NEW FROM DARK MOON
Promethean Flame
By Corvis Nocturnum.
Exploring the lineage of those who challenged dogmatic thinking, from
the Renaissance and our modern day, Promethean Flame delves deep into
religion, philosophy and the arts to explain the importance that the
challengers of the past still have on our future.
Covering everything from the earliest secret societies such as the
Templars and Chaos magicians to Rosicrucian, The Masonic Order, and
facts on fascinating key individuals such as Leonardo Da Vinci,
Napoleon Bonaparte, The Hellfire Club and Sir Francis Dashwood,all the
way up to to The Golden Dawn occultists, such as Arthur Edward Waite,
and Aleister Crowley. Corvis links the works of scientists and
creative thinkers like Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates to the cause. As
well the lives and works of a multitude of Decadent Romantics such as
Mary and Percy Shelly, Poe, and Lord Byro are examined. We peer into
the concepts of Friedrich Nietzsche, Ayn Rand, and others, broadening
our understanding of ourselves and the world we live in.
By explaining and drawing insight from popular films such as From Hell
and The Da Vinci Code and National Treasure, Corvis proves history
holds secrets both fascinating and worthy of our attention.

Promethean Flame reviews:
"Promethean Flame traces varied threads of free-thinking as practiced
by rampant individualists, sorcerers, rogues, and creators as well as
secret societies, also touching upon how their inextinguishable sparks
continue to impact our contemporary culture in both cinema and music.
It will kindle your desire to delve even more deeply into these
fascinating people."
~ Magus Peter H. Gilmore, High Priest, Church of Satan
"Promethean Flame is an excellent study into particular developments
of magickal practice and esoteric spirituality. With determination,
the author blends well-researched information about key figures known
for their involvement in free-thinking magickal spirituality, and
examines occult orders from ancient times to modernity, even
illuminating significant concepts by linking historical details to
modern cinema! From John Dee to Isaac Newton; from the Golden Dawn to
the Illuminati; from Zeus to Baphomet, Promethean Flame documents a
wide array of history pertinent to anyone immersing themselves in the
magickal arts, be they a Hermeticist, Ceremonial magician, Witch, or
esotericist."
