Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Occultists and Mystics of All Ages The difficulty of treating of such a subject as the life and activities of the Philosopher of Tyana lies in the fact that the story of Apollonius's career has been overlaid with legends of the miraculous on the one hand, and distorted by religious prejudices on the other; while the only authoritative account of this great religious reformer is marred by the glaring deficiencies of the writer for the task which he had in hand, and his inability to appreciate the life-work of the subject of his biography. Indeed he fills many pages with literary padding of the worst kind, while he fails to give us over and over again the very facts which it is of value and importance for us to know.

Book excerpt: Ralph Shirley was born on December 30, 1865 into the aristocracy. As a result, he enjoyed the trappings of wealth, and was educated at Oxford University. He went on to become the director of William Rider & Son, a publisher of books on what is today considered New Age topics: occultism, astrology and psychic research, among other topics. In addition, Shirley founded Occult Review in 1905, helped lead the International Institute for Psychic Investigation, and also served as editor and author of several books on related subjects, including out of body experiences and astrology. Arguably, his most popular book is The Mystery of the Human Double: The Case for Astral Projection, originally published in 1938, which was also his final book. Ralph passed away a few years after its publication on December 29, 1946. This new edition is dedicated to Dr, Nancy Sundow, a leader in the bibliography of psychic studies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Zelma, the Mystic: Or, White Magic, Versus Black When occult truths shall be more commonly ap plied to public affairs, the pathways of both legislator and teacher will be less devious and thorny. I have aimed to make this plain, as well as to impress upon the inventive mind the necessity of cultivating the inner or spiritual insight, as a means to success. I have also desired to have the book mechanically and artistically correct. The full-page illustrations have been procured at a large expense, and I trust they will be looked upon with pleasure and profit. Too much credit cannot be given the artists who have joined their interests with mine to make the venture a success. In this connection I have deemed it wise to employ only the best of talent, even though the number of plates should be less. With these few explanatory words, I herewith sub mit my offering to a critical public for better or worse, and cheerfully abide the verdict that shall follow. A. M. T.

Download or read book TechGnosis written by Erik Davis and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TechGnosis is a cult classic of media studies that straddles the line between academic discourse and popular culture; it appeals to both those secular and spiritual, to fans of cyberpunk and hacker literature and culture as much as new-thought adherents and spiritual seekers How does our fascination with technology intersect with the religious imagination? In TechGnosis—a cult classic now updated and reissued with a new afterword—Erik Davis argues that while the realms of the digital and the spiritual may seem worlds apart, esoteric and religious impulses have in fact always permeated (and sometimes inspired) technological communication. Davis uncovers startling connections between such seemingly disparate topics as electricity and alchemy; online roleplaying games and religious and occult practices; virtual reality and gnostic mythology; programming languages and Kabbalah. The final chapters address the apocalyptic dreams that haunt technology, providing vital historical context as well as new ways to think about a future defined by the mutant intermingling of mind and machine, nightmare and fantasy.

