VOYAGES IN KALEIDOSCOPE is a little dadaist style book which undeniably reveals the Great Work. It is a must for all those involled in some form of Inner Work or practical Qabalah - the journeymen who seek the uncharted realms, the maze with its own order and images in kaleidoscope. The book was originally published in French, in the autumn of 1919. Shortly after publication in Paris, all copies of the book were confiscated and pulped. A few copies were overseen. Translated into English for the first time, it is now offered through Inner Garden Press. Enjoy this poetic little novel.

ALCHEMY AND ITS MUTE BOOK. In the year of foundation in 2010, we published Br. Magaphon?s commentary on the Mutus Liber ? the Book Without Words. This year we offer commentary on the Mutus Liber from Magaphon?s friend and associate: Eug?ne Canseliet. Canseliet had a most pivotal role in the transmission of the alchemical tradition in Europe in the 20th century. Canseliet may perhaps only brush upon the innermost secrets of the book but still this book still offers a most formidable insight into the Visual Language of the Alchemists of old.
