Aradia – Gospel Of The Witches

Publiziert am 20. September 2017 von Jazzybee

Aradia – Gospel Of The Witches – Charles Godfrey Leland

Indefatigable in research, Mr. Leland collects from the mouths of Italian peasants all the information still surviving concerning witches and their rites. Much of this he incorporated in his previous writings, and much more-some of it, we are glad to think, on the point of appearance-has yet to see the light. It is difficult to over-estimate the interest of these survivals in Italy of pagan faith and rite, and it is eminently desirable that so much of them as possible should be preserved. They are on the verge of disappearance, and what is not now reclaimed will inevitably perish. On this point Mr. Leland insists. There are still, however, some … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Book of Tea

Publiziert am 19. September 2017 von Jazzybee

The Book of Tea – Kakuzo Okakura

The ’Book of Tea’ is nothing less than an absolutely correct interpretation of Japanese life. Mr. Okakura came to the United States as a special commissioner of the Japanese Government to examine into American art. He has made a really careful study of this subject. What he has to say about Japan is not only well said but worth saying.

Bible Mystery And Bible Meaning – Thomas Troward

This book, the first edition of which was exhausted in no time, is one of the few treatises on the Bible which turns all mystery into the illumination of clear understanding.

The Cloud Of Unknowing

Publiziert am 15. September 2017 von Jazzybee

The Cloud Of Unknowing – Evelyn Underhill

The Cloud of Unknowing is an anonymous work of Christian mysticism originating in the latter half of the 14th century. The text is a spiritual guide on contemplative prayer in the late Middle Ages. The mystical scripture draws on the tradition of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and Christian Neoplatonism, which focuses on the via negativa road to discovering God as a pure entity, beyond any capacity of mental conception and so without any definitive image or form.

The Hidden Life in Freemasonry

Publiziert am 15. September 2017 von Jazzybee

The Hidden Life in Freemasonry – C. W. Leadbeater

The Masonic fellowship differs from all other societies in that candidates for membership have to join it blindfold, and cannot receive much information about it until they actually enter its ranks. Even then the majority of Masons usually obtain only the most general idea of the meaning of its ceremonies, and seldom penetrate further than an elementary moral interpretation of its principal symbols. In this book it is the object, while preserving due secrecy upon those matters which must be kept secret, to explain something of the deeper meaning and purpose of Freemasonry, in the hope of arousing among the Brn. a more profound reverence for that of which they are … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
