A compendium celebrating the art of hell and its minionsPandemonium: A Visual History of Demonology presents—for the first time—Satan’s family tree, providing a history and analysis of his fellow fallen angels from Asmodeus to Ziminiar. Throughout the book, there are short entries on individual demons, but Pandemonium is more than just a visual encyclopedia. It also focuses on the influence of figures like Beelzebub, Azazel, Lilith, and Moloch on Western religion, literature, and art. Ranging from the earliest scriptural references to demons through the contemporary era, when the devils took on a subtler form, Pandemonium functions as a compendium of Lucifer’s subjects, from Dante’s The Divine Comedy to John Milton’s Paradise Lost, and all the points in between. Containing rarely seen illustrations of very old treatises on demonology, as well as more well-known works by the great masters of Western painting, this book celebrates the art of hell like never before.

A gloriously illustrated overview of angels across art, religion, and literature Ineffable, invisible, inscrutable--angels are enduring creatures across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and human experiences of the divine as mediated by spiritual emissaries are an aspect of almost every religious tradition. In popular culture, angels are often reduced to the most gauzy, sentimental, and saccharine of images: fat babies with wings and guardians with robes, halos, and harps. By contrast, in scripture whenever one of the heavenly choirs appears before a prophet or patriarch, they first declare "Fear not!" for terror would be the most appropriate initial reaction to these otherworldly beings. Angels are often not what we'd expect, but it's precisely in that transcendent encounter that something of the strangeness of existence can be conveyed. Elysium: A Visual History of Angelology is a follow-up volume to Pandemonium: A Visual History of Demonology, and like the earlier title, this book offers an account of the angelic hierarchies as they've been understood across centuries and cultures and of the individual personages, such as the archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel, who have marked the mythology of the West.

Narcissism is a complex and often deceptive issue, fundamentally rooted in lies that target the vulnerable. Narcissistic abuse traps individuals in a cycle of shame and confusion, and simply acknowledging its existence is not enough for recovery. This book aims to expose the core of the narcissistic personality and provide an inside-out strategy for healing and liberation. Whether facing narcissistic behavior from parents, partners, or colleagues, the insights offered will resonate. Readers will learn to recognize the psychological damage inflicted by narcissistic abuse, understand how shame is weaponized to instill inferiority, and grasp the dynamics that empower narcissists. The text delves into how narcissists manipulate identities and offers tools for disarming them by cutting off their supply. It also explores the shame/grandiosity continuum and its impact on self-esteem, as well as the psychological barriers that perpetuate abuse. The seven practices for recovery include building supportive relationships, rediscovering the true self, empowering personal growth, challenging psychological constraints, restoring balance in relationships, establishing boundaries, and disengaging from manipulators. Each practice fosters independence, emotional resilience, and the ability to cultivate healthy, passionate relationships. This journey equips readers with the skills to break free from narcissistic influence.

A poet who crafted the greatest character in literary history with his engaging anti-hero of Satan, and who connected personal experience with the breadth of cosmic epic, John Milton's Paradise Lost is a touchstone of English literature. In the latest entry in Ig's celebrated Bookmarked series, author Ed Simon considers Paradise Lost within the scope of his own alcoholism and recovery, the collapse of higher education, the imbecility of the canon wars, the piquant joys of labyrinthine sentences, and the exquisite attractions of Lucifer. Milton is easy to respect and easier to fear, but with the guidance of Simon, Milton becomes easiest of all to love. Paradise Lost may have generated thousands of works of criticism over the centuries, but none of them are like this.

V této otevřeně provokativní knize prověřuje přední okultní učenec Simon církví nepřiznaný vztah k zakázané magii. Zkoumá proslulý dokument ze 17.století - Grimoár papeže Honoria III.-, který je považován za jeden z nejďábelštějších okultních textů, Simon tak vnáší světlo i do nejčernějších koutů Vatikánu.

DIE TORE DES NECRONOMCON ist eine unschätzbare Ergänzung zum NECRONOMICON, mit dessen machtvollem Text jeder ernsthaft am Okkultismus Interessierte vertraut ist. In dem Vermächtnis des wahnsinnigen Arabers liegen die Geheimnisse der Ewigkeit, das verbotene Wissen von der unbekannten Welt der Dunkelheit.

Tento celosvětový bestseller se zapsal snad do všech odvětví lidské kreativity a skrze naši historii utvářel základy okultní mystiky, provázel spisovatele při snění o nadzemských Prastarých, vstupoval do textů písní a stával se předlohou pro filmy i počítačové hry. Žádný z jiných okultních grimoárů se nezaryl člověku pod kůži tak, jako Simonův Necronomicon. Kniha nabízí autorova podmanivá putování skrze prostor a čas, skrze brány do jiných dimenzí, aby v propasti nebytí uzřel pradávná božstva, která dřímají na okraji vesmírného spektra a vyčkávají na den své odplaty. Značné množství ryze rituálních praktik, popisných a přesných, střídají působivá drmolivá zaříkání, na nichž se velmi snadno stanete závislí. Samozřejmostí je i výroba různých magických pomůcek a dalších potřebných propriet, které vás budou provázet do propasti vlastního, značně se prohlubujícího šílenství. Esoterní Lože OLDM je jediným subjektem držící licenční práva k vydání této knihy v Česku, včetně nákresů magických pomůcek, sigilií a přidané Zaklínací knihy.
