Introduction. THE CELTS. The Celtic tradition is one of the most recognizable elements of contemporary European culture, and it is also one of the mo t ancient. Celtic trad ition can trace it roots back over 2,700 years. The ancient Greeks gave the barbarian peoples who lived to the north of them the name K eltoi. Although the e central European Celts were not a genetically cohe rent ethnic group, or a political u nion, nevertheless they formed a specific, recogni zable culture, with shared elements oflanguage, religious beliefs and arti tic outlook. Around 650 BCE, the Celts were influenced by Greek and Etruscan culture, and, by adding and adapting these elements to the Hall tatt culture, the characteristically Celtic style of art came into being. T he first recogni za bly Celtic civili zation emerged around 500 BCE in northeast France and the middle Rhine, which is called the 'early La T cne period', after the place where the characte ristic artef:1cts of the period were discovered. Early in the fourth century BCE, the Celtic tribes expanded westwards into what is now France and the British Isles. They moved southwest into the Iberian penin ula, south into northern Italy and east through the Balkans into Asia Minor. <strong>...</strong></p>Pennick Nigel - Sacred geometryurn:md5:acd3c94922192185d2a34ade766503c52019-09-21T17:55:00+01:002019-09-21T16:56:07+01:00balderPennick NigelKu Klux KlanReligionSymbol <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Pennick_Nigel_-_Sacred_geometry.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Introduction. Man is the measure of all things, of being things that they exist, and of nonentities that they do not exist. Protagoras (c.481 - 411 B.C.). Geometry exists everywhere in nature: its order underlies the structure of all things from molecules to galaxies, from the smallest virus to the largest whale. Despite our separation from the natural world, we human beings are still bounded by the natural laws of the universe. The unique consciously-planned artefacts of mankind have, since the earliest times, likewise been based upon systems of geometry. These systems, although initially derived from natural forms, often exceeded them in complexity and ingenuity, and were imbued with magic powers and profound psychological meaning. <strong>...</strong></p>Marrs Texe - Mysterious monumentsurn:md5:656ff808b90264a70f833c8c9af26c0d2019-08-15T22:58:00+01:002019-08-15T22:02:01+01:00balderMarrs TexeFreemasonryKu Klux KlanRacialismSymbolUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Marrs_Texe_-_Mysterious_monuments.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Introduction. Architectural Colossus of the Illuminati. Architecture remained a chosen instrument for the perpetuation of the Grand Design-the building of the perfect world. -Manly P. Hall, 33º The Secret Destiny of America Architecture is prophecy…Architecture is destiny…Prophetic destiny! That is the soul-stirring discovery the reader finds revealed in the pages of Mysterious Monuments. This is no ordinary book. But then, the incredible secrets it unveils are not easily comprehended by ordinary men and women. The stunning realization that there is, in fact, an arcane group of global conspirators, whose monumental works of architecture are intended to advance a terrible dark and mysterious ancient religion, is breathtaking, indeed. Who can believe it? Who wants to accept it? What I document here is a simple, yet profound-even shocking-truth. The annals of history prove that the greatest of empires is distinguished by its architecture and monuments. Babylon had its fabulous hanging gardens and its fabled Tower of Babel. The Pharaoic dynasties of Egypt to this day are memorialized by the Great Pyramid and the sun-ascendant obelisk. Greece is remembered for its astonishing marble and stone temples, statues, thrones, and altars built in honor of astrologically influenced gods and goddesses who traversed the heavens, were observed riding chariots in the starry skies and populated the depths of the chaotic seas and fiery underworld. Rome, too, adopted a pantheon of astrological deities and presences, and built the most beautiful architecture in their honor. <strong>...</strong></p>Amorc - Secret symbols of the rosicrucians of the 16th and 17th centuriesurn:md5:7fa499f21beec96f0a76bfa18b6553942018-12-20T12:22:00+00:002018-12-20T12:24:00+00:00balderAmorcConspiracyDrugEconomyIsraëlJewRevisionismRosicrucianRothschildRussiaSymbolUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Amorc_-_Secret_symbols_of_the_rosicrucians_of_the_16th_and_17th_centuries.jpg" alt="" /><br />

