The New Hermetics is a powerful spiritual technology of the mind. It is a course of study and practice that teaches the science of illumination and the ability to alter reality. The ancient Egyptian form of Hermetic philosophy was that the mind shapes reality. The New Hermetics extends that philosophy - the universe is a great mind or consciousness, and we are a part of that consciousness; therefore by learning to control the mind, we learn to control our part of the universe. With updated versions of the ancient Rosicrucian brotherhood's 10 levels of initiation, combined with ancient and modern mind-expanding techniques such as visualization and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), The New Hermetics progressively gives initiates power over their minds and world. Practicing these elements simultaneously makes it possible to undergo initiation into the mysteries of consciousness in a fraction of the time it was ever before possible. The course offered in the book lets practitioners master their minds in such a way that they will be able to achieve anything and everything they want in life, spiritually and physically. The New Hermetics offers 10 levels of instruction to control the mind and control reality: Level 1-The Initiate teaches mastery over behavior and visualization in the Ether. Level 2-The Zealot bestows mastery over emotions, breathing, and Etheric energy. Level 3-The Practitioner gives mastery over mind, beliefs, and the ability to project Etheric energy. Level 4-The Philosopher masters creativity,values, and the ability to direct Etheric energy. Level 5-The Adept develops relationship with cosmic consciousness. Level 6-The Advanced Adept offers the power to direct the forces of cosmic consciousness. Level 7-The Perfect Adept gives wisdom and the ability to share these forces with others. Level 8-The Master bestows mastery of cosmic consciousness. Level 9-The Mage gains mastery of universal power. Level 10-The Ultimate Master obtains mastery over the universal self. The New Hermetics is a powerful course of instruction that can help anyone master themselves to rule their world.

Although there are a few books on Thelema in print, they are mostly by Crowley himself. Some have said it is time for a contemporary to write on Thelema. To those, Da'Neos has answered. For him, the story did not end in 1947, and he represents the forefront of the new Thelemic movement. Da'Neos is that first brave soul who dares write where others keep silent. He is anything but timid or apologetic. Although he looks at Thelema in light of the 21st century, he stays true to the original ideas of Crowley . Da'Neos writes about how he came to write this book, in spiritual terms. He describes how he came to dedicate himself to a spiritual life, and the various systems of belief that he examined and lived through before coming to Thelema. It is a story of becoming, including the ramifications for holding certain ideas. He is the first Thelemic author to fully write about the Three Aeons, a subject that has been left in pitiful shape for many years. Da'Neos examines the current of spiritual development that has advanced through history, and how this spiritual current has been materialized through exoteric belief systems. Da'Neos describes what "conversation with the Holy Guardian Angel" is truly like. Even Crowley himself only hints at it. He describes, in a gripping narrative, of how he came to find his True Self, and the results of that finding. This is only a small sampling of the many areas Da'Neos covers. He goes on to write in detail on Thelemic ritual, the entire development of the Kabbala, examinations of the true force behind Christianity, and much more.

Liber AL vel Legis, published with the original intent of the Astron Argon; along with a thorough study of the manuscript and essays on the book.

This is a history of 19th-century occultism and the Western Mystery Tradition, focusing on the mysterious Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, which the authors trace from its mysterious beginnings to its equally mysterious disappearance in the early 1900s. Explanatory notes and a general introduction to the order and its history are included, as is a transcription of the secret teachings and 50 primary documents that trace the brotherhood's known history.

The Starry Gnosis describes the "Lesser Mysteries" of the Western Mystery Tradition and shows not only how Thelema has brought the ancient skies into the modern era, but also how Washington, DC formulates the prophesied 'third temple'-as Rome was the second and Egypt was the first. The story writing by the ancients into the zodiac has been the source of prophecy for aeons and even the aeons of time are measured by this prophecy. Altogether this summarizes the mythos of the world that is now coming into being.

Portal of the King's Daughter is a journey through encoded Mysteries and Sacred Geometry, including the tesseract, while exploring an ancient Greek Formula, seen by the Pythagorean Androcydes as philosophical symbols, which are unfolded through the study of Heidegger and others, on a course of self-discovery. Then using the gates of the Sepher Yetzirah, fourth dimensional symbols from the Pythagorean Tradition in Freemasonry, 15 Rosicrucian plates, as well as guidance from Thelemic Libers, one is offered a doorway for exploration, with the end result of seeking to merge with one's Holy Guardian Angel and becoming its messenger.

This book is about exploring ourselves through the 10 vessels (X Vasa), which is knowing each part of ourselves by way of exploring the symbolism of the Tree of Life and the 50 Gates as a map to navigate our inner self. I invite you to accompany me on this journey, where we will approach the 50 Gates in 2 ways, one as a Gnostic Dialogue, and the other as a meditation on the "Operation of Shekinah," where Shekinah as the daughter guides us up the tree, first walking through the doorway of Tau and upward to the 49th gate to the mother, to Babalon, where we will stop and regard the 50th in silence. Along the way, we'll be looking at writings and rituals from Aleister Crowley to find our starting point.

This grimoire is to be lived, not merely read.

So few ideas in Thelema originate from the minds of women that the techniques and practices are geared toward men. The purpose of this workbook is to introduce those same practices from a female perspective in order to offer both a foundation and the inspiration from which to build upon, so that new voices can break new ground and take it all to the next level, with new visions being shaped by the next generations. Explore various practices and rites, including the 7th, 8th and 9th degrees, to hopefully keep inspired to stay dedicated to the Great Work.

A work centering on the sacred invocations and adorations of HAPVSENEB, with an imagined dialogue created by Soror Syrinx, in a project celebrating our Lady Babalon. May it inspire others to embark on their own inner "dialogue."

The Scarlet Grimoire weaves a modern take on Greco-Egyptian magick for practitioners of wiccan and/or Thelema. After falling in love with the Egyptian Book of the Dead and The Leyden Papyrus, I sought to reimagine new life from them through creative writing and designing rituals, and this book arose from my earliest book in the 1990's, as a personal record of this time period.
