NEW RELEASE ‘A Dictionary of Gnosticism’ by Andrew Phillip Smith

QUEST BOOKS is excited to announce our new release: A Dictionary of Gnosticism by Andrew Phillip Smith!!!

Blockbuster films like The Matrix and Stigmata have helped fuel the continued fascination with Gnosticism. Although The Matrix conveys complex concepts like “archons” and “dualism” with marvelous simplicity, Gnostic texts do anything but. Curious new students of Gnosticism find they are swiftly bombarded with numerous foreign, often un-translated, and barely pronounceable terms like Acinetos and Deitharbathas. Now for the first time, a comprehensive guide to all aspects of Gnosticism and related spirituality is available to the public in a straightforward dictionary!

An amazing storehouse of information, A Dictionary of Gnosticism contains nearly 1,700 entries, from Aachiaram, an angel in the Secret Book of John, to the Zostrianos, a third-century Gnostic text that recounts a series of revelations on the successive stages of the soul’s ascent. With an easy-to-read introduction explaining who the Gnostics were and what Gnosticism is, Smith delivers a whirlwind tour through the ancient and diverse history of this captivating movement!

Andrew Phillip Smith is editor of The Gnostic magazine and author of over half a dozen books on apocryphal scriptures, including The Gnostics : History, Tradition, Scriptures, Influence and several books in Skylight Paths‘ annotated and explained series:  The Lost Sayings of Jesus,  The Gospel of Philip, and Gnostic Writings on the Soul.  

This book is the answer to the prayers of students and practitioners of Gnosticism from far and wide. Andrew Phillip Smith has given us a readable, informative and accurate compendium of words, names and concepts of Gnostic interest that will be welcomed and used abundantly.
—Dr. Stephan A. Hoeller, Bishop of the Ecclesia Gnostica and author of Gnosticism: New Light on the Ancient Tradition of Inner Knowing

Not only is this an excellent aid for anyone trying to make sense out of the complicated cosmologies and scriptures of the ancient Gnostics, but it also provides an overview of gnostic movements and mystics down through the centuries.
—Jay Kinney, author of The Masonic Myth

A long-awaited and indispensable grammar of classical Gnosticism – essential for any serious student, and a practical gem for the curious.
—Jordan Stratford, author of Living Gnosticism

More than a dictionary for reference and research, this book is an index of ideas and suggestions. Readers interested in Gnosticism and related alternative religions of earlier times will find a whole host of new ideas and leads and directions for further inquiry. Think of the book as a thousand starting points for your explorations into spiritual unknowns!
—Stevan Davies, Professor of Religious Studies, Misericordia University and author of  The Secret Book Of John

A Dictionary of Gnosticism is a valuable resource for any student of Gnosis. If you need a helpful translator of the language, or a sympathetic guide to the beliefs of these extraordinary women and men who lived a long time ago, in a world far, far away, then this is the book for you. Think of it as the ‘Lonely Cosmos Guide to Gnosis’, and always pack a copy when you are setting out for that strange and exciting country. Have a great trip!
—Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy, authors of The Jesus Mysteries and The Gospel of the Second Coming

Russian Magic reviewed by the Theosophical Order of Service!

The Theosophical Order of Service (TOS) has reviewed Russian Magic:Living Folk Traditions of an Enchanted by Cherry Gilchrist!

There are hints of broader issues such as the use of folklore in high culture, by composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov and Stravinski and writers like Pushkin. –Rene Wadlow, TOS

Paul Quinn interviewed by the American Tarot Association’s Tarot Reflections

The October issue of the American Tarot Association’s online journal, Tarot Reflections, interviews Paul Quinn, author of Tarot for Life: Reading the Cards for Everyday Guidance and Growth.

