1996 173p. Though cast in the form of a novel, Frabato the Magician is in fact the spiritual autobiography of Franz Bardon, one of the twentieth century's greatest Hermetic adepts. Frabato was the author's stage name during his career as a performing magician, and it is Frabato who occupies center stage in the novel as well. Set in Dresden, Germany, in the early 1930s, the story chronicles Frabato's magical battles with the members of a powerful and dangerous black lodge, his escape from Germany during the final desperate days of the Weimar Republic, and the beginning of the spiritual mission which was to culminate in Franz Bardon's classic books on Hermetic magic. More than an occult novel, Frabato the Magician is itself a work of magic which illuminates Bardon's other books as well as providing a revealing look into the dark occult forces which lay behind the rise of the Third Reich.

1999 287p. Initiation into Hermetics is the entrance gate to true initiation as it is the first key to the universal laws. The content of this book is not based on any speculative methods, but is the result of personal experiences and research of practical exercises by the author, which, up to now, was available only to a chosen few. And it is not easy to express in simple words a subject which is on such high level as magic, and make it understandable to everyone. Initiation into Hermetics transcends any book ever written on this subject, even though it is only the first of three volumes. From this statement you can gather the wealth of information the other volumes contain. Never before in the history of mankind has this information been committed in this form to paper in such a complete and understandable manner. Initiation into Hermetics is the greatest treasure in this universe and this applies to the other two volumes as well. The reader will not find this information in any other books.

First Published 1956, 2002 Edition. 546 Pages, 148p. & Color Plates With Seals of Spirit Beings . Merkur Publishing. The Practice of Magical Evocation is divided into two parts: the first section deals with evocational magic, and second with the hierarchy of the beings in the different spheres. You could divide magical knowledge into three categories: lower magic, intermediate magic, and high magic. This book gives the reader the significance of the magic circle, triangle, the magic mirror, the magic wand, and so forth. The second part discloses the names and signatures of the different heads, genii and intelligences of the various planetary spheres in our solar system, how to communicate with them and also what their specific tasks are. These heads or genii have their specific field; there is not one field of endeavor which is not covered by one or another head, intelligence or genii. A detailed description of their expertise in a particular field is listed in this book by name and sphere, and how to establish contact with these beings. It should however be mentioned that you cannot succeed in contacting these beings unless you have practically and successfully completed the first volume Initiation into Hermetics, or you must have at least successfully completed the eighth step.

1996 279p. In The Key to the True Kabbalah, Franz Bardon demonstrates that the 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 texts 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.

1998 99p. Franz Bardon is regarded by many as greatest Hermetic adept of the 20th century. A tireless worker for the light, he survived Hitler's concentration camps but died a victim of Communist persecution in 1958. He left behind him four legendary books which have become acknowledged classics of occult literature. This present volume is the first complete Bardon book from the hand of Franz Bardon to appear since his famous series of books on Hermetics. Compiled by Dieter Rueggeberg from the notes of Bardon's students in Prague, it represents his oral teachings on the nature of the magical universe.

1976 Originally, 2002 Edition published by Motilal Banarsidass, India. This book contains a surprise beyond its excellent, highly scientific, mystical instructions. In the back it includes 25 Diagrams by Eberhard Wortmann, the only modern author to be acknowledged by Hermann Hesse as a master of the Glass Bead Game. Surprisingly, there is no reference made or credit given to Wortmann in the book, the diagrams are just mysteriously included, with brief one line descriptions of shocking content value. Wortmann’s diagrams are probably the most advanced sacred geometry diagrams ever conceived & all were inspired from Plato’s Timeaus/Republic. Since Wortmann’s works are all in German, this is the only clue we have in English to his mysterious and superb work! Besides the diagrams, this books presents a spiritual science of meditation and mastery with a scientific basis the like of which we have not seen before, but most closely resembling the initiatory path of Franz Bardon, though focused more on mysticism than magic. Contents: Mind & Thinking; Drifts of the Mind & What They Convey; Do We Think & How?; Must We Sleep & How Much?; Expanding Consciousness; Breathing & Its Relationship To Conscious & Life; Spiritual Planes; Avoidable Mistakes; The Centres (Chakras) & Their Mechanism; Use of Free Will in Trifles; Correct Methods of Daily Living; Progress on the Path; Will-Force; Internal Non-Equilibrium of Centres; How to Restore Equilibrium of Centres; Purpose of Life & Birth; Unpublished Secrets of Zen & Yoga; Pratyahara; Self-Conquest; Laws of Spiritual Success; Liberation from Bondage to Ego; Yoga Sutras; The 60 Secret Steps To Salvation; Mysteries of Higher Grades of Salvation; Practical Exercises; Celestial Influence or Intensities of Celestial Bodies; Neuro-Physiological Basis of our Mind. 25 Wortmann Diagrams!!!

2006. 720p. Less than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Supernatural Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind. Hancock's quest takes him on a detective journey from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa, where he finds extraordinary Stone Age art. He uncovers clues that lead him to the depths of the Amazon rainforest to drink the powerful hallucinogen Ayahuasca with shamans, whose paintings contain images of "super-natural beings" identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves. Hallucinogens such as mescaline also produce visionary encounters with exactly the same beings. Scientists at the cutting edge of consciousness research have begun to consider the possibility that such hallucinations may be real perceptions of other "dimensions." Hancock theorizes that hallucinogens serve to allow the consciousness to access the “junk DNA,” strands of DNA we all possess which are considered useless by geneticists, and which possibly store advances in human knowledge which can be accessed through these “plant teachers.” He sets out to create a Map of the symbolism of the inner realms, in order to develop a deeper understanding of these transformational experiences. Could the "supernaturals" first depicted in the painted caves be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be that human evolution is not just the "meaningless" process that Darwin identified, but something more purposive and intelligent that we have barely begun to understand? A fascinating and very original work!