For all poetry is in a sense memory: all art, indeed is a mnemonic gathering of the innumerable and lost into the found and unique. Fiona Macleod “From the Hills of Dream” 1901. Introduction. This is a book about the beauty, power and spirit of nature expressed through the ancient language of Celtic Art and symbol: the voice of the Folk-Soul. The Celtic Folk-Soul dances at the heart of a living tradition, representing the vitality of her people, their stories, their land and their memories, from the early tribes through to us today. An ancient thread weaves back through art, myth and poetry connecting us to a complex mysticism that expresses the interconnection and balance of all living things. Celtic Art speaks to us through an intricacy of symbol and form that enchants while it mystifies, and yet is somehow the perfect way to talk about that which is abstract, sometimes invisible, and yet so essential. Throughout the many challenges and migrations of the Celtic people, the Folk-Soul sings of the beauty of life, even within the darkness—perhaps particularly then. This is the language, the poetic key to the Mysteries, that is the source of my inspiration and journey as an artist. Organic Elements and concepts form the foundation of the chapters in this book, each of which evokes pivotal Celtic themes and the symbols and archetypes that represent them. My intention is for Celtic Folk-Soul to be enjoyed primarily on a visual level, with the text accompanying the artwork rather than the designs illustrating the written word. Each of the nine main chapters contains original illustrations and explanations of the symbolism found within them, with poetry and text giving background to the theme of each section. Chapters are represented by elemental symbols paired intuitively with metaphorical core concepts that occur throughout the Celtic tradition: Stone—mysteries, Wind—journey, Seed—fire. I have chosen these organic themes to evoke colors, textures and responses together with art and poetry, to express Celtic archetypes and symbols that resonate for us today. Each element within the book opens a window into the Celtic Folk-Soul—the door is our own imagination and creative experience. The Voice of the Folk-Soul is articulated through the language of artists, poets and storytellers: it is they who channel the knowledge of our ancestors. The old memory is kindled through the songs and prayers of the fishermen and farmers, mothers and weavers, the priests and poets. This rich, symbolic language contains the seeds of articulation from the early first peoples, and continues to evolve into our time. Exploring the roots of mythic artforms gives us insight into the heart of the culture from which they are drawn. Intricate spiral and interlacing patterns express the oneness of life within all forms, the visible and the invisible. Through myth and symbol the deeper truths are illuminated, leading us intuitively into the otherworldly realms of our psyche. <strong>...</strong></p>Andersen Hans Christian - Fairy talesurn:md5:bfd8c9863170815bc00a914b4ae3b2db2015-05-10T14:10:00+01:002015-05-10T13:14:53+01:00balderAndersen Hans ChristianEuropeGermanyHollywoodJewMythologyPropagandaScandinaviaSymbolUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Andersen_Hans_Christian_-_Fairy_tales.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Introduction. The Kabbalah, literally 'tradition,' that is, the tradition of things divine, is the sum of Jewish mysticism. It has had a long history and for centuries has exerted a profound influence on those among the Jewish people who were eager to gain a deeper understanding of the traditional forms and conceptions of Judaism. The literary production of the Kabbalists, more intensive in certain periods than in others, has been stored up in an impressive number of books, many of them dating back to the late Middle Ages. For many centuries the chief literary work of this movement, the Zohar, or 'Book of Splendor,' was widely revered as a sacred text of unquestionable value, and in certain Jewish communities it enjoys such esteem to this day. When Israel became an independent state, the Jews of Yemen, a remote and isolated principality in southern Arabia, immigrated almost to a man aboard the 'magic carpets,' as they called the airliners. They were obliged to abandon nearly all their belongings; but one object many had been unwilling to part with was their copy of the Zohar, which they have continued to study to this day. <strong>...