The Mystical Hymns Of Orpheus

Thomas Taylor

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz
 
TANSLATED FROM THE GREEK,AND DEMONSTRATED TO BE THE Invocations which were used in the Eleusinian Mysteries.BY THOMAS TAYLOR. Taylor frames the Orphic hymns as fragments of a primordial theology in which the gods are not personalities but cosmic powers, each hymn functioning as a precise invocation of a universal principle. His translation exposes an initiatory system built on purification, cosmic sympathy, and ascent through successive layers of divine order. The work presents the hymns as operative formulas rather than poetry—concise ritual utterances designed to attune the soul to the intelligible world, reveal the structure of the cosmos, and draw the intellect away from material delusion.

The Eagle in the Mirror

Jesse Fink

The longest serving spy for the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), Charles Howard "Dick" Ellis came to New York at the beginning of World War II as deputy to William Stephenson at British Security Coordination (BSC) and helped set up for William Donovan the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), what would eventually evolve into the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). 
 
 
 
Ellis allegedly received prior warning of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and, through the conduit of Stephenson, relayed that warning to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. After World War II, Ellis was awarded the Legion of Merit by President Harry S. Truman. 
 
 
 
But in the 1980s espionage writer Chapman Pincher and retired Security Service (MI5) intelligence officer Peter Wright posthumously accused Ellis of having operated as a "triple agent" for Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. 
 
 
 
In 1965, while under interrogation in London, Ellis had allegedly made a confession that he had supplied information to the Nazis prior to the war. However, Pincher's and Wright's accusations against Ellis have never been comprehensively proven. Was Ellis guilty or was an innocent man framed? Did he take the fall for someone else?
