APOCALYPSE OF BARUCH AND THE ASSUMPTION OF MOSES

Robert Henry Charles

It is no longer news that the texts that became the official Bible excluded apocryphal books, in many cases because they didn?t serve the worldview of the ruling classes. Early in the 20th century, R.H. Charles translated and edited a series of these texts. In 2003, we published The Book of Enoch, apocrypha describing the hierarchy of angels and demons. Now we are pleased to publish this significant end-times text.

Writing at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 ad, Baruch converses directly with God in a series of visions. The fall of Jerusalem is given as part of a larger end-of-the-world scenario. Baruch then receives prophecy: periods of light and darkness shall come, symbolized by rains bright and black, corresponding to alternating times when humanity lives in peace and harmony, then dark periods when evil reigns. Of particular note is the apocalypse when the Messiah appears again on earth. This alternate tale of the apocalypse inspires hope -- evil is punished, condemned to hell and cast off the earth, while those "left behind" are actually the righteous who will enjoy, literally, heaven on earth. Obviously a differing view from the currently in-vogue idea of "rapture."

Also included in this edition is "The Assumption of Moses," an apocryphal fragment noted to have influenced other descriptions of the apocalypse included in the Bible.

"For at the heights of the world they shall dwell,
And they shall be made like unto the angels,
And be made equal to the stars,
And they shall be changed into every form they desire,
From beauty into loveliness,
And from that light into the splendour of glory."

APOCALYPSE...AND THE MAGNIFICENT SEVENS £12.99
APOCALYPSE...AND THE MAGNIFICENT SEVENS

Bonnie Gaunt

This is a fresh and exciting look at the book of Revelation. It is made surprisingly simple with the aid of sacred geometry and the ancient science of Gematria (the Bible's Number Code). Bonnie Gaunt has been researching the Gematria of the Bible for nearly forty years. Her work has received world-wide acclaim. In this, her latest research, she reveals an amazing story that is hidden in the Apocalypse. It is a story that touches the lives of every one of us, because we are living in it. But Apocalypse need not be the picture of doom that some have supposed. It is a beautiful story of hope for a world that surely needs it. Today, with the threat of terrorists and the tragic loss of human life they have wrought, it is comforting to find positive assurance in the prophetic message that has been given to us -- assurance that our world is in safe hands, and under the control of a God who has a magnificent plan for the ultimate joy of His human family. Chapters include: The Apocalypse and its two groups of sevens; The Right of Rulership; The Sevens and Tens of the Apocalypse; Marching Around Jericho; The Treasures of Jericho; The Seventh Trumpet; The Light of Seven Moons; No More Sevens; The Music of the Ages; The Pythagorean Comma seven octaves and twelve perfect fifths.

AQUARIAN MESSAGE £15.99
AQUARIAN MESSAGE
Gnostic Kabbalah, Tantra, and Tarot in the Revelation of St. John
Samael Aun Weor

Samael Aun Weor reveals the true meaning of the Apolcalypse of St John, delivering to humanity the essential clues that have been hidden for almost two thousand years.

From the book: "We have studied the verses of the book of Revelation (Apocalypse) in the Superior Worlds. We give the result of our investigations in this book. Much has been said and written about the Apocalypse. However, only intellectual speculations have been made and the words of various authorities have been repeated. The present work is the result of tremendous esoteric investigations that were patiently performed by us in the Superior Worlds. We have found the Apocalypse to be divided into three parts: the first we have entitled The Son of Man, the second The Sealed Book and the third The New Jerusalem. The first part teaches the Path of the Razor's Edge. The second is related with the times of the end. The third tells us of the future earth. This is a book of practical christification. This is a book of transcendental esoterism and it is absolutely practical."