</strong></p>Weston Warren - Father of liesurn:md5:dc01eab84084c6651cb0341c6cea32f62013-11-22T21:20:00+00:002013-11-22T21:22:56+00:00balderWeston WarrenFascismeFreemasonryJewKabbalahMagicRitualsRosicrucianSymbolTalmudYoga <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Weston_Warren_-_Father_of_lies_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface to the new edition. The serious reader may be aware already of the plan for a oneworld, super-government. The plan stipulates complete equality for all, that is, reducing every one to the same, lowest human level. Through intermarriage, all the races are to be homogenized, - like the milk with no cream, no savor. To preserve the appearance of individual and national freedom, a superficial form of democracy is being established in all lands; but the control will rest in the hands of the hidden, would-be world rulers. According to plan, religion which exercises a tremendous influence on human lives, is to be homogenized, too. The principal faiths today differ in their conception of God and what is right. Moreover, belief in God, and in truth, freedom, equity, is incompatible with the idea of complete equality, since this belief inspires men to develop their several, innate talents and to rise to higher planes. Hence, in order to homogenize religion, the plan would substitute for the Worship of God, the Worship of Man. The worship of man is rooted in many primitive cults. These appeal to the lower instincts, and engender hate, malice, deceit. They are the basis of occultism today. The following pages, first published nearly 30 years ago, attempt to show how some of these primitive faiths deify man, and how they have been embodied in modern esoteric structures. <strong>...</strong></p>Philippe Marie-Dominique - La symbolique de la Messeurn:md5:8b2d424e2c98c0d2ac5c5f9d97162cf02013-08-20T20:10:00+01:002013-08-20T19:11:04+01:00balderPhilippe Marie-DominiqueChristianismeSymbol <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Philippe_Marie-Dominique_-_La_symbolique_de_la_Messe_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Avant-propos. Ce bref ouvrage reproduit une conférence qui nous avait été demandée pour le Xe Congrès du Symbolisme (juin 1961). Il ne pouvait être question, dans les limites qui nous étaient fixées, de présenter en détail toutes les acquisitions récentes dans l’analyse des réalités symboliques, il fallait, au contraire, essayer d’en donner une grande vue d’ensemble. Ce qui aurait été faiblesse et pauvreté en d’autres domaines se trouve ici être une condition pour mieux saisir la signification et la véritable portée de ces réalités. Nulle part autant que dans les réalités d’ordre symbolique ne se vérifie cette loi que la perception des ensembles et des, correspondances commande l’intelligence des éléments. Le symbole, réalité complexe et synthétique, ne peut être saisie que dans un regard de synthèse. Peut-être, est-ce la raison pour laquelle on nous a pressé d’offrir au public la rapide esquisse que nous avions tracée ! Notre exposé comporte trois parties : I. D’un point de vue philosophique rappelons quelques notions essentielles au sujet du symbole et du symbole religieux. II. Dans une ligne qui est encore accessible à l’observation empirique et à la réflexion philosophique, nous évoquerons la forme biblique des nombreux éléments de symbolique religieuse, qui ont leur correspondance dans ta messe et s’y trouvent cristallisés, montrant ainsi comment récapitule de façon très spiritualisée et saisissante tous les gestes religieux de l’homme. III. Nous montrerons, enfin, la profondeur et le réalisme religieux que prend la symbolique de la messe pour le disciple du Christ, le croyant-chrétien, du fait que tous les éléments de cette symbolique évoquent un aspect réel du mystère personnel du Christ et que, pour lui, ce mystère est rendu réellement présent dans la messe. <strong>...</strong></p>Delooze Matthew - The Illuminati monuments of Paris exposedurn:md5:84c4ba8d2d442a09c711775ee8760be12013-07-27T00:30:00+01:002013-07-27T00:30:00+01:00balderDelooze MatthewParisSymbol <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Delooze_Matthew_-_The_Illuminati_monuments_of_Paris_exposed_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The busy Champs-Élysées at night, during the Winter Solstice, showing the Arc de Triomphe. It was a far cry from the dog shit laden streets of Lancashire where I had travelled from that was for sure. It soon became apparent to me that the monuments were indeed in a ‘dead’ straight line but something hit me straight away as I strolled down the Champs-Élysées in daylight and it was not in the David Icke You Tube clip linked earlier.What is it? You might ask? ... Well my little bunch of eager truth seekers it was a walloping great big massive Ferris wheel. Yes they have plonked one, on and off, smack in the middle of the Champs-Élysées (Place de la concord) behind the famous 3000 year old obelisk that is originlly from a Sun Temple in Luxor, Egypt. <strong>...