Häxan (English title: The Witches or Witchcraft Through The Ages) is a 1922 Swedish/Danish silent horror film written and directed by Benjamin Christensen. Based partly on Christensen's study of the Malleus Maleficarum, a 15th-century German guide for inquisitors, Häxan is a study of how superstition and the misunderstanding of diseases and mental illness could lead to the hysteria of the witch-hunts. The film was made as a documentary but contains dramatized sequences that are comparable to horror films.

With Christensen's meticulous recreation of medieval scenes and the lengthy production period, the film was the most expensive Scandinavian silent film ever made, costing nearly two million Swedish kronor. Although it won acclaim in Denmark and Sweden, the film was banned in the United States and heavily censored in other countries for what were considered at that time graphic depictions of torture, nudity and sexual perversion.[

When ‘psychiatric illnesses’ turn out to be obsessing spirits of the dead…
Carl Wickland (Wiklund) was a Swedish born, professional American psychiatrist who turned away from conventional medical psychology and became convinced that many psychiatric illnesses were the result of the influence of the obsessive spirits of the dead. With the help of his wife and medium Anna W. Anderson, Wickland communicated with the spirits. These intriguing 83 sessions make up the bulk of the book Thirty Years Among the Dead. His conversations with, in most cases, confused spirits, who don’t even realize they are dead, are indexed in thematic chapters: Tormenting Spirits & Marriage Disturbances – Spirits and Crime – Spirits and Su***de – Materialism and Indifference – Selfishness – Orthodoxy – Spirits and Narcotics, Inebriety, Amnesia – Psychic Invalidism – Orphans – Christian Science – and Theosophy.

Wickland’s dedicated research, in combination with the excellent medium-ship of Anna, has resulted in one the most fascinating and taboo-breaking works on spiritualism and life after death-questions ever. Perhaps today the book is even more actual than it was in it’s publication year 1924. The mystery of death touches all of us, while, due to the intermingling of the modern rat-race, consumerism and internet-addiction, the general climate for the development of spiritual intelligence is worsening to levels that should concern all of us deeply.

5 Early Grimoires of The Olympic Spirits is the first publication in the series German Occult Manuscripts in Translation. The Olympic Spirits, also known as ‘Olympick Spirits’ or ‘Olympian Spirits’, constitute a group of seven occult entities that dwell between the angelic and demonic realms. They are documented in various Renaissance and post-Renaissance works on ceremonial magic. Like the planetary angels, they are all linked to a specific planet.

This is the first book that compiles various 16th and 17th-century occult documents centered around the Olympic Spirits to provide a deeper understanding from a magical and historical point of view. Three German grimoires, one ‘Olympic’ chapter from the Faust grimoires, and one original Latin manuscript published in Prague, are offered to you in English translation – including editorial notes, an introduction, and a planetary hours appendix.

These works are:
• Theosophia Pneumatica (1686)
• The German Arbatel de Magia Veturum (1686)
• Fausti Höllenzwang – Mirakel-Kunst und Wunder-Buch (1504)
• The Faustian chapter Die Pentacula derer Sieben Olympischen Geister (1505) containing beautiful deviant Olympic Spirits sigils
• The Latin Vera Atque Brevis Descriptio Virgulae Mercurialis (1532)

The latter is a rare magico-alchemical treatise on the Olympic Spirits.
