Not in His Image: Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief by John Lamb Lash Average Rating: "As I'm sure many others did, I purchased this book after hearing the interview with John Lash on Coast to Coast with Ian Punnett. Punnett was critical of Lash, stating that his book did not reflect a tolerant attitude towards people of faith. After reading the book though, I believe that Lash's attitude towards the Christian world is ultimately one of compassion. ..."
Occult Medicine & Practical Magic by Samael Aun Weor Average Rating: "In this treatise, Samael Aun Weor reveals the magical practices (and their step by step application) that have been used for countless centuries by the mystical Shaman Priests of one of the most ancient indigenous tribes in South America: the Kogi.
This tribe has been tucked away in a very remote area in the Amazonian jungles of Colombia and have allowed a handful of non-Kogi people into their mystical sanctuaries and initiatic fraternities to learn their ancient mystical rites and practices. ..."
The Major Mysteries: The Gnostic Jesus and the Path of Initiation by Samael Aun Weor Average Rating: "Christic Esotericism, the secret Jewish Kabbalah, and the Holy Alchemy united would have completely illuminated and transformed the entire world. Yes, the mysteries of Levi would have shone with the Light of Christ." (Samael Aun Weor) Arranged in three parts, this unprecedented text answers the cries of centuries of pain and ignorance. ...
The Gnostic Bible: The Pistis Sophia Unveiled by Samael Aun Weor Average Rating: "The Pistis Sophia has been a highly misunderstood text ever since it's discovery. Many intellectuals, pseudo-theologists and historians like to attach their own meaning based upon information that they gather from their five senses.
This book, The Pistis Sophia UNVEILED, has commentary by the greatest Spiritual Master of our times, the Gnostic Master Samael Aun Weor. ..."
The Voudon Gnostic Workbook: Expanded Edition by Michael Bertiaux Average Rating: "This is indeed an excellent book and I am happy that Red Wheel / Weiser are republishing this at last.
However I have massive issues with this Oberon Zell-Ravenhearts synopsis above. Clearly he has never actually read the VGN as it is not about classical voodoo but rather Michael Bertiaux's take on the subject which differs widely and can be seen as a unique and powerful magical system. ..."
The Gnostic Religion by Hans Jonas Average Rating: "As an introduction to this insightful work, Hans Jonas opens with one of the most illuminating overviews of the condition of the Greco-Roman and the Orient from times of Alexander the Great to the early centuries of the Christian Era. Then, moving into the Gnostic texts, Jonas discusses the meaning of "gnosis", as the ancient man understood it, along with other terms pervasive throughout Gnostic literature. ..."
The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah (Timeless Gnostic Wisdom) (Timeless Gnostic Wisdom) by Samael Aun Weor Average Rating: "This book explains the basic knowledge required in order to comprehend any aspect of the true path to the Self-realization of the Being. Every step of the way is mapped on the Kabbalah, thus to understand the Kabbalah is to understand the map. However, the public and popular Kabbalah is hugely distorted and it is necessary for sincere seekers to purify themselves of wrong concepts, as they threaten to take us from the path. ..."
Gnostic Philosophy: From Ancient Persia to Modern Times by Tobias Churton Average Rating: "Although this book purports to be a history of a philosophy, Churton stretches definition of "gnosis" almost to the breaking point. In the minds of most today, "Gnosticism" refers to one of the many branches of Christianity. Following the work of Hans Jonas, Churton argues that the "gnostics" have roots far back in time, long before Jesus. ..."
The Gnostic Empire Strikes Back: An Old Heresy for the New Age by Peter Jones Average Rating: "A few of the reviews I read on amazon were so annoying, I thought I'd chime in. Sure, if you are a Gnostic you probably don't agree with Peter Jones' judgments. But don't try to belittle his intelligence or his command of the subject matter. He has a Ph.D. from Princeton Seminary, he's been a theology porfessor for years, and he has written a number of books on the topic. ..."
