Apuleius of Madaura (HE Butler ; AS Owen   (Edited by)
Discourse on Magic (Apulei Apologia Sive pro se de Magia Liber)
Georg Olms 1983  428 pages   Hardback    ISBN 3487014637 Fine. This volume presents the Latin text (untranslated), but with an extensive introduction and commentary in English. Written to acquit himself of the charge of magic, this work is one of the most detailed acounts of magical practice from the ancient world: the extensive commentary makes it a desideratum for anybody seriously interested in ancient magic. "Born in Madaura in Africa around 125 CE, Apuleius was a teacher en route to Alexandria in 156 CE, when he met an ex-pupil at Oea and was persuaded by this young man to stay and to marry his mother, Pudentilla, in order to protect her fortune. Other family members objected, accusing Apuleius of using magic to entrap Pudentilla. The Apologia is his defence, a digressive and colourful argument employing great erudition in rebutting the charge of magic-making. This is a full critical edition of the text, with introduction and commentary (in English)." Facsimile reprint. No jacket.

Written in a third-person narrative, the author describes his discovery of the first three so-called "Gates of Dreaming", his attempts to use Dreaming for Divination, his perception of "inorganic beings" both in-Dreaming, and in the "waking world", his interaction with these beings, and his ceaseless struggle to break free of their hold. The book ends with the author attaining the so-called "4th Gate of Dreaming". A fascinating, sometimes horrific and shocking, but ultimately uplifting account by a Toltec practitioner of nearly 30 years standing."

Ancient Egyptian cosmology, anthropology, rituals, and religion--closely linked to Greek mythology--are also discussed.: "In a world that remains governed by powerful myths, we must deepen our understanding of ourselves and others by considering more carefully the ways in which the mythological systems to which we cling and social institutions and movements to which we are committed nourish each other. Yves Bonnefoy’s Mythologies not only summarizes the progress that has already been made toward this end, but also lays the foundation for the difficult work that lies ahead."--Mark C.

Creation of the Sacred: Tracks of Biology in Early Religions
Harvard University Press, January 13, 1998, Paperback, 8.8 x 6 x 0.6 inches, pp 272 FINE. From Library Journal: Like earlier works (e.g., Greek Religion (LJ 9/1/85) from the well-respected Burkert, this book uses ancient religions to learn more about what is fundamental in all religions today, but it also looks at animal behavior as a potential signpost as to why human religion is structured as it is and why it is common to all human development. Burkert postulates that basic animal instincts may underlie sacrifice, rituals of hierarchy, the idea of guilt, and even gift exchange. He does not say that the religions that developed were preordained in a Kantian sense but that they were likely outcomes of biological tendencies.

John Bremer
Thomas Taylor the Platonist and James Mill, Utilitarian
Privately Printed 2003. PB. Vi + 179 pp. New - only available through us. Limited edition of 100 numbered copies, signed by the author. --Thomas Taylor the Platonist earned his title by a lifelong devotion to translating the works of Plato and the Neoplatonists. In 1804 he published his “Complete Works of Plato” in five volumes, most of the dialogues being in English for the first time.  The times were not propitious for Platonic studies, and Taylor’s reception was not made more favourable by his other title, the Pagan, accorded him for his expressed belief in the ancient religion and his conviction that Christianity was full of impieties. Taking advantage of this hostile climate, James Mill wrote a devastating criticism for the “Edinburgh Review.”  Here the full story of that passage-at-arms is told for the first time, centering on the complete text of Mill’s review, fully annotated to make clear the intellectual background of Taylor’s work and of Mill’s limited utilitarian critique. A brief but fascinating biography of Thomas Taylor, who was born (1758) and died (1835) with Halley’s Comet, puts his translations into a historical context and displays both the difficulties under which he worked and the steadfastness of his commitment. The full text of his “The Platonic Philosopher’s Creed” outlines the principles in terms of which he worked, and his understanding of Plato’s philosophy.   Accompanying this is a biography of James Mill whose personal ambition and narrow, if powerful, intellect made it impossible for him to treat Taylor’s achievement with moral or intellectual impartiality. His biography is illuminated by select passages from his dutiful but unloving son, John Stuart Mill.  The role of the “Edinburgh Review” in the intellectual life of the age is succinctly described, and a select bibliography and a chronology rounds out this penetrating account. Four passages from Plato’s Republic and Phaedrus in Taylor’s translation are given with some modern versions for the purpose of comparison.

This book will certainly become a staple of all classical libraries for years to come."--Bryn Mawr Classical Review: Early Greek Myth is a much-needed handbook for scholars and others interested in the literary and artistic sources of archaic Greek myths--and the only one of its kind available in English.

Idel, author of more than 25 works on this subject, analyzes in detail two major streamsecstatic or anthropocentric Kabbalah and theosophical-theurgical or theocentric Kabbalah also showing how they have intertwined. Using manuscripts and esoteric medieval and early modern works, he examines mystical experience through such factors as total union with God and such techniques of mysticism as the visualization of colors and prayer. The technical nature of this important work and the absence of a glossary of Hebrew terms restricts its use to subject collections.

Cellular Wisdom: Decoding the Body’s Secret Language
Celestial Arts. March 2004. Hardcover. 9.3 x 6.4 x 1 inches. Pp240. Fine/fine. Book Description: "After more than 20 years of working in a research lab, neuroscientist Joan C. King began to see her surroundings as much more than a temple of science-she discovered that they are a temple of the human spirit as well. She realized that the physiological processes of the body-the interactions within and between individual cells, organs, and systems-had significance beyond human physiology. Fundamental human truths are written in our cells, outlined in the interactions between our body’s organs and organ systems. Just as a single human cell is orchestrated from a nucleus at its center, each of us has a blueprint at the heart of our being; when we make decisions that are in line with this purpose, we feel vital and fulfilled. Or take the fact that only when cells connect with other cells do they fulfill their potential; we humans achieve our grandest purposes in relationship with others. CELLULAR WISDOM shows us how to interpret the truths that our bodies teach and how to use them as lessons to live a more exuberant and harmonious life.

