In the Center of the Fire In this daring exposé by a survivor of a unique era in the New York occult scene, James Wasserman—a longtime proponent of the teachings of Aleister Crowley—brings the reader into a world of candlelit temples, burning incense and sonorous invocations. The author also shares an intimate look at the New York Underground of the 1970s and 1980s, and such avant-garde luminaries as Alejandro Jodorowsky, Harry Smith, Kenneth Anger and Angus MacLise. “A compelling portrait of a moment in time when New York City served as the heart of the modern Occult Renaissance.” —Donald Weiser, Samuel Weiser, Inc. |

Tantric Temples Tantra is one of the most misunderstood of the esoteric disciplines. In order to get a clear idea as to the nature of Tantric ritual and belief it is necessary to go where Tantra is still practiced and from where important Tantric teachings originated a thousand years ago: the island of Java in present-day Indonesia. This book illustrates the history of Tantrism in Java with more than a hundred photographs of temples, statues and iconography dedicated to the system -- some rarely seen before, including the recently-excavated "white temple" of Yogyakarta -- and accounts of contemporary practices in the shrines, cemeteries and secret schools of Java. In the process, we will learn how this esoteric philosophy has affected the everyday lives of the most populous Muslim country in the world. |

The Hermetic Link Hermes is the Greek god of the Word, of thought and magic, the swift-moving messenger of the Divine and guardian of souls in the Afterlife. In Ancient Egypt he was the majestic god Thoth, the Recorder, the lord of measurement and science, the brother/husband of Isis. In Rome, he was of course Mercury, flying through the Empyrean at the speed of idea by the aid of his winged helmet and boots. In this broad survey of the Hermetic arts, author Jacob Slavenburg brings an unparalleled depth of insight to the subject. He examines the historical Hermetic literature and details its relevance to modern occultism, from the symbolism of architecture and art to the mysteries of Freemasonry. The heavenly mysteries of astrology are explored as are the healing arts which derive from the spirit of scientific inquiry embodied by Thoth/Hermes. Slavenburg examines the magical writings of the Greek papyri and their development into the contemporary magical practices of modern adepts. |
