Baphomet Revealed - Mysteries and Magic of the Sacred Icon

Heather Lynn

Sinossi

What is Baphomet? This comprehensive and accessible history sets the record straight on a captivating icon of the occult.   “Baphomet Revealed lifts the veil covering the most enduring occult symbol of our age. Heather Lynn approaches Baphomet as a scholar who is not afraid to include hints of esoteric wisdom in her research, revealing the androgynous, horned beast not as a devil, but as a pathway to spiritual perfection.”—Travis McHenry, creator of Occult Tarot and Angel Tarot   Baphomet, often misunderstood and cloaked in misinterpretations, has left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness—standing at the crossroads of the occult, religion, and the quest for arcane knowledge. Baphomet’s origins are as elusive as their symbolic form, yet we begin our inquiry with the Templars, where the name was perhaps first uttered. We trace Baphomet’s course through history, their intersections with Gnostic thought, Freemasonry, the teachings of Aleister Crowley and Eliphas Lévi, and the myriad occult groups that have drawn upon Baphomet’s potent symbolism.  Baphomet Revealed will take readers on a journey that weaves together the threads of history, symbolism, and esoteric philosophy, unraveling the tapestry of Baphomet’s enduring mystique. This provocative entity exists simultaneously as myth, magick, and symbol. Over the years, Baphomet has been called a demon, deity, and the devil himself, but Baphomet is none of these—the figure is, in reality, a symbol—a complex cipher holding within their form the keys to profound philosophical and esoteric truths.   Author Heather Lynn draws extensively from primary sources, including historical depictions and magical seals associated with Baphomet, inviting readers to engage with the symbol directly. By melding rigorous academic inquiry with a spirit of open-minded exploration, Baphomet Revealed aims to shed new light on this shadowy figure, illuminating Baphomet’s proper place in the annals of human thought and spiritual endeavor.

Exploring Elohim's Embrace - Who...

Pete Atkinson

“This is our challenge, our invitation: to tune, to heighten, to awaken our senses to the God who is already all around us, surrounding us, hemming us in, behind and before.” 
Eroding our commonly-held and heavily-baked image of God as some kind of superhuman in the sky, ‘Exploring Elohim’s Embrace’ draws us towards the infinite trinitarian God who is three persons mutually indwelling, intimately enveloping and passionately embracing. 
The God who is Love and Light and Breath. 
Who is Beauty and Wisdom and Peace. 
Relationship, Consciousness, Joy. 
And a myriad more. 
Clear and concise and packed with Biblical references, this beautifully poetic book offers innovative and moving insight into humanity’s unending, enduring exploration into who or what and where is an invisible yet omnipresent God? 
Because, as Pete Atkinson writes in his preface: 
"It feels scary, dangerous - not to mention impossible - for the finite to attempt to describe the infinite. 
But it also feels exhilarating, liberating - not to mention necessary - to explore…"

Albert Einstein Zen Master - The...

Matthew Barnes

Albert Einstein was a Zen master?  
I think so, and I aim to prove it.  
Imagine understanding how Einstein viewed the world, the Universe, and God. What if you could have the same understanding? How could it change your own outlook on life? 
Dr. Matthew Barnes, chemist, biochemist, doctor, and bestselling author of The Emerald Tablet 101, The Hermetica 101, The Tao Te Ching 101, The Bhagavad Gita 101, and Jesus Christ, Zen Master presents his case for Einstein as being not only one of the most influential scientists of our time but also one of the most spiritual (in his own, unique way).  
In this work, you’ll discover:  
   • In what ways Einstein’s views of reality coincide with those of some of the greatest Zen masters to have ever lived, past and present.  
   • Why Einstein considered himself to be “a deeply religious nonbeliever”. 
    (Do you know what he considered himself to be instead?) 
   • Why Einstein felt his viewpoints on God to be a “somewhat new kind of religion”. 
    (Hint: It turns out that his views may not have been all that new, but really really old instead.) 
   • How you too can begin to enjoy Einstein’s view of the world, the Universe, and God.  
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” -Albert Einstein
