A History of Esotericism - From the Paleolithic to the Axial Age introduces the history of esotericism, the theoretical study and attainment of mystical, occult, "inner" reality. It begins with an introduction to esotericism and gnosis as a fourth way of knowing alongside reason, spirituality, and science. Rather than situating esotericism and gnosis in a timeless, ahistorical world, it is embedded in history as a human phenomenon that contains a transcendent element within society in keeping with historical circumstances. The story of gnosis is, therefore, also the story of the awakening of consciousness, and hence this review begins at the very beginning, in deep time with the origin of consciousness. From there, it progresses to early humans. The development of spiritual and transpersonal consciousness and the understanding of inner reality is followed through ancient and modern shamanism, the Neolithic revolution, megalith builders, the Great Mother archetype, Proto-Indo-Europeans, Mesopotamian Gods and epics, and Egypt with its God-Kings and profound knowledge of the afterlife. The book then examines the great Axial Age revolution: The Persian development of morality-based spirituality and 'good vs. evil.' The Indian metaphysical revolution with themes such as reincarnation, karma, and spiritual enlightenment. The Chinese philosophy of the I Ching, Taoism, and the polarity of yin and yang. The Abrahamic discovery of monotheism. The culture, philosophy, cosmology, psychology, and proto-science of Bronze Age, Ancient, and Classical Greece. Additionally, A History of Esotericism discusses topics such as the relationship between faith, reason, and gnosis, the evolution of consciousness, the spirit world, the association between myth and archetype, the afterlife and the nature of Gods, Earth energies, the imaginal world, the Jungian unconscious, symbolism, and egregores. The associations between magical, mythical, and metaphysical thinking, the nature of the soul, and consciousness, are also considered. A comprehensive glossary is included.

Quite in Theo. Gift's best vein are these stories adapted from the Birth Stories of Buddha. They teem with wit and satire-which will be fully appreciated by both adults and the children for whom they are written.Some of the tales seem strangely familiar, despite-or in consequence of-their Eastern origin. As is well known, many-nearly all, in fact-of the tales that have been told to children through the Ages are derived from the simple folk-lore of the imaginative Orient, and hence it is that a definite connection may be traced between the Birth Stories of Buddha and the nursery tales so dear to our own childhood.It suffices to say that these fairy tales, excellent in themselves, are rendered all the more entertaining on account of the choice illustrations from the brush of 0. Von Glehn, and the tasteful binding and general get-up of this latest addition to the mystic lore of nurserydom. Once more it is shown how much greater are the privileges of the child of to-day than those enjoyed by a former generation. ¿"Of the books for youthful readers which year by year herald the return of Christinas, some rather more than average specimens have reached us. Fairy Tales from Ike Far East by Theo. Gift, are culled from Professor Rhys David's translation of the Birth, Stories of Buddha. They are skillfully arranged and adapted for the use of children by Theo. Gift. Each little tale, or fable, contains some simple homely moral." - Westminster Review

Captain Lourenço d'Ourantes lives in the cold, northern wood of Luiçiana. His soldiering days are over. He has taken refuge among a people who rid themselves of their overlord and the servants of the Church in order to be free of their control. One day, a messenger arrives from the county of Constança Valley in the south. D'Ourantes' first impulse is to send him away, he has no interest in revisiting his fighting days. But then the messenger explains that he is wanted by the Count not as a soldier, but as a wolf hunter. The same wolf that escaped his clutches in White Cliffs has returned to torment the people of Constança Valley and has killed the Count's son. D'Ourantes will embark on a journey of redemption, dodging the traps set by bandits, robbers, and rapists, coming across boatmen, blind seers, Robin Hood figures. Night of the Wolf introduces us to a land of legends that exists only in the author's imagination - the same feat he achieved with his previous novel, Night of the Crow - so convincingly that we feel the cold in our bones, the swaying of the boat, the coarseness of the rope around our wrists, the slicing of teeth. Perhaps we know more about the wolf than we think. Abel Tomé won the prestigious Illa Nova Award for Fiction for Night of the Wolf. His previous novel, Night of the Crow, is also published by Small Stations Press.

A compilation of short stories and experiences that will bring you closer to your Angels and Guides where you'll uncover powerful messages from Spirit, explore the realm of miracles, and how highly evolved beings come to work from Heaven.

My first book, A Soul Call from Prison: How Yoga and Taoism Cured My Crises with Cocaine and Christianity, covered how I survived 23 years in federal prison using various forms of meditation to cope with the experience. There, I quoted passages from an obscure book that provided me with many answers I had been seeking. This scripture revealed God in a way I could understand. The words were like a ringing bell rousing me from a deep sleep. It confronted and conquered, the contradictions and paradoxes, I encountered with religion as a child. It provided insight into my suffering, showed me how to start a spiritual quest, and gave practical advice for feeling better. Most importantly, it inspired me. It did then, and it continues to every time I pick it up. The Kolbrin might be the best scripture you've never read. For those receiving their first exposure to the Kolbrin, I feel a father's joy in watching his children unwrap gifts. The world deserves to know about this book, and I hope my small effort will shed light on it. I modeled 365 Meditations after the Daily Bread magazine format, which features Bible verses and accompanying lessons, along with instructions, stories, inspiration, and commentaries. The Daily Bread is designed to help the reader start each morning with a spiritual mindset. Reading a section fortifies you to face the day's hardships. Likewise, this book has been divided into short sections. Each one takes a passage from the Kolbrin and reflects upon it. The book covers meditation, its importance and how to implement it. This book is for the newcomer or backslider to spiritual life. It gives daily insights for one to draw closer to a spiritual awakening. This book will show you how to get started, offer a helping hand when you feel down, and motivate you when you feel lazy. You can read it all at once, in chunks, or place it in the bathroom and read when you are guaranteed a few minutes' privacy.
