Originally published in 1969, this collection describes the symbolic content of stories: how they are linked to human experience and how they — along with our experiences — have changed over time. Throughout, Campbell explores the function of mythology in everyday life and the forms it may take in the future. Included are some of Campbell’s first groundbreaking essays: “Bios and Mythos” and “Primitive Man as Metaphysician,” both of which examine the biological basis and necessity for story and mythology, and establish mythology as a basic function or fact of nature. Campbell’s essay “Mythogenesis” turns from the natural and biological to the cultural and historical — the rise, flowering, and decline of a particular myth, a single American Indian legend. Campbell explores how the myth was born, as well as the personal experiences of the visionary medicine man through whose memory the myth was preserved\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Publishers red cloth boards with title along the spine, dust jacket remains unclipped ($7.50) with minor creasing along the spine and corner edges- jacket protected in mylar, \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rose Books \u0026 Obscurities","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44422190301341,"sku":"","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/9827\/4949\/files\/IMG_5032.jpg?v=1704409885"},{"product_id":"in-tune-with-the-infinite-signed-by-ralph-waldo-trine","title":"In Tune With the Infinite SIGNED by Ralph Waldo Trine","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Tune With the Infinite\u003c\/strong\u003e or fullness of Peace Power and Plenty by Ralph Waldo Trine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1933 The Bobbs-Merrill Company Third Printing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSigned neatly by Author on front free endpaper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorks signed by Trine are rare on the market\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author Ralph Waldo Trine was an American New Though philosopher and Animal activist. \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrine's spiritual views have been described as being a mixture of Buddhism, pantheism\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, spiritualism, transcendentalism\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Christian socialism, and neo-Vendanta philosophy.

It dates back to 1541, but the early version was rediscovered and reworked during the 18th century revival of interest in alchemical works in France. At the core of the emblem sequence is a strange meeting and merging of two figures. In other alchemical works, such as the \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRosarium philosophorum\u003c\/em\u003e, which is in fact contemporary with the early version of the Solidonius, this occurs through the figure of a hermaphrodite. Here we do have a meeting of male and female figures, but also a conjoining of two male figures. The idea being presented is the fusion of two polarised components. The work also incorporates the conventional sequence of alchemical colour changes.The text has been translated by Vincent Matley from the 18th century French version. It comments closely on the symbolism of the emblem sequence. The images have all been recreated in oil paintings by Adam McLean, which are facsimilies correcting the faded 18th century versions.

The book was printed on Alexander Japan, 100-point basis paper produced by Strathmore Paper Company. At the time of publication, the paper required to print these editions made the largest order of Alexander-Japan paper ever placed in America. The beginning of each chapter is adorned with dual-colored, specially cut Italian illuminated initials from the Renaissance period. The color plates on the 1928 editions were never reproduced with the same craftsmanship; each illustration was produced in full process colors—red, yellow, blue, and black. Some plates required special order colors, including gold and silver. The Heraldic Arms of Jesus Christ required eight colors to reproduce.

The work was published by the well known Rosicrucian publishing house of Lucas Jennis of Frankfurt. The 40 emblems, arranged in four 'decades', are an eloquent expressions of a meditative process centred upon a mystical contemplation of the heart of man. Each emblem has a title, a verse from the Bible, and two lines of explanation added below, but the symbolism of the engravings speaks for itself. We see the symbol of the heart undergoing various processes, experiencing certain aspirations or emotions, or being purified through spiritual and alchemical operations. It would seem that this emblem book was intended as a simple statement of the Rosicrucian philosophy in a form which could be grasped through imaginative working with symbols, rather than through abstract intellectual philosophy. As with many of the Rosicrucian books, it stood outside its time and seems not to have made a definite impact on the world of the early 17th century; however, the archetypal symbols still speak directly to us, even some 350 years later, and the content of these emblems remains a valuable tool for meditation.

However, the author adopts a much more mystical approach, suggesting that the wisdom of the text was revealed as a form of Divine Revelation, which he experienced through a “Visitation of Life” via the “Flying Roll.” The author states that the purpose of the book is to show the numerous points of agreement between science and Revelation, both of which he believes are imbedded in the structure of the Great Pyramid. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text is well-structured and offers many fascinating points, but it requires a certain level of western mystical speculation to be truly appreciated and engaged with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication:\u003c\/strong\u003e publishers red faux leather with title embossed to spine and cover, inscription by the author on the front free endpaper, small indintation to the head of spine, a clean copy, the book still contains the original addendum with corrections, tightly bound, in Very Good condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rose Books \u0026 Obscurities","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46808694128797,"sku":"","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/9827\/4949\/files\/IMG_9974.png?v=1748207344"},{"product_id":"the-phoenix-by-manly-p-hall-1","title":"The Phoenix SIGNED by Manly P.

It consists of 260 pages, including 54 full-page color illustrations and 200 additional black and white illustrations. The book was printed on Alexander Japan, 100-point basis paper produced by Strathmore Paper Company. At the time of publication, the paper required to print these editions made the largest order of Alexander-Japan paper ever placed in America. The beginning of each chapter is adorned with dual-colored, specially cut Italian illuminated initials from the Renaissance period. The color plates on the 1928 editions were never reproduced with the same craftsmanship; each illustration was produced in full process colors; red, yellow, blue, and black. Some plates required special order colors, including gold and silver. The Heraldic Arms of Jesus Christ required eight colors to reproduce.

Hall revealed “too much” about Freemasonry and that his knowledge of the subject; remarkable for someone only 22 years old, led to controversy. It is often repeated that Hall was later given an “honorary” Masonic degree and never wrote on the subject again. However, after speaking directly with the lodge it was confirmed that Hall did in fact pass through the regular degree process like any other candidate. The confusion arises from the term “honorary,” which is commonly associated with the 33° in Scottish Rite Masonry.
