Baphomet Revealed - Mysteries...

Heather Lynn

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.

The Wisdom Of Carl Jung -...

Malcolm J. Austin

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
THE WISDOM OF CARL JUNG is a captivating journey into the heart of Jungian psychology, exploring the profound ideas that shaped our understanding of the human psyche. Through thirty concise yet powerful chapters, this audiobook illuminates Jung’s core concepts—archetypes, the shadow, synchronicity, dreams, symbols, mandalas, and the collective unconscious—with clarity and depth.
Rather than serving as a guide or reference manual, this work is a narrative synthesis of Jung's intellectual legacy. It begins with his early influences and dramatic break with Freud, then builds toward his groundbreaking insights into depth psychology.
Listeners will discover how archetypes like the hero, the mother, and the wise old man influence both personal and cultural life. The audiobook dives into the interplay between the persona and the shadow, unveiling their essential roles in psychological development. Dreams and synchronicities emerge as bridges between the conscious and unconscious, while symbols and mandalas become keys to inner transformation.
Beyond his better-known theories, this exploration ventures into Jung's lesser-known fascinations—alchemy, paranormal research, and Eastern spiritual traditions—revealing them as vital elements of his holistic vision of the soul.
The final chapters reflect on Jung’s enduring influence in contemporary life, from politics and art to religion and popular culture. His concept of the collective unconscious continues to shed light on modern society’s myths and struggles.
Accessible yet intellectually rigorous, this audiobook is an invitation to immerse yourself in the depth of Jungian thought. It avoids simplifications while offering a clear structure, making it indispensable for those seeking to understand Carl Jung’s profound and timeless contributions to psychology and beyond.

Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes - A...

Get this: Cronus liked to eat babies. 
 
 
 
Narcissus probably should have just learned to masturbate. 
 
 
 
Odin got construction discounts with bestiality. 
 
 
 
Ganesh was the very definition of an unplanned pregnancy. 
 
 
 
And Abraham was totally cool about stabbing his kid in the face. 
 
 
 
All our lives, we've been fed watered-down versions of the classic myths. In reality, mythology is more screwed up than a schizophrenic shaman doing hits of unidentified . . . wait, it all makes sense now. In Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes, Cory O'Brien, creator of Myths RETOLD!, sets the stories straight. These are rude, crude, totally sacred texts told the way they were meant to be told. 
 
 
 
Here are a few more gems to consider: Zeus once stuffed an unborn fetus inside his thigh to save its life after he exploded its mother by being too good in bed; the Egyptian universe was saved because Sekhmet got too hammered to keep murdering everyone; the Hindu universe is run by a married couple who only stop murdering in order to throw dance parties on the corpses of their enemies; the Norse goddess Freyja once consented to a four-dwarf gangbang in exchange; and there's more dysfunctional goodness where that came from.
