Book Description
The seven gods of Order had ruled unchallenged for centuries, served by the adepts of the Circle in their bleak northern castle on the Star Peninsula. But for Tarod-the most enigmatic and formidable sorcerer in Circle's ranks-a darker affinity had begun to call. Threatening his beliefs, even his sanity, it rose unbidden from beyond time; an ancient and deadly adversary that could plunge the world into madness and chaos-and whose power might rival that of the gods themselves. And though Tarod's mind and heart were pledged to Order, his soul was another matter...

Book Description
A SECRET ORDER OF SORCERERS RULES THE WORLD. ONE MAN HAS VOWED TO DESTROY THEM. It's their world. He's going to take it away from them. The Apkallu are masters of magic. Theirs is a secret tradition stretching back to the dawn of civilization. They rule the world from the shadows, using mind control and deadly monsters to eliminate any threat to their power. If they know your name, or have a trace of your blood, you can never defy them. Sam Arquero lost his family to a demon, and knew that nobody would believe the truth. An old man named Lucas offers him the chance to find out who is responsible, and bring down the Apkallu forever. All he has to do is join them . . . Under a new identity Sam learns the secrets of magic, infiltrates the Apkallu, and walks a razor's edge as he picks off their leaders while avoiding supernatural detectives on his trail. But Sam faces a greater threat: As he fights monsters, what is he becoming? At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Book Description
The Initiate presents the unfolding story of the fascinating and mysterious personality known as Justin Moreward Haig. The story is of absorbing interest to students of the spiritual path because they learn that Mahatmas and Masters do not live in seclusion, nor are they necessarily wellknown teachers and authorities. The spiritual path can be found by people of diverse nationalities and races. Here we learn the veiled history of an Adept who lived and worked within his community, hiding his true identity for the convincing reason discussed in this book. Also included are excerpts from the discourse of the author’s Master, in which some of the most profound truths are stated in an original and compelling manner.

Book Description
The eminent poet and scholar Kathleen Raine, leading exponent of "the learning of the imagination," brings together all her essays on Yeats (some never before printed) covering many aspects of the traditions and influences that informed his great poetry. In saluting Raine's "magnificent achievement in this rich and learned book," Professor Augustine Martin of University College Dublin states that she "irradiates [Yeats] and every corner of his work. Her unique and unanswerable contribution to Yeatsian criticism is to establish his authority as an immensely learned poet and thinker in the tradition of Plato and the Eternal Philosophy." Contains over 140 illustrations.

Book Description
Suffering a midlife crisis, Daniel Bloom is on the verge of bankruptcy, miserable in his work, and a single parent in a dead-end relationship. One day, Daniel decides to abandon his usual commute and follow a small white sign with hand-printed letters stating "guru this way." A crude arrow leads him up a hill where he finds a guru like no other. Daniel's initiation into a mystery school changes the direction of his life as he encounters a world he never knew existed, one of ceremony, magick, divination, and psychism. His logical mind strains to reject the new world while he experiences joy, sorrow, love, rejection, blind obedience, and rebelliousness. Yet while seeking the meaning of life under the auspices of his newfound guru, Daniel discovers a reality he cannot deny. Daniel gains insight from each experience set up by his teacher and eventually finds joy and true love on his spiritual path by holding fast to what is most important in life.

Book Description
This book traces the author's journey of ascension through the seven levels of initiation, through the process of anchoring and activating his fifty chakras, expanding to a 99-percent light quotient, then on to anchoring and fully activating all twelve bodies, which include the five higher bodies. Exactly how this is done is shared, and in-depth information is given on the workings of the inner-plane ashram under the guidance of Djwhal Khul, Lord Maitreya and Lord Melchizedek. You are invited to journey with him as he unfolds the process of his initiations, beginning at the sixth, moving through the equivalent of the tenth intiation and into the beginning of the eleventh. Written as a personal log, this book shares, in an open and candid manner, dreams, meditations, conversations with the masters, spiritual background, thoughts and reflections and actual ascension experiences.