Interview with Paul Quinn:
“Mystery is Soul Nourishment”

“Paul Quinn might be new to book writing, but he’s no stranger to Tarot. An intuitive counselor and gifted writer who has taught and read tarot for the past eleven years, Paul’s debut on the publishing front was pretty much inevitable. His work—Tarot for Life (Quest Books, 2009)—is reflective of his personal vision of mystical practicality. Offering easy to understand real-life applications while at the same time delving deep into the sacred nature of the cards, the book is a double take on Tarot, inspiring even longtime readers to take a fresh look at the craft. We thrive on discovering new talents, and when I came across Paul’s work at INATS-West this past summer, I knew right away this man is something special.”

UFO Magazine Interviews Patrice Chaplin!

The latest issue of UFO Magazine features Patrice Chaplin in an intimate interview. Patrice and UFO Magazine’s Sean Casteel discuss the otherwordly origins of the legendary Holy Grail.

When asked the obligatory question: “Does this have anthing to do with aliens?” Chaplin responded by saying that aliens, as she understood the term, are able to walk through portals and arrive on this planet in a manner similar to Magdalene.                      

“I have been told that the Grail material and the initiates’ journey had been handed down from before the time of Atlantis by intelligence greater than ours. Cabbala experiments do lead to transformation and to experiences with many entities that are ‘other than us.’…I understand that the cup is made of the highest form of gold, a white powder which is mentioned in the Bible. Also other materials from ‘elsewhere’ which may or may not survive this atmosphere.” –excerpted from  Chaplin’s Love Affair with the City of Secrets by Sean Casteel, UFO Magazine

♫ Patrice Chaplin’s ‘City of Secrets’ Inspiration for Corjan de Raaf’s Newest Single!

Pop singer/songwriter Corjan de Raaf is known for writing “songs with a head, a tail and a story in between.” Corjan’s latest release, City of Secrets (The Grail in You), is based on Hollywood’s Patrice Chaplin and her recent memoir City of Secrets: One Woman’s True-life Journey to the Heart of the Grail Legend.

“When her book City of Secrets was published in 2004, it caused quite a stir. The book basically recounts how a young woman gets involved with the keeper of the Grail in the Spanish city of Gerona. The book, which is an autobiographical account, is beautifully written and has many touchpoints with the mysteries that are so dear to me. My next single will be called City of Secrets. It’s a song written for Chaplin about her book. Fortunately, she loved the lyrics and the music and even let me use a picture of her on the cover…City of Secrets is an up-tempo addictive pop song. It is a love song again but not like any other one you’ve heard I think. The song will have it’s TV premiere in the Philip Gardiner show. I am slowly releasing it to the internet channels as we speak. You might want to have a peep here.”
–Corjan de Raaf

Corjan has just released his first full-length album ‘Scenes’. Corjan is probably best known in the international world of Mystery Hunters for his contributing  research into the Mystery of Rennes-le-Château, the enigma around the French priest Bérenger Saunière. Today, Corjan de Raaf’s website RLC Research is one of the biggest and most authoritative english sites in the field. De Raaf also co-founded Radio Rennessence, a mystery podcast website that includes a large number of audio interviews with authors and researchers.

“We are on the very brink of rediscovering what has been lost since ancient times, our spiritual destiny…the Force is with us.” —Tom Walker

‘The Force Is with Us’ reviewed in the September issue of The Monthly Aspectarian

The September issue of The Monthly Aspectarian has reviewed The Force Is with Us: The Higher Consciousness that Science Refuses to Accept by Tom Walker.

The Force Is with Us sheds much light on the vast proof of psychic phenomena, and in particular, its enthusiastic use by governments. From ESP to Soviet psychic spies, from auras to life on Mars, Walker explores the gamut of vetted documentation. The CIA’s commissioning of physicist Hal Pulhoff for secret remote-viewing experiments and parapsychologist J.B. Rhine’s infamous ESP testing are among the curious array of examples he presents in this detailed compilation of lab-controlled research. Read the review

A ROBOT, I AM NOT reviews Gary Lachman’s ‘Politics and the Occult’

Politics and the Occult:The Left, the Right, and the Radically Unseen, by occult writer and Blondie founding member and former bassist Gary Lachman, is this month’s latest review on the reflective, witty blog A Robot, I Am Not.

