As a follow-up to his book "Tour of Gnosticism," where gnostic cosmology is explored in conjunction with mainstream Christendom, Lumpkin has released this jaw-dropping volume of influential Gnostic texts. Lumpkin takes it a step further by coupling the text with lessons on common themes in Gnosticism, historical context for the texts, and expert commentary exploring the differences in the largest gnostic sects.

The value of The Book of Jasher is seen in the large quantity of additional detail revealed from the period between divine creation and the time of Joshua's leadership over Israel when the Israelites enter into the land of Canaan. The Book of Jasher includes details about the antediluvian patriarchs, angels, watchers, the flood, the tower of Babel, and many other events mentioned in the Bible. The tales are expanded and infused with detail not previously available. This means we receive insight into the lives of Abraham, Noah, Enoch, Joseph, and many others.

The Book of Enoch: A Complete Guide and Reference is the ultimate reference and guide to the book of 1 Enoch (The Ethiopic Book of Enoch). This guide and reference contains the author's notes and insights on the ancient text, as well as commentary, parallel Bible verses, references to 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch, history, prophecy, and the Calendar of Enoch. The author has included an amazing section on the application of the Calendar of Enoch to the prophecy of Daniel and "Daniel's Week of Years."

In Samuel Johnson's famous quote, "When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully," we find a sobering observation about the power of impending death to focus one's thoughts. Thus is was for the mind and spirit of this soon-to-be martyr.

Early Christians quoted them. The Dead Sea Scrolls preserved them. The Ethiopian Church canonized them. Yet most modern readers have never opened their pages. This compendium gathers four of the most influential extrabiblical texts—1 Enoch, Jubilees, Jasher, and the fragmentary Book of Giants—complete with scholarly introductions and line-by-line annotations from acclaimed author-editor Joseph Lumpkin.

The Collected Works of Florence Scovel Shinn brings together, in a single powerful volume, the three spiritual masterpieces that made Shinn one of the most beloved metaphysical teachers of the 20th century. These works—The Game of Life and How to Play It, Your Word Is Your Wand, and The Secret Door to Success—have transformed the lives of millions, offering timeless principles of manifestation, faith, and divine alignment.

The Greater Key of Solomon remains one of the most influential works of ceremonial magic in the Western tradition. Though attributed to King Solomon, the text reflects centuries of transmission and adaptation. This edition restores the classic 1914 L.W. de Laurence version—derived from S.L. MacGregor Mathers—fully cleansed of advertisements and commercial insertions.

This edition of The Lesser Key of Solomon, also known as Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis, offers a complete facsimile of the original Goetia text alongside extensive scholarly commentary. It situates the work within the broader tradition of biblical and apocryphal literature, highlighting linguistic and theological connections often overlooked in modern presentations.

In the bible of one of the oldest Christian sects, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, are the books of Enoch and Jubilees. These ancient texts are missing from the bibles of other Christian sects and denominations. The books reveal the secrets of the Watchers, the fallen angels who mated with women. The texts describe the offspring of this unholy union and how it brought evil into the world in the forms of the Giants, the Men of Renown, and the Nephilim, who were half human and half demon.

At the renowned Coachella music festival in 2012, crowds looked on with awe and stunned silence as the world's most famous rapper took the stage to deliver a fiery performance of two of his well-known hits alongside friend and former collaborator Snoop Dogg. The legendary Tupac Shakur had just overshadowed every other performer at the festival, despite the fact he'd been dead for over 15 years.

Aradia remains one of the most influential and mysterious works ever written on la vecchia religione, the Old Religion of pre-Christian Italy. In this seminal text, folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland preserves the mythic narrative, ritual language, and liturgical practices of a tradition in which Diana is the primordial Goddess and Aradia (Herodias) is her incarnate daughter, teacher, and liberator. Witchcraft here is not superstition but a sacred inheritance, carried by the marginalized and kept alive through an unbroken thread of devotion.

The Space-Born is a rare poetic work by Manly P. Hall, presented here as a complete cycle of meditative poems reflecting on human consciousness and its relationship to the infinite. Best known for works such as The Secret Teachings of All Ages and Initiates of the Flame, Hall adopts a quieter and more interior voice in this volume. These poems do not teach through argument or exposition, but through image, rhythm, and reflective cadence. Together, they form a contemplative sequence concerned with inner awakening, moral responsibility, and the meeting point between spirit and lived experience.

Whether you are beginning your spiritual path or seeking to deepen an already awakened inner life, Light on the Path & Through the Gates of Gold offers timeless guidance—gentle, piercing, and transformative.

This is lavish production with audio effects to enhance your experience. From the caves of Qumran came a scroll given the name, "The Book of Giants." It is thought to have been based on The Book of Enoch, a pseudepigraphical Jewish work from the 3rd century BCE, which was based on Genesis 6:1-4. The Book of Giants, like The Book of Enoch, concerns itself with the Nephilim, which, in the Enoch version, are the offspring of human women and fallen angels, who are called the Watchers

Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it is a game. It is a game, however, which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law, and the Old and the New Testaments give the rules of the game with wonderful clearness. Jesus Christ taught that it was a great game of giving and receiving. "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." This means that whatever man sends out in word or deed, will return to him; what he gives, he will receive.

Is mankind headed for destruction? How will it all end? When will it happen? What is man's destiny? Will we die by our own hand or by the hand of God? For thousands of years, the questions have been the same. Millions of souls have searched for the answers to no avail; nevertheless, some believed they knew. We call them prophets. They saw the end of our world, and they believed their visions were true.

In time the Piby shall contain all worthy prophecies and inspirations endowed by God upon the sons and daughters of Ethiopia, but no article shall be permitted to enter the Piby save that which is in accordance with the gospel of the 20th century, preached by his holiness, Shepherd Athlyi, apostle Marcus Garvey and colleague; the three apostles anointed and sent forth by the Almighty God to lay the foundation of industry, liberty and justice unto the generations of Ethiopia that they prove themselves a power among the nations and in the glory of their God.
