Simon Magus: His Philosophy and Teachings ( Hardcover )

Categories: Catalog, Gnosis / Hermeticism, Hardcover Editions|Tags: |

Simon Magus

Author: G.R.S. Mead

Simon Magus was originally a Christian and disciple of John the Baptist, but broke off and formed the first Christian heresy, called Simonianism.

After learning magical medicine in Alexandria he was considered to have many magical skills. To this day, a skilled magician is called a “magus.” He also studied Greek philosophers, especially Heraclitus, and was the first Christian to attempt to bridge Greek philosophy and Christianity. If a bridge ever occurred, Church leaders feared they would weaken over time and not survive.

According to Mead, this was Simon’s great heresy – not his magic. This book shows Magus to have been a brilliant man who was breaking new ground, philosophically and spiritually.

Pistis Sophia ( Hardcover )

Categories: Catalog, Gnosis / Hermeticism, Hardcover Editions|Tags: |

Pistis Sophia

Author: G.R.S. Mead

The Gnostics consisted of a number of early Christian mystical sects. Their teachers were persecuted and documents destroyed because the Church desired a uniform set of beliefs to operate under. Only now have we begun to better appreciate them. Pistis Sophia was the most important Gnostic document until the discovery of The Nag Hammadi Library. This work remains an important milestone in Gnostic research. It is the story of how we, as spiritual beings, have fallen into the world of physical creation. The soul is asleep here, bogged down in physical surroundings, unaware of its true nature. The purpose of this gospel is to awaken us, and aid in the process of spiritual freedom. Hard & soft cover versions.

The Gnosis ( Hardcover )

Categories: Catalog, Gnosis / Hermeticism, Hardcover Editions|Tags: |

The Gnosis

Subtitle: Or Ancient Wisdom in the Christian Scriptures

Author: William Kingsland

Goes back to the foundational teachings of Christianity and demonstrates that they were actually derived from the Gnosis, or Ancient Wisdom. Gnosis is a Greek word meaning “knowledge,” or “to know.” In the early Church those who were mystics, or Gnostics, were rejected and considered heretics. This book identifies certain mystical teachings from early times as rightfully belonging in the Church. According to Kingsland, this is the real Christian message as originally understood by the Gospel writers.
