus, soul warrior and mystic, as well as dealing with their shadow manifestations that may be causing problems in our lives. We learn how to break the destructive habits of the past and create bushido, a personal code to live by. Without initiation, we cannot access and channel our energies; they remain uncontrolled or even work against us to turn these elemental forces into allies.

Tohunga - The Revival 1005013   $ 49.00
Product Image In New Zealand Maori have gone through a renaissance. Where traditions were seen as all but lost suddenly someone with the knowledge has come forth and it has been injected back into mainstream Maori society: language, carving, weaponry, dancing, singing, ancient navigating lores and tattooing. What next? The author of this book believes the time has come for a new era of Maori spiritual progress. His work seeks to provide insights into the work of tohunga today. Part One, Te Wananga o Te Ao Marama, tells of the coming of the world of light. It recounts oral creation traditions from the Io priesthood. In Part Two, Tohungatanga, the first chapter on Maori history is given to demonstrate the journey of Maori esoteric knowledge. There is disclosure on how the student of tohunga lore was originally introduced to the priesthood via initiation. Explanations are made about the tohunga schools of learning, initiation rites, and a grade structure is given that has not previously been presented. The remaining section of the book follows the grade structure of tohunga learning, disclosing each grade of knowledge in sequential order chapter after chapter. Unlike the student of old, who had to undergo learning in the whare-wananga, here the author gives the practical methods of work in order for you to use them in your life. Included are traditional methods of communicating with the atua, reading weather signs, reciting chants, understanding the roles of the atua and healing. The last chapters are committed to understanding the lore of Io-matua-kore, the higher cosmology of the Io religion.

Product Image Knowledgeable elders of ancient times, and their descendants today, studied the heavens and the stars - such was matai whetu, study of the stars - to identify the heavenly bodies and their relationships to each other. The knowledge gained was arranged in whakapapa, genealogies. Recitation of the star names was known as tatai whetu; navigation across the seas was tatai aro rangi: finding the appropriate path by the stars. The maramataka, or literally moon calendar, and the seasons were determined by the heliacal rising (rising just before the Sun) of certain stars. Knowledge of their world was the tool the ancients used to order their lives. From the first twitch in Te Kore, which gave life, to the continuous flow of creation, carried in the waters of life, even unto the breath of life, which allows creatures to move under their own mana, all the universe shares the tapu and the mana of the gods, to a greater or lesser degree. When an ariki dies he or she is said to be wheturangitia, to be made into a star in the sky; their eyes become stars in the heavens. So, in a very real sense, the ancestors are all around us, as the mountains and the stars in the sky. People live on Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother, while above us the ancestors' eyes adorn the cloak of Ranginui, the Sky Father. Changes brought about by the introduction of a new religion and the effects of colonization resulted in much of the ancient knowledge being lost to view, with few being taught in the colleges of learning for chiefly children and those with special aptitudes. However, the elders were wise and were able to foresee a time when more would be lost. In the ancient way the knowledge was incorporated in stories and songs, then in more modern times they made use of the new art of writing. In this way the knowledge is there; some is lost, but much has been kept. Those who wish to access the learning to their ancestors may do so, but as the elders point out, to obtain knowledge is a privilege: the hinengaro or desire of those who wish to learn must be matched by the payment, the utu. Today that utu is the use of brain power in obtaining the knowledge; in making use of it, the principle of mana, respect applies. Whether the person is Maori or not there is a duty of respect to the elders of the past and the present, recognizing their ownership in the knowledge and in its use, so as not to diminish their mana or that of their descendants. Kay Leather and Richard Hall have taken that learning and placed it beside star lore. Polynesian and Maori astronomical knowledge is separate from the ancient systems of Mesopotamia, Greece, the Moorish world, Europe, China, Yucatan or other places and cultures. However, all deal with the same phenomena and so may offer valid comparisons and insights to those who study them. Modern world astronomy is built on the knowledge of the past and the way in which the universe came to be and is ordered according to the theories or myths. The ancient Maori view of the heavens is only one small part of the total religious philosophy. We of this time and age, can appreciate that philosophy even if we may not completely understand it. In the myths and stories from Polynesia a particular map of the heavens is invoked. As the ancestors moved south so they adapted to the map to incorporate the stars seen from these latitudes. This was the work of learned people, scientists. Today we can take their work further into the far realms of Te Kore, to the origin of matter. The work of Kay and Richard follows the insight of the nineteenth century elders in recording their knowledge in writing, by making that knowledge available in published form. Young and old people of today and tomorrow may look and learn to see the heavens from a Maori perspective.
