The Apocryphon, or "Secrets" of John forms the cornerstone of Gnostic mythology and cosmology. In this text we are introduced to the major entities of creation and lordship. We learn how the universe, including earth and man, came into being. The origin of evil, the creator god, and the material world are explained in detail. The story seems to be a mixture of various belief systems, including those of Plato, who seems to have borrowed freely from the format of Greek mythology, and Christianity. The story is loosely based on Genesis chapters one through 13 as a timeline.

The Kebra Nagast stands as one of the most revered and spiritually potent works in the Christian world—a foundational text of Ethiopian identity and a testament to a lineage believed to descend from the union of King Solomon of Israel and Makeda, the Queen of Sheba. More than a historical chronicle, it is a sacred epic, preserved through centuries by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, weaving together divine providence, royal authority, and the unfolding destiny of a nation chosen to safeguard one of the holiest treasures of antiquity.

The Book of the Bee is one of the most remarkable theological and historiographical works to survive from the medieval Church of the East. Written around 1222 by Solomon of Akhlat, Bishop of Basra, this Syriac masterpiece gathers centuries of inherited tradition, scriptural interpretation, apocryphal memory, and ecclesiastical history into a single, luminous volume. Drawing from ancient teachers, biblical commentary, and the living oral tradition of his Church, Solomon offers a work at once devotional, instructional, and cosmic in scope.

The Gospel of Thomas has been a flame of enlightenment in the world for almost 2,000 years. Once, almost extinguished, it has returned to us in ways most have never imagined. Today, the Gospel of Thomas leads us both spiritually and psychologically. In this work we will delve deeply into the spiritual and psychological meaning and application of each verse. We will gain a profound understanding of our nature and we will see how Gnosticism has influenced the development of modern psychology, under the hand of Carl G. Jung.

In early Christianity, a diverse body of texts emerged alongside the canonical scriptures, many of which aimed to fill in gaps left by the New Testament narratives. Among these apocryphal works, the Gospel of Nicodemus, which includes the Acts of Pilate and the account of the Harrowing of Hell, stands out for its rich portrayal of the events surrounding Christ's trial, crucifixion, and descent into Hell. These texts, though non-canonical, offer a unique glimpse into early Christian beliefs and the theological debates that shaped the development of the faith.

The Mystic Will explores one of the most startling and transformative propositions in modern psychological mysticism: that every mental and cerebral faculty can be trained, strengthened, and directed through scientific, practical methods to produce effects once dismissed as miraculous. In this work, Charles Godfrey Leland distills years of study, experiment, and personal experience into a concise system for awakening the latent power of the Will—revealing that the mind, when rightly guided, possesses capabilities far beyond what most people ever imagine.

The search for wisdom has been the pole-star of humanity for 6,000 years. Religions have come and gone, philosophies have failed, but those surviving wells of wisdom go deep and yield sweet refreshment for the soul. Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Zen, and Eastern Christian writings have served as pathways to peace and enlightenment, but the path is not easily traveled. Wisdom is a harsh master, demanding authenticity and truth. No self-delusion or protection will be tolerated. The seeker must be spiritually eviscerated. Mind and soul must be laid bare.

And the companion (Consort) was Mary of Magdala (Mary Magdalene). The Lord loved Mary more than all the other disciples and he kissed her often on her mouth (the text is missing here and the word "mouth" is assumed). The others saw his love for Mary and asked him: "Why do you love her more than all of us?" The Savior replied, "Why do I not love you in the same way I love her?" (The Gospel of Philip)

Originally published in 1926, The Russell Genero-Radiative Concept is a concise and provocative exposition of Walter Russell’s cyclic theory of continuous motion. In this rare work, Russell outlines a universe governed not by linear mechanics, but by rhythmic balance—where all matter, energy, and motion arise from the interplay of generative and radiative forces.

This is lavish production with audio effects to enhance your experience. From the caves of Qumran came a scroll given the name, "The Book of Giants." It is thought to have been based on The Book of Enoch, a pseudepigraphical Jewish work from the 3rd century BCE, which was based on Genesis 6:1-4. The Book of Giants, like The Book of Enoch, concerns itself with the Nephilim, which, in the Enoch version, are the offspring of human women and fallen angels, who are called the Watchers

In the winter of 1886-87, a French archaeological team headed by M. Grébant was digging in Akhmîm in Upper Egypt. The team was excavating part of the grounds of an ancient monastery, where monks, priests, bishops, and holy men were interred.

First published in 1928, Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages stands as one of the most comprehensive studies of symbolic philosophy ever produced. Written while Hall was still in his early twenties and largely self-educated, the work reflects a remarkable synthesis of sources and traditions that would later earn him recognition as an honorary 33rd-degree Freemason. This audiobook presents a complete modern rendering of that work, prepared for sustained listening and careful study.

Aradia remains one of the most influential and mysterious works ever written on la vecchia religione, the Old Religion of pre-Christian Italy. In this seminal text, folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland preserves the mythic narrative, ritual language, and liturgical practices of a tradition in which Diana is the primordial Goddess and Aradia (Herodias) is her incarnate daughter, teacher, and liberator. Witchcraft here is not superstition but a sacred inheritance, carried by the marginalized and kept alive through an unbroken thread of devotion.