</strong></p>Schwaller de Lubicz René Adolphe - Esoterism and symbolurn:md5:6d3fc3302c6f635c941f4dab0506fe6d2013-07-15T17:36:00+01:002013-07-15T16:43:44+01:00balderSchwaller de Lubicz René AdolpheSymbol <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Schwaller_de_Lubicz_Rene_Adolphe_-_Esoterism_and_symbol_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

If it were otherwise, writings such as the Egyptian Pyramid Texts, the Vedas and Upanishads of India, China's Tao Te Ching, the Genesis of Moses, the Gospels, the Revelations, and others, would have to be thought of as colossal mystifications. It is inconceivable that scholars, philologists, theologians, and, in general, all those interested in the history of this world, should not as yet have understood the importance of the Pyramid Texts. No other scriptural texts, preserved and transmitted across the millennia because of their sacred nature, have reached us intact in form. Various transcriptions, translations, and commentaries, if they have not altered the fundamental meaning, at best leave room for doubt as to the original form, which is precisely the vehicle for esoterism. <strong>...</strong></p>Rhome Harrell - An alternate view of world history and global end times doctrines from an Indo-Aryan perspectiveurn:md5:266eb71779780b60a901865230297c1c2013-03-12T15:20:00+00:002013-03-12T15:20:00+00:00balderRhome HarrellMythologySymbol <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Rhome_Harrell_-_An_alternate_view_of_world_history_and_global_end_times_doctrines_from_an_Indo-Aryan_perspective_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

THE BASIC, PRIMORDIAL, TRADITIONAL SYMBOLS and archetypes of the Indo-Aryan spiritual mythos are part of a body of knowledge, dating back eons, revealed to initiates and sometimes called the ancient mysteries. The deepest roots of these hoary traditions trace directly to the Indian subcontinent, the cultural-spiritual “hive” as Godfrey Higgins called it, the nest and seedbed that brought forth many of the great civilizations and religions of the world. Among the ideas in this wealth of material is that world history is cyclical in nature, broken down by the ancient mystics and gurus into various ages or kalpas. Each rotation of the cycle is accompanied by certain cultural and spiritual developments. This is, of course, rather different from the traditional Western view of history as mostly linear and progressive (albeit with occasional setbacks, times of stagnation and dark ages). <strong>...</strong></p>Great Books of the Western World - Volume 02 The great ideas Iurn:md5:f501b004aa69e3249a0738682b72d9142012-12-26T13:30:00+00:002012-12-26T13:30:00+00:00balderGreat Books of the Western WorldEuropeMetaphysicsReligionRevolutionScienceSlaverySymbol <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Great_Books_of_the_Western_World_-_Volume_02_The_great_ideas_I_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

By calling this work "a Syntopicon of Great Books of the Western World," the editors hope to characterize its nature, to indicate the function it performs in relation to the set as a whole, and to assert its originality as an intellectual instrument. The relation of these two volumes of The Great Ideas to the rest of the set is the key to the nature of the Syntopicon and its originality as an instrument. Apart from this relation, The Great Ideas, though to some extent readable in itself, does not perform the function for which it was created-to show that the 443 works which comprise Volumes 4 to 54 can be seen and used as something more than a collection of books. The great books are pre-eminently those which have given the western tradition its life and light. The unity of this set of books does not consist merely in the fact that each member of it is a great book worth reading. A deeper unity exists in the relation of all the books to one tradition, a unity shown by the continuity of the discussion of common themes and problems. It is claimed for this set of great books that all the works in it are significantly related to one another and that, taken