The widely accepted story of the founding of America is that The Mayflower delivered the first settlers from Plymouth to the New World in 1620. Yet in reality, the Jamestown settlers had already become the first English-speaking outpost thirteen years earlier in 1607. The Secret Founding of America introduces these two groups of founders - the Planting Fathers, who established the earliest settlements along essentially Christian lines, and the Founding Fathers, who unified the colonies with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution - and it argues that the new nation, conceived in liberty, was the Freemasons' first step towards a new world order. Drawing on original findings and an in-depth understanding of the political and philosophical realities of the time, historian Nicholas Hagger charts the connections between Gosnold and Smith, Templars and Jacobites, and secret societies and libertarian ideals. He also explains how the influence of German Illuminati worked on the constructors of the new republic, and shows the hand of Freemasonry at work at every turning point in America's history, from Civil War to today's global struggles for democracy.

The Kybalion  is a book originally published in 1908 by "Three Initiates" (often identified as the New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson, 1862–1932) that purports to convey the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus.While it shares with ancient and medieval Hermetic texts a number of traits such as philosophical mentalism, the concept of 'as above, so below', and the idea that everything consists of gendered polar opposites, as a whole it is more indebted to the ideas of modern occultist authors, especially those of the New Thought movement to which Atkinson belonged. A modern Hermetic tract, it has been widely influential in New Age circles since the twentieth century.  Read more

First published by the Yogi Publication Society in 1908, "The Kybalion" is a summary of hermetic philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece (a philosophy named for Hermes Trismegistus) by the Three Initiates. There are seven seed truths contained in "The Kybalion", the Seven Principles of Nature (mentalism, correspondence, vibration, polarity, rhythm, gender, and cause and affect), and these principles explain what Hermetists describe as the art of Mental Transmutation. This may sound like magic, but the hermetic teachings in "The Kybalion" are actually scientific. Most people don’t realize that a set of Universal Laws that apply to all created things even exists. That is what hermetic philosophy is: an explanation of the universal, fundamental principles that determine how reality works. By adopting and mastering these Kybalion principles, you can tap into the divine power of the universe."The Kybalion" is one of the more “out there” books you’ll ever come across. In fact, it’s so arcane that the authors aren’t even identified by name. They’re just called the Three Initiates. This is all intentional. One of the first concepts you’ll be introduced to when you begin to read it is the idea that the book has actually come to your attention by design. Only those who are ready for the wisdom conveyed in the book ever discover it. As such, the book is full of arcane teachings in the strict sense, in that they are mysterious and known by few.

A tireless worker for the Light, Franz Bardon left behind him four legendary books which have become acknowledged classics of occult literature. The Practice of Magical Evocation is the second work in Bardon’s opus, and thoroughly unique. In magical terms, the book is a practical guide to the proper evocation of and communication with spiritual, magical and divine entitles. It is perhaps the only truly significant modern study of direct contact with the universal teachers –– the other major works in the field are products of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation periods. The Practice of Magical Evocation is also unique in terms of its depth and complexity. Not only does it provide a powerful intellectual rationale for and explanation of the art of evocation itself, it also outlines the actual practice of the art in great detail, including instruction as to the creation of magic wands, circles, garments, and so on. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into a magical universe. Read more

In The Key to the True Kabbalah, Franz Bardon demonstrates that mysticism of letters and numbers, the true Kabbalah, is a universal teaching of great antiquity and depth. Throughout the ages, adepts of every time and place have achieved the highest levels of magical attainment through the understanding of sound, color, number and vibration as embodied in the Kabbalah. This book, the third in Franz Bardon’s remarkable text of Hermetic magic, is nothing less than a practical guide to such attainment. Using the common German alphabet, Bardon guides the reader through ever greater levels of Kabbalistic achievement. No other available text reveals as great a depth of Kabbalistic wisdom or provides the reader with as much practical training. Though intended primarily as a working text for those who have completed Bardon’s first and second volumes, Initiation into Hermetics and The Practice of Magical Evocation, the present work stands on its own, and even those without the requisite background in practical Hermetics will be fascinated by the author’s intellectual journey through the mysticism of Tantric India, Tibet, the Hebrew Kabbalah, and the ancient sources of the Western magical tradition.

WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON(writing as MAGUS INCOGNITO)THE SECRET DOCTRINE OF THE ROSICRUCIANS"What is known as "The Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians" is an extensive body of esoteric teaching and occult lore which has been transmitted from Master to Student, from Hierophant to the new Initiate, for countless generations. Seldom has any part of the Secret Doctrine been committed to writing, or exposed to public view on the printed page, until the present generation. Previous to that time the little that was written, or printed, concerning this body of teachings was disguised in the vague terms of alchemy and astrology, so that the same would have one meaning to the average reader and another and closer meaning to those who possessed the key to the mystery. The frequent references in the ancient books to "sulphur," "mercury," and other chemical elements, and to "The Philosopher's Stone," etc., were all intended to indicate certain portions of the teachings of the Secret Doctrine to those who already possessed the key.The Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians is believed by those best informed to have been built up gradually, carefully, and slowly, by the old occult masters and adepts, from the scattered fragments of the esoteric teachings which were treasured by the wise men of all races. The legend runs that these fragments of the Secret Doctrine were the scattered portions of the old esoteric teaching of ancient Atlantis — the bits of the great mass of the Atlantean occult teachings which were scattered in all directions by the great cataclysm which had destroyed that great continent. The few survivors of the Atlantean civilization carefully preserved these Fragments of Truth, and passed them on to their chosen students and capable descendants.The old Masters who made it the object of their lives to gather together once more these scattered fragments, and to thus reconstruct the Occult Doctrine of the Atlanteans, found a portion of their material in Egypt, in India., in Persia, in Chaldea, in Medea, in China, in Assyria, and in Ancient Greece, and also in the mystic records of the Hebrews, such as the Kaballah and the Zohar. The common source, however, may be regarded as distinctly Oriental. The great philosophies of the East, in fact, may be said to have been built upon the base of these still more ancient teachings. Moreover, the great Grecian Secret Teachings are believed to have been based upon knowledge obtained from this same common source. So, at the last, the Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians may be said to be the Secret Doctrine of Atlantis, transmitted through the descendants of the people of that great centre of occult knowledge.The Rosicrucians, according to the public encyclopaedias, and other works of reference, are held to have been devoted to the subject of Alchemy. And, indeed, this statement is correct. But the modern compilers of such reference books have fallen into the error of supposing that the Alchemy referred to was performed wholly upon the Plane of Matter — and concerned wholly with the Transmutation of Elements. They are ignorant of the fact that the Alchemy which attracted the Rosicrucians, and which took up most of their time and attention, was Mental Alchemy, and Spiritual Alchemy — something quite different indeed, though having of course a correspondence to the Material Alchemy, according to the Law of Correspondence. The student of the present book will discover this fact, and will receive many valuable hints concerning the higher forms of Alchemy, providing he is prepared to read between the lines of the text, and to reason by Analogy. The axiom "As above, so below," will be found to work out well in this connection..." Read more

This course on practical alchemy contains a series of lessons that is particularly cherished among practicioners of the Royal Art. It presents an in-depth overview of the philosophy, theory and practice of Alchemy in 5 volumes. This first volume is intended as an essential preamble to the more practical oriented lessons on Alchemy of subsequent volumes. The course was originally compiled by Jean Dubuis and distributed among members of The Philosophers of Nature, an association based in France that was active during the last quarter of the 20th Century. The complete course consists of the following: Book I: The Fundamentals of Esoteric Knowledge, Lessons 1-12 Book II: Spagyrics, Lessons 1-48 Book III: Mineral Alchemy, Lessons 1-84 Book IV: Qabalah, 1-72 Book V: Experience of Eternity Whereas the French original of these lessons has always been available for free through the Portae Lucis Association, the English version by Triad Publishing can no longer be acquired. In order to continue to provide the alchemical community with the profound legacy that The Philosophers of Nature have left us, and in honour of the charitable example set by Jean Dubuis, Inner Garden is delighted to be able to offer all students of the Art this re-edited and improved English edition.

Learn Why Many Witches and Magicians are Turning to Jesus for More Magic is an occult scroll that deals with the new magical culture that has been taking place, especially in the year 2020. If you have not noticed it yet, then know that many witches, magicians, sorcerers, and many other magical practitioners are turning to Jesus for a more meaningful magic. They are not necessarily giving up magic, but they have found — as many others have also found — that there is simply more magic if you practice it with Jesus.  Now, many people might think of this as a surprise. However, it should be noted that when Jesus was born, He was visited by the three wise men. Based on the original texts, the three wise men were magi. Interestingly, the word magi is the plural term of the word magus. If you do not know it yet, then know now that the word magic is actually derived from the word magus. Do you see it now? Jesus was visited by magical practitioners. When it comes to the magical arts, Jesus is not a stranger to it. In fact, many even consider Jesus as a great magical adept and a true master. Of course, there are also those who do not see Jesus as a magical practitioner but as the one and true Lord — which is also true. Either way, there is definitely something you can learn and gain by doing magic with Jesus.  Learn Why Many Witches and Magicians are Turning to Jesus for More Magic is not a scroll that promotes Christianity. After all, Jesus Himself never established any religion. Instead, we will take the clear and right way — which is a way to practice the craft of magic while having a good and intimate relationship with Jesus. It is also worth noting that when Jesus died on the cross for sinners, He also died for the witches and the wizards — for everyone. Yes, He suffered and died for you and me.  Indeed, the moment you tread the path of magic with Jesus, you will never be alone again. What is more, you will most probably experience that the magical journey is simply more fun and more meaningful with Jesus Christ.  Are you ready to discover why many magical practitioners are now turning to Jesus? If yes, then take my hand, and we will journey together  as we learn more about Jesus, as well as how we can have a more meaningful and powerful magic.  Read more