ARK THE SHROUD AND MARY
The Untold Truths About the Relics of the Bible
Philip Gardiner

Why do the Ark of the Covenant Mary's reliquary box and Jesus' Coffer all have the same imagery? Was the Ark the container of the Covenant the Ten Commandments or the Chalice? Does the image of the Shroud of Turin contain a bioelectric field? These questions and others are explored in THE ARK THE SHROUD AND MARY. Author Philip Gardiner recently won the acclaim of both scholars and the reading public with The Serpent Grail which united three of the most mysterious objects known to man the Grail Elixir and Philosophers Stone. Now in this unique and thought-provoking work Gardiner proves that the Ark of the Covenant the Shroud of Turin and Mary are united in ways never before imagined. Travelling across the world from Rome to India Portugal to Egypt Gardiner uncovers the trail of the Ark and finds that it does not lead to Ethiopia as many believe but instead in a direction that nobody could have imagined. The trail of the Ark takes Gardiner on a hunt into the very heart of an ancient secret society with clandestine meetings in far-off lands. Uniting the myth tradition and language of the Ark with the Shroud of Turin Gardiner then goes on to re-date it reveal how it was made and identify whose image it actually recreates. Through his new-found contacts in the world of secret societies Gardiner then shows how this incredible secret was protected by a dual brotherhood throughout time and was the secret source of the enlightenment spoken of by numerous orders from the Sufis to the Knights Templar.

CATHEDRAL OF THE BLACK MADONNA £14.99
CATHEDRAL OF THE BLACK MADONNA
Druids and the Mysteries of Chartres
Jean Markale

The great cathedral of Chartres is renowned the world over as a masterpiece of High Gothic architecture and for its remarkable stained glass considered alchemical glass and its mystical labyrinth. But the sacred foundations of this sanctuary go back to a long time before Christianity when this site was a clearing where the Druids worshipped a Virgo Paritura: a virgin about to give birth. This ancient meeting place where all the Druids in Gaul gathered once a year now houses the magnificent Chartres cathedral dedicated both to the Virgin Mary Mother of God and to one of the most venerated Black Madonnas in Europe: Our Lady of the Pillar. Coincidence? Hardly says Jean Markale whose exhaustive examination of the site traces Chartres' roots back to prehistoric times and the appeal of the Black Madonna back to the ancient widespread worship of Mother Goddesses such as Cybele and Isis. Markale contends that the mother and child depicted by the Black Madonna are descended from the image worshipped by the druids of the Virgin forever giving birth. This image is not merely a representation of maternal love - albeit of a spiritual nature. It is a theological notion of great refinement: the Virgin gives birth ceaselessly to a world a God and a humanity in perpetual becoming. Poet philosopher historian and storyteller Jean Markale has spent a lifetime researching pre-Christian and medieval culture and spirituality. He lives in Britanny.

CHALICE OF MAGDALENE £13.99
CHALICE OF MAGDALENE
The Search for the Cup that Held The Blood of Christ
Graham Phillips

The popular Arthurian stories of the Middle Ages depict the Holy Grail as Christ's cup from the last supper which was believed to have been endowed with miraculous healing powers and the ability to give eternal life to whomever drank from it. A much earlier tradition however claimed the Grail was the vessel used by Mary Magdalene to collect Christ's blood when he appeared to her after rising from the tomb. While many vessels were claimed to have been the true Grail there was only one thought to have been the chalice used by Mary. From Jesus' empty tomb where it remained for almost 400 years this holy relic known as the Marian Chalice was taken to Rome by the mother of the first Christian emperor Constantine the Great. It was then smuggled from Rome in 410 C.E. according to the fifth-century historian Olympiodorus to save it from the barbarians who sacked the city. Well into the Middle Ages legend persisted that it had been taken to safety in Britain the last outpost of Roman civilization in Western Europe. This journey to England and what happened to the Chalice there is the focus of this book. Graham Phillips's research uncovers the secret legacy of an ancient noble family over generations and a trail of clues hidden in the English countryside that lead to a mysterious grotto a forgotten attic and the lost chalice. In tracing the relic Phillips offers the inside story behind an astonishing adventure that results in the identification of the historical King Arthur and the location of one of the most powerful symbols in Western tradition. Originally published as The Search for the Grail by Century.

CHEMICAL WEDDING OF CHRISTIAN ROSENKREUTZ £12.99
CHEMICAL WEDDING OF CHRISTIAN ROSENKREUTZ

Joscelyn Godwin

The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, often looked upon as the third Rosicrucian manifesto, has an entirely different tone from the other Rosicrucian documents. Unlike the Rosicrucian manifestoes, which address the transformation of society, The Chemical Wedding is concerned with the inner transformation of the soul. It is a deeply interior work, one which asks the reader to step into its world of symbols and walk with Christian Rosenkreutz along his path of transformation.

