Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic
Filling a huge gap in our spiritual culture, here--at last--is a comprehensive and elegant translation of the 1854 French masterwork of occult philosophy. The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic reignited the esoteric spiritual search in the West and led to the emergence of Madame Blavatsky, Manly P. Hall, and the New Age revolution. L vi's study of magic is an absolute must for every seeker in occult, esoteric, and druidic realms; but this need has been frustrated by dated and inaccurate translations--until now. Greer, a respected occult scholar, and Mikituk, a masterful translator, collaborate to restore this landmark work--complete with its original illustrations and symbols--to the center of the alternative spiritual canon.

Transcendental Magic
Delve into Ancient Occult Philosophy and Mysticism French author liphas L vi (born Alphonse Louis Constant, 1810-1875), who is often referred to as 'the last magi,' defined magic as 'the traditional science of the secrets of Nature which has been transmitted to us from the Magi.' And to those who studied this arcane art came a power: 'By means of this science the adept is invested with a species of relative omnipotence and can operate superhumanly-that is, after a manner which transcends the normal possibility of men.' Transcendental Magic: Its Doctrine and Ritual is Arthur Waite's esteemed English translation of liphas L vi's original, groundbreaking exploration of ancient occult philosophy. L vi was one of the first occultists to integrate the tarot into the discipline of magi-a development that significantly influenced the field in the years that followed. Bringing to light wisdom and information that were previously restricted to secret society initiates and practitioners of the
Transcendental Magic
'Our work has two parts; in the one we establish the Kabbalistic and magical doctrine in its entirety; the other is consecrated to the cultus, that is, to ceremonial magic. The one is that which the ancient sages termed the clavicle, the other that which rural people still call the grimoire. The numbers and subjects of the chapters, which correspond in both parts, are in no sense arbitrary, and are all indicated in the great universal key, of which we give for the first time a complete and adequate explanation. Let this work now go its way where it wills, and become what Providence determines; it is finished, and we believe it to be enduring, because it is strong, like all that is reasonable and conscientious. Eliphas Levi'

The Drowned and the Saved
In his final book before his death, Primo Levi returns once more to his time at Auschwitz in a moving meditation on memory, resiliency, and the struggle to comprehend unimaginable tragedy. Drawing on history, philosophy, and his own personal experiences, Levi asks if we have already begun to forget about the Holocaust. His last book before his death, Levi returns to the subject that would define his reputation as a writer and a witness. Levi breaks his book into eight essays, ranging from topics like the unreliability of memory to how violence twists both the victim and the victimizer. He shares how difficult it is for him to tell his experiences with his children and friends. He also debunks the myth that most of the Germans were in the dark about the Final Solution or that Jews never attempted to escape the camps. As the Holocaust recedes into the past and fewer and fewer survivors are left to tell their stories, The Drowned and the Saved is a vital first-person testament. Along
