Custodians Of Truth
A curious thing happened to Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins when they published Rex Deus, their first book on the bloodline of Christ: they were contacted by a man from the very lineage they were studying. And instead of denying the existence of the bloodline or berating them for revealing secrets, he actually confirmed that the Rex Deus lineage exists and even disclosed some of its fundamental secrets. The story of the Rex Deus families, direct descendents of Christ--who is believed to have survived the crucifixion?turns out to be much more extensive than the authors first thought. Instead of beginning during the time of Jesus, it stretches far back into antiquity, to the Egyptian My...
The Surgeon and the Shepherd
"In 1942, in coordination with the Belgian resistance, Schepens stage-managed a highly secret information and evacuation service through the counterfeit operation of a backcountry lumbering enterprise. This book traces Schepen's gradual transformation from an apolitical young ophthalmologist into double agent "Jacques Perot," and his emergence in the postwar period as a modern folk hero to the residents of Mendive. Woven into the account are the stories of a remarkable international cast of characters, most notably the Basque shepherd Jean Sarochar, regarded as a local misfit, with whom Schepens formed his most unlikely partnership and an enduring friendship.".

Le Duc d'Épernon
Jean-Louis de Nogaret de La Valette, duc et pair d’Épernon, colonel-général de l’Infanterie, grand amiral de France, gouverneur de plusieurs grandes provinces et places militaires, servit pendant 72 années, de l’âge de 16 ans à sa mort à 88 ans, six monarques : Charles IX, Catherine de Médicis, Henri III, Henri IV, Marie de Médicis et Louis XIII. C’est dire s’il a marqué l’histoire de France ! Henri III, dont il fut le favori, l’appelait «son fils aîné», Henri IV «son ami», Marie de Médicis «son sauveur». Guez de Balzac, qui fut l’un de ses gentilshommes, écrivait avec emphase qu’il était «quelque chose de plus que le grand Turc, le grand Khan et le grand Mongol». Selon Brantôme, il inspira à ses contemporains une crainte superstitieuse : «Vu les hasards qu’a courus M. d’Épernon, il y a plusieurs gens qui ont opinion qu’il soit fée ou qu’il ait un démon ou un esprit familier qui le garde…» Constructeur du château de Cadillac, ce personnage de cape et d’épée eut ainsi une existence extraordinaire.
Propaganda and Persecution
Renée Poznanski's magisterial history of the French Resistance during World War II offers a comprehensive exploration of the most significant issue in that period's social imaginary: the "Jewish question." With extraordinary nuance, she analyzes the discourse around Jews and Judaism that pervaded the Resistance's propaganda and debates, while closely examining the fate of Jews under Vichy and after. Poznanski argues that Jews in France suffered a double persecution: one led by the Vichy government, the other imposed by the Nazis. Marginalization and exclusion soon led to internment and deportation to terrifying places. Meanwhile, a propaganda war developed between the Resistance and the off...
Hidden Wisdom
From Egyptian mythology to Jewish mysticism, Rome and Greece to the druids and the gnostics, Tim Wallace-Murphy exposes a fascinating lineage of hidden mysteries and secret societies, continuing through the Templars, Rosicrucians, and Freemasons to our modern visionaries. This hidden stream of spirituality and that of sacred knowledge are inseparably entwined to form the single most important continuous strand in the entire Western esoteric tradition. This tradition exerted a seminal influence on the thinking of the builders of the great cathedrals; leading teachers in ecclesiastical schools; philosophers; playwrights; poets such as Shakespeare, Goethe, Blake, and W. B. Yeats; and on artists...
