History of the Waldenses

J. A. Wylie

Sinopsis

In "History of the Waldenses," J. A. Wylie meticulously chronicles the evolution of the Waldensian movement, offering a compelling narrative that intertwines history, theology, and social analysis. His literary style is characterized by a robust use of primary sources, coupled with a vivid prose that brings to life the struggles and perseverance of this often-overlooked Christian community. Wylie navigates the socio-political landscape of the Middle Ages, elucidating the trials faced by the Waldenses as they sought to maintain their faith in the face of persecution, while also connecting their story to broader ecclesiastical conflicts of the time, thus situating the Waldenses within the larger context of Christian dissent and reformist thought. J. A. Wylie, a 19th-century historian, was deeply influenced by the fervent religious revivalism of his time. Born into a tradition marked by dissent against established authority, Wylie's background imbued him with a strong empathy for marginalized groups. His scholarly pursuits in history and theology propelled him towards a passion for uncovering lesser-known narratives, particularly the resilience of the Waldenses, which he viewed as a testament to individual faith and conscience in resistance to institutional oppression. This meticulously researched volume is essential for anyone interested in ecclesiastical history, religious movements, or the dynamics of faith and persecution. Wylie's engaging narrative not only commemorates the Waldenses but also invites readers to reflect on the implications of faith, conviction, and the notion of heresy in contemporary society.

Rites of the Mummy - The K'rla...

Peter Levenda, Jeffrey D. Evans

An arcane ritual reveals a code hidden within Thelema’s most holy book. Over a period of several years, the former head of Kenneth Grant’s Typhonian Order in the United States, conducted a bizarre sexual ritual with elements of Thelema, Lovecraft, and the Egyptian mummification ceremony to unlock a mathematical code buried in plain sight in Aleister Crowley’s Book of the Law. Jeffrey Evans, a follower of Aleister Crowley’s Thelema since his teenage years, had an encounter on a bridge in Washington, DC, with a being he identified as his holy guardian angel. This being—Karla—provided him with the inspiration to begin a series of rituals incorporating Egyptian and Lovecraftian elements in an effort to traverse the Tunnels of Set: pathways on the “dark side” of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. The ritual, conducted with his wife, Ruth Keenan, employed cross-dressing and bondage as well as Cthulhian imagery and chanting, and resulted in a series of revelations concerning the mathematical code hidden within the verses of Crowley’s Book of the Law: a circumstance that Crowley always suspected but was never able to prove, not even with the help of accomplished mathematicians. Evans tried in vain to demonstrate this code to other members of the Typhonian Order, to no avail, but a chance meeting online with Peter Levenda resulted in Levenda’s taking a closer look at the data and what he discovered astounded him. He agreed to help bring this discovery to the attention of the general public. There has been very little new work published in the field of Thelema in the last 10 years or so, at least since the death of Kenneth Grant. Most publishing concerning Crowley has been biographical or reissues of Crowley’s own material. This work is a departure from all of that. It is new material, completely unexpected within the Crowley/Thelema/OTO environment, for it offers a new approach to the mathematical nature of Thelema that so far has been based on Qabalah. This work brings attention to the existence of a sacred geometry within the verses of the Book of the Law: a completely unexpected discovery but nonetheless mathematically verifiable. It bridges the gap between Thelema, Freemasonry, and Templarism, as well as Gnosticism, demonstrating a continuum of esoteric thought spanning millennia.

Isolated from the world, the village of Bormont has grown twisted. It’s wallowed in filth for centuries. 
My plane crashed in the forest. I was rescued by the local townsfolk. It was the ultimate blessing. 
Or so I thought. 
I broke their laws. They put me in a chastity cage and paraded me through the town square. It triggered something hidden deep inside me. 
The day they locked me into chastity was the day I broke. 
The men say I’m doing a good job now. I’m learning quickly and absorbing their lessons. 
I’m a good student…I’m a good student…I’m a good student…
