Ancient Philosophy, Mystery, and Magic by Peter Kingsley
£68.00
This study also explores fresh evidence which proves Empedocles was not an isolated figure and reveals new linksbetween his work and ancient Pythagoreanism. The process of establishing these links now makes it possible to demonstrate, in detail, the Pythagorean origin of Plato's myths. Kingsley re-examines problems regarding the connections between ancient magic, science, and religion.
More specifically, he traces for the first time a line of transmission from Empedocles and the early Pythagoreans down to southern Egypt, and from there into the world of Islam. `highly polemical new book... The thesis is argued with immense learning.' Times Higher Education Supplement

Of Cosmogonic Eros by Ludwig Klages
£55.00
2nd Edition. Limited Hardback.
Ludwig Klages’ seminal monograph on the true elemental nature of Eros as a world-shaping power and its related states of intoxication and ecstasy was one of Theion’s past bestsellers. Highly in demand since it sold out and due to its importance to researchers and practitioners alike, we decided to make this influential work available again.
This monograph is dedicated entirely to an in-depth examination of the mysteries of Eros and the most powerful forms of ecstasy. Here Klages presents a pandaemonic vision of becoming which is inextricably linked to an Eros whose elemental power shatters everyday consciousness and mates the individual to the secrets of the cosmos. The author seeks to restore Eros to his true status and function by carefully distilling his essence against all falsifications and distortions. Showing how Eros is related to Thanatos and integral to every true cultus of the dead and ancestral worship, Klages leaves no doubt that only the Eroto-Gnostic holds the keys to authentic Life and the daemonic empowerment of the Cosmos.
Of Cosmogonic Eros is an indispensable work for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the nature of Eros and ecstasies and the metaphysical conflicts we face in modern times. For researchers and practitioners of Esoteric Traditions and Eroto-Magical systems of spirituality, this book must be considered a treasure chest of insights and knowledge.
Gnosis: Divine Wisdom by Frithjof Schuon
£6.99
Man’s most fundamental needs may be summed up as the need for Knowledge, for Love, and for a Way to salvation. At the present time many people feel cut off from any true meaning of existence, and the rush and personal worry of modern life as well as inner states appear to make it more and more difficult to satisfy these needs, to find a fundamental basis of living traditions, but people seldom have the necessary discrimination or guidance, and many soon lose heart or go astray.
Gnosis expounds different aspects of the great Traditions, including a remarkable section on the Chrisitan tradition, and points ways towards the Wisdom, Love and Sanctity which are the fruits of spiritual realization, and the distinguishing purpose of man’s existence.