Whitehead and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-11 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mystic Thesaurus, or Initiation in the Theoretical and Practical Secrets of Astral Truth and Occult Art The following pages contain the original chapter on the Magic Mirror, first published in December, 1897, by myself, in connection with a partner, in a work entitled Agrippa's Natural Magic - a reprint of the first of the three books of Occult Philosophy of Henry Cor helius Agrippa - which I edited and set up in type during the last quarter of that year. In January, 1899, the plates and copyright were purchased by Ernest Loomis, of Chicago, and I joined in the transfer of the copyright with the express understanding (in view of its moral ownership by the Brotherhood of Magic, and further known as the Royal Adepts of Mysticism) that Ishould continue in my right to publish the original chapter entitled, The Magic Mirror - A Message to Mystics, by Direction of the Brotherhood of Magic, containing full instructions on its make and use, the same embracing a prefatory page, made up of a, verse headed A Message from the Stars, under a zenith of light and dark stars. This ornamental constellation is symbolic of the Astral Brotherhood of Magic, and contains the hidden things mentioned in my preface to the book. Testimonial proof of the astral origin of the Mirror chapter is found in the wonderful story of these stars and the hidden things therein which we explain. The Message has been carefully revised and amended, and constitutes. With the exposition of its preliminary star constellation, an initiation in the practical secrets of the realm of mystic truth and art. The Symbol of the Cross - partly an exposition of the dedicatory page of Natural Magic (by courtesy of Mr. Loomis) - is an interesting study in symbolism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Secret Do not look to find in this volume a history of occultism, or a methodical monograph on the subject. To such a work one would need to devote whole volumes, which would of necessity be filled with a great measure of that very rubbish which I wish above all to spare the reader. I have no other aim than to tell as simply as possible what I have learned in the course of some years that were spent in these rather discredited and unfrequented regions. I bring thence the impressions of a candid traveler who has traversed them rather as one seeking to observe than as a believer. These pages contain, if you will, a kind of summary, a provisional stock-taking. I know nothing that may not be learned by the first comer who will travel the same road.

Book excerpt: From its earliest days, America served as an arena for the revolutions in alternative spirituality that eventually swept the globe. Esoteric philosophies and personas—from Freemasonry to Spiritualism, from Madame H. P. Blavatsky to Edgar Cayce—dramatically altered the nation’s culture, politics, and religion. Yet the mystical roots of our identity are often ignored or overlooked. Opening a new window on the past, Occult America presents a dramatic, pioneering study of the esoteric undercurrents of our history and their profound impact across modern life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Occult World I am bold enough to say this because the Mahat mas, or great philosophical teachers of Asia, into some relations with whom I was enabled to come under the circumstances described in the following narrative, have now surrendered to the outer world so much of the spiritual science they have hitherto jealously guarded, that the whole framework Of their stupendous doctrine has grown intelligible. Fragments of esoteric truth of that science of su perphysical nature which the Adepts explore have been thrown out into the world at large from time to time before now, but in puzzling and unattractive disguises. The esoteric doctrine is no new system of belief, but, on the contrary, can be discerned now as lurking in a good deal of Old Kabalistic and Ori ental literature, that very few ordinary readers could have made sense of without the help of the keys now put in their hands. But now at last the subject has emerged into the clear daylight of modern thinking, and the central principle Of the sublime esoteric doctrine stands plainly revealed as one which har monizes in absolute perfection with the preparatory conceptions of Nature that have been derived by physical science from the observation and reflectionxu preface TO the american editioiv.

Download or read book The Art of the Occult written by S. Elizabeth and published by Frances Lincoln. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A visual feast of eclectic artwork informed and inspired by spiritual beliefs, magical techniques, mythology and otherworldly experiences. Mystical beliefs and practices have existed for millennia, but why do we still chase the esoteric? From the beginning of human creativity itself, image-makers have been drawn to these unknown spheres and have created curious artworks that transcend time and place – but what is it that attracts artists to these magical realms? From theosophy and kabbalah, to the zodiac and alchemy; spiritualism and ceremonial magic, to the elements and sacred geometry – The Art of the Occult introduces major occult themes and showcases the artists who have been influenced and led by them. Discover the symbolic and mythical images of the Pre-Raphaelites; the automatic drawing of Hilma af Klint and Madge Gill; Leonora Carrington's surrealist interpretation of myth, alchemy and kabbalah; and much more. Featuring prominent, marginalised and little-known artists, The Art of the Occult crosses mystical spheres in a bid to inspire and delight. Divided into thematic chapters (The Cosmos, Higher Beings, Practitioners), the book acts as an entertaining introduction to the art of mysticism – with essays examining each practice and over 175 artworks to discover. The art of the occult has always existed in the margins but inspired the masses, and this book will spark curiosity in all fans of magic, mysticism and the mysterious.