Despite its importance as a key text of the Western esoteric traditions, this is the first ever contemporary English translation of The Chemical Wedding, made especially for this edition by Joscelyn Godwin. Also included in this edition is an introduction and commentary by Adam McLean, which illuminates the transformative symbolism.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, THE LAST TEMPLAR £16.99
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, THE LAST TEMPLAR

Ruggero Marino

Was Columbus a Templar? According to the historic documents and maps revealed by Ruggero Marino, Columbus shared their dream of Christians, Muslims and Jews living in peace in a New Jerusalem and his voyage across the Atlantic was both to find new passage to Asia and to find the place where the New Jerusalem could be built.

Marino draws parallels between Marco Polo's journey east over the Silk Route and Columbus' sea voyages and reveals that Columbus studied ancient texts and maps from the Vatican Library, access to which was granted by Pope Innocent VIII – who Marino shows to be Columbus's true father. Innocent VIII (whose own father was Jewish and grandmother was Muslim) was the perfect individual to further the Templars' plan to create a universal religion combining the spiritual wisdom of the three faiths. Marino shows that Innocent's 'disappearance' and the story that Columbus merely stumbled onto the New World were part of a calculated political and theological cover-up. While King Ferdinand (the model for Machiavelli's The Prince) and Queen Isabella of Spain are heralded with funding Columbus' 'discovery' of America, it was Innocent VIII who was the main sponsor and mastermind of the expedition. To obscure the purpose of the voyages and give Spain the credit for the New World discovery, Ferdinand and his agent Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia), Pope Innocent VIII's successor, initiated the disinformation campaign that has lasted for over 500 years.

CHURCH OF MARY MAGDALENE £15.99
CHURCH OF MARY MAGDALENE
The Sacred Feminine and the Treasure of Rennes-Le-Chateau
Jean Markale

The small church of Rennes-le-Chateau in a remote village in southern France may well hold the key to the proof of Mary Magdalene's marriage to Jesus and the bloodline they founded. In 1885 the village of Rennes-le-Chateau welcomed a new priest Abbé Sauniere for its church dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene. Abbé Sauniere died in 1917 leaving an indelible imprint on this village both because of his unusual behaviour and the very strange restoration work he ordered for the church. It is thought that he discovered something during the renovation that brought him to the attention of the power brokers of the time and made him a very rich man. Possible identifications of his discovery range from the gold pillaged from Delphi in Roman times the treasure bought out of Jerusalem by the Templars who had a strong presence in the area and the missing Cathar treasure spirited out of Montségur mere days before the fall of the fortress. Yet even more remarkable and compelling is this church's ambiguous portrayal of Mary Magdalene. Markale explains that the unusual depictions of Mary in the church hint at an even more archaic role performed by Mary that could shake the very foundations of the church if it were fully understood that of the high priestess who anoints the priest king into his spiritual duties.

CIPHER OF GENESIS
Using the Qabalistic Code to Interpret the First Book of the Bible and the Teachings of Jesus
Carlo Suares

The Cipher of Genesis unlocks the key to the lost traditions of the Book of Genesis, offering profound implications for faiths rooted in the Hebrew Testament -- Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Jesus knew this secret wisdom and attempted to teach it, but that message remained with only a few. For the most part, the first book of the Bible has been dismissed as simplistic and archaic, a literal retelling of the creation of the world in seven days, the story of Adam and Eve, and generational listings. Suares's essential argument is that the words in Genesis cannot simply be translated; one must understand the code, or the true meaning behind the words remains hidden. Each letter of the Hebrew alphabet represents a specific number, which signifies the living archetypal forces moving within the universe. Reading Genesis with knowledge of the code can project these forces into our very being and bring about the experience of Revelation. Among Suares's key points are the evident ramifications of the hidden teachings on parts of the New Testament. It is from this perspective that he interprets the Gospels of Matthew and John in a new and thought-provoking way. Suares unlocks the secrets of the Bible to reveal the ultimate aim of higher consciousness through the coded process of Revelation.

