Gothic High: Meditations on the Construction of Gothic Cathedrals

Goldian VandenBroeck

Poetic ode, in sonnet form, to the vault, the arch and the flying buttress. “Ever since they were first built, the great medieval cathedrals of Europe have inspired successive generations of pilgrims, worshipers and casual visitors. Everyone who steps into these monuments of wisdom is touched and taught by their presence… Reading these words—laid down like stones—in light of their matching images, we are able to enter not only the spirit of the builders but the very process whereby the buildings, stone by stone, erect their meaning and philosophy.” GR

Malcolm Barber

The rise and fall of red-crossed Knights Templar crusaders. The origins, the flourishing, the suppression and the afterlife. “The Order of the Temple, founded in 1119 to protect pilgrims around Jerusalem, developed into one of the most influential corporations in the medieval world. It has retained its hold on the modern imagination, thanks to the dramatic events of the Templars’ trial and abolition 200 years later, and has been invoked in historical mysteries from Masonic conspiracy to the survival of the Turin shroud.” GR

Pacts With the Devil: A Chronicle of Sex, Blasphemy and Liberation

S.J. Black and Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph.D.

“Genuine manual of the dreaded ‘left-handed path.’” Learn to consort with the demons and achieve the power of the Magus. The authors “plumb history, psychology and anthropology to reveal the true ‘secret doctrine’ of Western culture,” along with its psyche and magical tradition. “Contains a detailed history of European black magic and includes new editions of 17th- and 18th-century grimoires with detailed instruction for their use.” The grimoires, or ritual pacts with Satan, have been updated from ancient texts. The required slaughter of a goat can now be safely replaced with sex. (Not with the goat, you stupid neo-pagan!) GR

The Phallus: Sacred Symbol of Male Creative Power

Alain Daniélou

Worship of the male member in ancient cultures, from the Hindus to the Greeks to the Celts. “The phallus is really the image of the creator in mankind, and we rediscover the worship of it at the origin of every religion.” The cult of the cock is traced from Neolithic amulets and stones still standing in Europe to the many fertility gods of world mythology. “Contempt for this sacred emblem, as well as degradation and debasement of it, pushes man from the divine reality. It provokes the anger of the gods and leads to the decline of the species!” GR
