Tihuanaco: Cradle of American Man
Arthur Posnansky
Arthur Posnansky (1873–1946) was a Viennese adventurer and scholar who wrote prolifically about the civilizations of ancient Mesoamerica. In this, his final and most important book, Posnansky argues that Tihuanaco was constructed approximately 17,000 years ago by American peoples, although not by the ancestors of those then living in the area. This is a bilingual English-Spanish edition.

The Mask and Face of Contemporary Spiritualism
Julius Evola
Mask and Face is Evola's critique of the spiritual schools, cults, philosophies, and mystical teachers of the 20th century. In it, he compares such newer spiritual “systems” to the traditional spiritual path of the ancients and exposes the misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and occult dangers lurking in their practices. This translation is based on the updated 2008 version of the Italian original.

Introduction to the Hermetic Sciences
Giuliano Kremmerz
Giuliano M. Kremmerz (born Ciro Formisano) was an Italian alchemist, hermeticist, philosopher, and prominent member of the Ur Group, alongside Julius Evola. With his Introduction to the Hermetic Sciences, Kremmerz sought to redefine magical initiation as well as other key components of the occult sciences. His aim was to bring the path of esoteric initiation back into alignment with the procedures and symbolism that defined the spiritual practices of the original Hermetic tradition.

Liber Hermetis
Hermes Trismegistus
Liber Hermetis Trismegisti, commonly known as the Book of Hermes, is a foundational work of Hellenistic astrology that possesses a distinctly Egyptian character. The system of inherited knowledge it describes is older and more complex than anything found in other sources of Hellenistic astrology, and its treatment of the ancient Egyptian "decans" is by far the earliest in any astrological literature. This rare English translation is based on the only surviving Latin copies of a lost Greek original.

Reforging America
Lothrop Stoddard
A brief history the nation from a racial perspective, Reforging America describes its founding by European settlers and its changing ethnic makeup due to immigration. Stoddard illustrates how the preservation of our nationhood must be achieved through immigration restriction, with peaceful race relations maintained through self-segregation, in order to defeat the communist agenda of racial integration and mass immigration. Due to the optimism of the period in which he wrote, Stoddard underestimated danger of communist subversion, and only now, after years of decline resulting from their "long march," are his predictions finally realized. As we enter a new period of optimism founded on national solidarity and the destruction of American communism, this book seems almost prophetic in its accuracy.

Dreams in Old Norse Literature
Georgia Kelchner
Dreams in Old Norse Literature is the outcome of intensive research conducted by Georgia Kelchner over the course of seven years at Cambridge. Kelchner’s landmark work examines the role of dreams in the Icelandic Sagas and other Old Norse literature, as well as various sources of ancient Scandinavian folklore. Of particular note is how the concept of dreams evolved with the advent of Christianity, with Kelchner noting parallels and changes in later post-conversion folklore to further inform an understanding of the importance of dreams to the pre-conversion Norse.

Treatise on Astronomy
Ramon Lull
Ramon Lull (circa 1232-1316), a key figure in medieval literature, was a multifaceted personality who pursued literature, philosophy, theology, and the natural sciences with passion and skill. His Treatise on Astronomy interprets the art of astrology as an abstract logic wherein delineation is at least partly reduced to a calculus of manipulating and combining letters. By this approach, Lull achieves surprisingly elegant derivations of planetary combinations, and planet/sign combinations, with a specific focus on the nature and order of the elemental triplicities. This is a facsimile edition.

The German Mythological Landscape
Guido von List
Between 1877 and 1887, Guido von List published various journalistic works about his earlier travels and mystical reflections on Loci (local spirits), many of which appear in his famous Deutsch-Mythologische Landschaftsbilder of 1891, translated in this first English edition as The German Mythological Landscape.
This book takes us on a journey into a bygone era when the European landscape was still populated by mythical gods and demons. Here, von List examines the folklore of natural landmarks to discover its esoteric origin, revealing the intimate connection of traditional European spirituality to its native soil.
Bringing together such varied topics as the secret Vehm society, werewolf and dragon legends, the folklore of mermaids, runic divination, and the esoteric meaning of fairy tales, von List paints a vivid and often humorous picture of his travels through the myth-haunted European countryside.