CLEOPATRA TO CHRIST/SCOTA
Jesus was the Great Grandson of Cleopatra/ Egyptian Queen of the Scots
Ralph Ellis

Book One: Cleopatra to Christ.
A Reconstruction of Jesus' roots and family history. The Bible says that the infant Jesus was visited by the Magi of the East, and that he was educated in Egypt. Seeming to be of royal blood, he was crowned King of the Jews. The inference from these sparse facts is that Jesus was probably of both Egyptian and Persian royal blood, but that he was exiled to Judaea in about 4 AD. In fact, there was a royal family in the early first century AD that fits all the requirements to produce this scion, though only known about for hundreds of years.

Book 2: Scota: Egyptian Queen of the Scots.
Six hundred years ago, Walter Bower set out to record the known history of the Irish and Scottish people. Drawing on records from the first millennium AD, the astounding account he wrote maintained that the Irish and Scottish people were descended from Queen Scota, who was an Egyptian princess. It is from Scota and her husband Gaythelos that the names for the Scottish and Gaelic people were derived. It has generally been assumed that this account is mythological; however, Ellis has amassed sufficient evidence to demonstrate that it is true history, and that the Irish and Scots people were descended from a daughter of Pharaoh Akhenaton. Includes 12-page color section.

CULT OF THE BLACK VIRGIN

Ean Begg

There are many icons of Mary that show black faces and hands. In France these are called Vierge Noires Black Virgins. Elsewhere they may be called Black Madonnas or the other Mary. Jung called her Isis while others claim she is the symbolic remains of a prehistoric worship of the Earth Mother. She is generally connected with Cybele Diana Isis and Venus as well as with Kali Inanna and Lilith. Historically she is connected with the Crusades the Islamic occupation of Spain the Conquistadors as well as the Merovingians and Knights Templars who viewed her as Mary Magdalene. Why are more than five hundred of the world's Madonna images black or dark? Why is so little known about them? Black Virgins a resurfacing of the powerful pagan goddesses of sexuality the underworld and earth wisdom are symbols of power and majesty the other side of the traditional Madonna's virginity or tender maternity. They personify the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant in a quest for lost feminine wisdom and the search for soul.

CUSTODIANS OF TRUTH
The Continuance of Rex Deus
Marilyn Hopkins and TIm Wallace-Murphy

A curious thing happened to Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins when they published Rex Deus, their first book on the bloodline of Christ: they were contacted by a man from the very lineage they were studying. And instead of denying the existence of the bloodline or berating them for revealing secrets, he actually confirmed that the Rex Deus lineage exists and even disclosed some of its fundamental secrets.

The story of the Rex Deus families, direct descendents of Christ--who is believed to have survived the crucifixion?turns out to be much more extensive than the authors first thought. Instead of beginning during the time of Jesus, it stretches far back into antiquity, to the Egyptian Mystery Schools. Instead of being only a propagation of the holy bloodline, the Rex Deus families are also carriers of the secret teachings of Jesus.

Custodians of Truth reveals the purpose and secrets of the Rex Deus lineage. Jesus was not only a holy man, but an adept of ancient knowledge, which informed his own teachings. This secret knowledge was suppressed by the Church in their voracious quest for power and influence in the secular world. These teachings have manifested throughout history in different forms--Gnostic philosophy around the time of Jesus, the Order of the Knights Templar, Freemasons, and the current resurgence of interest in New Age thought. Finally, the time is right for the hidden message of Jesus to be revealed--a message of tolerance, brotherhood, and respect for nature.

The next chapter in the legend of the Holy Grail and the bloodline of Christ-from the best-selling authors of Rosslyn.

EDEN IN EGYPT
Adam and Eve Were Pharaoh Akhenaton and Queen Nefertiti
Ralph Ellis

The Bible says that a river flowed through the Garden of Eden and then split into four branches. There is only one river in the Near East that does exactly this, and that is the long oasis-garden of the Nile valley and its division into the (originally) four branches of the Nile Delta. This observation takes Ralph into the depths of the Genesis account, and it would seem that Adam and Eve were actually Akhenaton and Nefertiti; and so the Genesis story is actually a distillation of Akhenaton's Hymn to the Aten. Thus the Garden of Eden was originally the Garden of Aten (Akhenaton's god), and it resided at Amarna in Middle Egypt. The book also demonstrates that Hebrew is a direct descendant of the ancient Egyptian language, and that the Bible was written in Egyptian. This allows us to see that much of the Old Testament was based upon very ancient Egyptian law, stories and morality-tales.