A high-quality work on modern witchcraft, becoming scarce. Book Description: Robin Skelton sets out to prove that "spell-making is a skill and can be learned by anyone with sufficient psychic energy and powers of concentration." From the author of Practice of Witchcraft and Magical Practice of Talismans, learn the ancient craft of common magic, which has no connection to witchcraft or the black arts. Verbal magic, a form of wishing or transmittal of intuitive messages, is as old as language itself and as powerful as the deepest forces of the human psyche.

Crowley, Aleister
The Equinox of the Gods. Vol. III, No. 3 [vol iii, no iii] The Book of the Law
O.T.O., 1936, FIRST EDITION. V + 138 pp. In its original binding with the accompanying reproduction of the sheets of Crowley’s handwritten Liber AL, The Book of the Law, in their own original folder and slip binding (within the main binding). Quarto. The whole is luxuriously printed, and bound in its original cream buckram, the finest bookbinder’s cloth. This is probably the most sought-after of Crowley’s works. He details his biography, along with the circumstances and reception of the Book of the Law. This copy has been the object of much loving handling during its seventy-odd years. It has also seen some ritual use. Accordingly, the binding is somewhat grubby, and the front hinge detached from the pages and half from the binding. Other signs of wear are fairly minimal, considering the age and provenance. All in all, a delightful copy of this extremely scarce work, which somehow has much more character and presence than a pristine copy would. For sale to a good home only. (tim)

The Goddess Hekate (Hecate)
(1992) 162 pages. Hardback with dustjacket. New, but not generally available, book.. This is the most comprehensive book on Hekate available. The best of earlier studies on her in English are included here, along with a detailed exploration of her important role as the chief Goddess of the last ancient Pagans, where she appeared in the Chaldean Oracles as Cosmic Soul, bestowing life and vital energy throughout the universe. The earlier studies investigate Hekate’s cult in ancient Greece; magical Hekate; the offerings made to Hekate at the crossroads; and Hekate as leader of her demonic horde. The book also includes translations, some into English for the first time, of a choice selection of ancient hymns to Hekate which vividly bring to life what she meant to her worshippers.

Taylor,Thomas (1758-1835)
Hymns and Initiations
(1994)[A20] 320pp, HB. Fine. Out-of-print. This volume reprints the 1824 edition of Taylor’s Mystical Hymns of Orpheus, which gives the 87 hymns together with a dissertation on the life and theology of Orpheus and extensive additional notes “replete with the translator’s insights into the Orders of the Gods.” The essay which accompanied the first (1787) edition, which is substantially different from the second, is given as an appendix. Also included are all the published hymns Taylor translated or composed himself. Thomas Taylor (1758-1835) the ‘English Platonist,’ was the indefatigable translator of Plato, Aristotle, and the Neoplatonists into English. His work remains of great value, not only for its marked influence on the Romantics and various mystical writers (e.g. Shelley, Wordsworth, Blake, Emerson), but also for Taylor’s profound empathy and understanding of the Pagan religious background of Neoplatonism. The fact that Taylor’s translations are, in many cases, still the only ones ensures the continuing relevance of his work.

Far more than a defense of vegetarianism, this work is a significant resource for Pagan religious symbolism. (2) Auxiliaries to the Perception of Intelligible Natures (i.e. the Sententiae) 44 aphoristic formulations, mostly based on Plotinus. (3) Concerning Homer’s Cave of the Nymphs is Porphyry’s fine allegorical essay upon the Cave of the Nymphs in the Odyssey Book XIII. Thomas Taylor (1758-1835) the ‘English Platonist,’ was the indefatigable translator of Plato, Aristotle, and the Neoplatonists into English.

Taylor,Thomas (1758-1835)- Plotinus of Lycopolis (c. 204-270 ad)
The Collected Writings of Plotinus
(1994)[A20] 490pp, HB . New, but not generally available, book.. Collected together for the first time here are all the known translations (there were more than 20 of these) that Thomas Taylor made of Plotinus’ Enneads. Plotinus is, of course, generally viewed as the founder of Neoplatonism—although if we had more of Numenius, the picture might look a little different. Undoubtedly, an understanding of the great Plotinus is necessary to appreciate any of the subsequent religious and mystical philosophy of the West. This edition includes Taylor’s lengthy introductions and additional notes.-Thomas Taylor (1758-1835) the ‘English Platonist,’ was the indefatigable translator of Plato, Aristotle, and the Neoplatonists into English. His work remains of great value, not only for its marked influence on the Romantics and various mystical writers (e.g. Shelley, Wordsworth, Blake, Emerson), but also for Taylor’s profound empathy and understanding of the Pagan religious background of Neoplatonism.

The Dissertations of Maximus Tyrius
(1994)[A20] 310pp, HB . New, but not generally available, book.. Maximus of Tyre (c. 125-85 ad) was a Middle Platonist. His philosophy, delivered in the form of popular lectures, is very readable, but philosophically unoriginal; yet it is precisely this which makes it an excellent introduction to the ideas and assumptions that much of the religion and philosophy of the period took for granted.--Thomas Taylor (1758-1835) the ‘English Platonist,’ was the indefatigable translator of Plato, Aristotle, and the Neoplatonists into English. His work remains of great value, not only for its marked influence on the Romantics and various mystical writers (e.g. Shelley, Wordsworth, Blake, Emerson), but also for Taylor’s profound empathy and understanding of the Pagan religious background of Neoplatonism.