“When most think occult politics, they think the overblown claims of Nazi Occultism and the Thule Society…Lachman debunks these fantastical claims by laying down the actual (and much less colorful) history of the Thule society…Lachman closes the book with some of his own thoughts on “illuminated politics” in the current years. His concerns about American Fascism are not overblown or misplaced. When the majority of a country is expecting a rapture or deliverance from above, its desires could be easily manipulated by overzealous demagogues…When a society is desperate it may look to any alternative that combines religion with political solutions.”

Paul Quinn interviewed on James Wells’ Evolutionary Tarot!

Tarot consultant, teacher, and blogger James Wells interviews Tarot for Life author Paul Quinn on Evolutionary Tarot!

A question I use in many client readings is a simple, powerful two-card spread I created called “Go/Grow.” The first question/card is simply “What wants to go?” which speaks to something our Higher Self would like us to shed. The second question/card is “What wants to grow?” which indicates a quality or relationship that serves our spiritual evolution.

NEW RELEASE ‘The Force Is with Us: The Higher Consciousness That Science Refuses to Accept’

QUEST BOOKS is excited to announce our new release,The Force Is with Us: The Higher Consciousness That Science Refuses to Accept, by Thomas Walker…

 

A readable, delightful, and highly compressed account of some of the most remarkable scientific findings of our age.        
—from the foreword by Richard Smoley, coauthor, Hidden Wisdom

 

The Force Is with Us: The Higher Consciousness that Science Refuses to Accept is the enthralling journey through Walker’s personal paranormal experiences and documented scientific research. This book begs the question “Is there real truth to the sci-fi Star Wars movies after all?!” Is there a force that burns and moves through all things, visible and invisible? During a series of unimaginable heartbreaks, a time of immense tribulation ending with his teenage son’s lost battle with cancer, Tom Walker met this Force, this omnipresent energy, firsthand. Walker’s heartfelt encounters with his son from beyond the grave urged him to search passionately for a valid explanation. What he found is truly amazing and just the beginning.

“We are on the very brink of rediscovering what has been lost since ancient times, our spiritual destiny…the Force is with us.” —Tom Walker

The Force Is with Us sheds much-needed light on the vast proof of psychic phenomena, and, in particular, its enthusiastic use by governments! From ESP to Soviet psychic spies, from auras to life on Mars, Walker explores the gamut of vetted documentation. The CIA’s commissioning of physicist Hal Puthoff for secret remote- viewing experiments and parapsychologist J.B. Rhine’s infamous ESP testing are among the curious array of examples Walker presents in this detailed compilation of lab-controlled research. From out-of-body experiences and energy healing to precognition and psychokinesis, this powerfully persuasive book reveals that the source of all of these studied and proven phenomena is a divine energy awaiting re-discovery in us all. The Force Is with Us is a must-read for anyone interested in our connection with the higher planes of consciousness, the great beyond, the fundamental quantum reality that makes up the world.

Tom Walker’s book is a fantastic exercise in open mindedness. Why are so many apparently wacky notions so violently opposed by the establishment? If they’re silly and untrue, why all the fuss? And… Who would stand to lose if they were true? Read it and ponder.                                                                                                          —Mark Vicente, Director of the film What the BLEEP Do We Know?!

The style is lively, and you have covered a lot of ground. I hope it has a positive impact.
—Rupert Sheldrake, author of The Sense of Being Stared At: And Other Aspects of the Extended Mind

A difficult job well done. Walker helps to make the pathe of awakening the general public so much eaiser. Many people will enjoy the adventure he lays out for them.
—Dr. William Tiller, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University, author of Psychoenergetic Science and Science and Human Transformation

Thomas Walker, D.C., is a modern Renaissance man. An authority on alternative healthcare and science, he is a chiropractic physician, master level martial artist, former US Army Green Beret, professor of natural science, artist, musician and author. He lives in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, where he teaches kung fu, practices alternative medicine, and continues his investigation into New Science and spiritual phenomena.
