    • Začíná to jako vzrušující špionážní román, kdy investigativní novinář Peter Levenda zkoumá okultní kořeny nacistického hnutí, které sahají hluboko do historie. Jeho cesta ho zavede do odlehlé chilské osady, kde se po druhé světové válce skrývali uprchlí nacističtí váleční zločinci. Levenda se pouští do zkoumání okultních mýtů, symbolů a nauk, které ovlivnily miliony lidí a přispěly k vzniku Třetí říše. Okultismus se však neomezoval pouze na Německo; jeho mezinárodní síť organizací měla vliv na ideologii a politiku, což mělo dopad na průběh druhé světové války a její pokračování v období studené války. Autor přináší zajímavé a málo známé příběhy o zapojení okultistů do válečných konfliktů a rozvoji psychologického vedení války. Zjištění, že politici a vůdci používají magii jako zbraň, má i současný kontext, kdy náboženský fanatismus a mystické spojení s nadpřirozenem přispívají k teroristickým útokům. Levenda se také zaměřuje na masakr z roku 1999, kdy studenti inspirovaní nacisty zabili své spolužáky, a upozorňuje na souvislosti s moderním okultismem v Americe, který má stejně hluboké kořeny jako v Německu.

      The roots of coincidence and conspiracy in American politics, crime, and culture are examined in this first volume of a three-part set, exposing new connections between religion, political conspiracy, and occultism. Based on the premise that there is a satanic undercurrent to American affairs, this study examines the sinister forces at work throughout history, from ancient American civilizations and the mysterious mound-builder culture to the Salem witch trials, the birth of Mormonism during a ritual of ceremonial magic by Joseph Smith Jr., and Operations Paperclip and Bluebird. Not a work of speculative history, this exposé is founded on primary source material and historical documents. Fascinating details are revealed, including the bizarre world of "wandering bishops" who appear throughout the Kennedy assassinations; a CIA mind-control program run amok in the United States and Canada; a famous American spiritual leader who had ties to Lee Harvey Oswald in the weeks and months leading up to the assassination of President Kennedy; and the "Manson secret."

      Dunwich is based on the themes in H. P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror and is the continuation of Peter Levenda's novel The Lovecraft Code. Beginning with the harrowing experience of an alien abductee in a small New England town and continuing through a series of encounters with a renowned mathematician, mercenary geneticists, an international ring of pornographers, the human trafficking cult of the Islamic State, and practitioners of an arcane form of sexual occultism, Dunwich follows the adventures of religion professor Gregory Angell as he attempts to discover a shocking secret encoded within an ancient book of magic that, once deciphered, will cause the eruption of a force so prehistoric that its earthly temples--once submerged beneath the seas--will rise to the surface again.

      "Angell makes his way back to the Americas after trekking across Central Asia and China and sailing the South China Sea to Indonesia. In the meantime, the search for the missing professor and the all-important book consumes Dwight Monroe and his team, while a string of murders in New Orleans baffles Detective Cuneo and brings NYPD Lieutenant Wasserman out of retirement. At the same time, Jamila, the young Yezidi woman with a strange paranormal ability and a deadly aim, finds herself on a mission in the United States to take out the man who destroyed her village. And a distraught mother whose two sons were abducted by a sinister being is now pregnant with another child and travels around the country looking for answers in gatherings of UFO contactees and the rites of a voodoo priestess where she will have to confront a mind-bending truth. They all find themselves drawn together at a building in one of America's iconic cities at a house with a bizarre architecture that is based on a strange but sacred geometry--a geometry that's designed to call down something from the stars"--Amazon.com

      One of the most famous - yet least understood - manifestations of Thelemic thought has been the works of Kenneth Grant, the British occultist and one-time intimate of Aleister Crowley, who discovered a hidden world within the primary source materials of Crowley's Aeon of Horus. Using complementary texts from such disparate authors as H.P. Lovecraft, Jack Parsons, Austin Osman Spare, and Charles Stansfeld Jones ("Frater Achad"), Grant formulated a system of magic that expanded upon that delineated in the rituals of the OTO: a system that included elements of Tantra, of Voudon, and in particu ..

      Drawing on decades of experience, author and historian Peter Levenda turns to the novel as the best and perhaps only way to tell a story that has to be told - that hidden within the tales of America's most iconic writer of gothic horror, H.P. Lovecraft, runs a vein of actual terror. Gregory Angell, the present-day descendant of George Angell in Lovecraft's "Call of Cthulhu," is summoned by a nameless covert agency of the US government to retrieve a sacred book from the grasp of an Islamist terror network operating out of northern Iraq, in the land of the Yezidi. Practitioners of a monotheistic religion with mystical traditions, the Yezidi are all that's left of an ancient sect that possessed the key to the origins of the human race and was in conflict with another, more ancient civilization from beyond the stars. Hailed by author Christopher Farnsworth ( Blood Oath ) as a "more intelligent DaVinci Code " and by Whitley Strieber ( The Key ) as "a riveting work of fiction," this book will thrill Lovecraft aficionados, readers of reality-based thrillers, and conspiracy theorists alike.

      The Lovecraft Code
    • This is a unique history of Masonry written from the perspective of an educated outsider. The author is sympathetic to Masonic goals, a historian of secret societies and political conspiracies, and an exhaustive researcher. He looks back to the earliest roots of the Craft, and then traces its influence into modern times. From the Bible's Temple of Solomon through the Knights Templars, to the Rosicrucians and Illuminati, we learn of Masonry's roots and early history. Enlightenment philosophy and the revolutionary currents of eighteenth-century Europe opened an opportunity for the American experiment. Sacred geometry and architecture combined to create Washington, DC, and the rest, as they say, is history. This second revised and enlarged edition includes a new chapter on Freemasonry in South America--from the revolution of Simón Bolívar to the capture and execution of Che Guevara.