together, they adequately present the ideas and issues, the terms and topics, that have made the western tradition what it is. More than a collection of books, then, this set is a certain kind of whole that can and should be read as such. The Great Ideas results froni and records such a reading of the great books. The aim of this "syntopical reading" was to discover the unity and continuity of western thought in the discussion of common themes and problems from one end of the tradition to the other. The Syntopicon does not reproduce or present the results of this reading in a digest to save others the trouble of reading the great books for themselves. On the contrary, it only lays down the lines along which a syntopical reading of the great books can be done, and shows why and how it should be done. <strong>...</strong></p>Great Books of the Western World - Volume 03 The great ideas : IIurn:md5:ff4e99bba3987f1a8a60f9e6891eac9c2012-12-23T20:25:00+00:002012-12-23T20:50:14+00:00balderGreat Books of the Western WorldEuropeMetaphysicsReligionRevolutionScienceSlaverySymbol <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Great_Books_of_the_Western_World_-_Volume_03_The_great_ideas_II_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

WHETHER or not the proper study of mankind is man, it is the only study in which the knower and the known are one, in which the object of the science is the nature of the scientist. If we consider every effort men have made in response to the ancient injunction "know thyself," then psychology has perhaps a longer tradition than any other science. But by a stricter conception of science, more is required than individual insight or self-consciousness. Definitions, principles, analyses applicable to all men must be established, and it has been questioned whether the method of introspection suffices for this purpose. What methods should be used by the psychologist dependS in part upon the precise object and scope of his inquiry. According as different subject matters and different methods define psychology, there seem to be several disciplines bearing that name, each with its own tradition in western thought. In one conception, psychology begins with the dialogues of Plato and with Aristotle's treatise On the Soul. As Aristotle's title indicates, and as the Greek roots of the word "psychology" connote, the soul rather than man is the object of the science. Anthropology, Kant later suggests, would be a more appropriate name for the science of man. The Greek inquiry into the soul extends, beyond man, to all living things. It is because "the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life," Aristotle writes, that "the knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature." Nevertheless, psychology for the Greeks is principally concerned with the study of man. The analysis of the parts or faculties of the human soul is an analysis of the properties of human nature-the powers which man has and the characteristically human acts or functions he can perform. The methods by which this analysis is developed are, for the most part, the same methods which the Greek philosophers use in physics. "The study of the soul," Aristotle writes, "falls within the science of Nature. " The definitions of the psychologist, like those of the physicist, give "a certain mode of movement of such and such a body (or part or faculty of a body) by this or that cause and for this or that end." In the case of the human soul, however, the psychologist can employ a method not applicable to other things. The human intellect is able to examine itself. Mind can thus know things about mind which are not otherwise observable. The subject matter of psychology narrows somewhat when, at a later moment in the tradition, the study of mind tends to replace the study of man. This narrowing takes place gradually. Though Descartes identifies soul with mind or intellect, he treats of the passions and the will as well as thought and knowledge. Differing from Descartes with regard to body and soul, Hobbes and Spinoza also give as much attention to the emotions as to ideas and reasoning. But with Locke, Berkeley, and Hume there is an increasing tendency to analyze the contents of consciousness and the acts of the understanding, treated exclusively as a faculty of thinking or knowing. Where in the earlier tradition the observation of human behavior and the behavior of other animals appears to be useful in psychology, here the main source of psychological knowledge seems to be introspection. <strong>...</strong></p>
