Title A name given to the resource The Holy Grail: imagination and belief Description An account of the resource "Barber traces the history of the stories surrounding the Holy Grail, beginning with Chretien de Troyes, who in the twelfth century first imagined the famous scene in which a mysterious golden vessel adorned with jewels was paraded before the eyes of an untested youth. The author died before he could complete his tale, and the unsolved mystery of the Grail has haunted us ever since. By a long series of imaginative transformations, the grail has moved from the sphere of romance to religion, and in twentieth-century popular culture has become an emblem of mysticism and man's highest aspirations, intimately linked with the central ritual of the Christian faith."--Jacket.

Philp's view on Western Esotericism is reflected in an essay by the Greek classics, Gnostic scholar and theosophist, G. R. S. Mead (1863-1933). Mead outlined, in his March 1891 essay.* Mead outlines, in his 1891 essay, a broad based overview of the essential perennialism found in the Western Wisdom Traditions, including Greek philosophies of Plato, Pythagorus, pre-Socratics and Noeplatonism, Greek drama, mystery schools, mythology, Gnostic literature and Christian Mysticism, Hermetic philosophy and Alchemy, Jewish Kabbalah, Global Mythology, European folk religions and 'the nature of the soul and states after death'. Mead's view was to complement the study of the translations and promotion of the perennial wisdom from Asia, especially focused on India, which Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society were advocating and spearheading during the 1880's to 90's. Peter Philp, in his decades of perennial wisdom book study and collecting, with his ever growing collection, maintained this theosophic basis as its underlying paradigm and inspiration.

Title A name given to the resource Solomon's Temple: Myth and History Description An account of the resource he only up-to-date illustrated account of one of the most intriguing and influential buildings in history. The Temple of Solomon has been the focus of profound spiritual reverence for over three thousand years. From its Bronze Age antecedents in the portable shrines of nomadic tribes, through countless permutations in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the idea of the Temple of Solomon--a place of communion between God and man--has proven endlessly alluring. The sacred building itself was destroyed more than once, on the last occasion by the Romans in AD 70, yet the great church of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, the headquarters of the Templars, and numerous medieval cathedrals were all conceived as symbolic re-creations of Solomon's original. Medieval magicians practiced magic to harness the demons who were believed to have constructed the Temple, and mystics of all faiths had visions of a celestial Temple, mirroring that on earth, where divine secrets would be revealed. "Solomon's Temple" draws on holy texts and mystic writings, works of art and architecture, modern reconstructions, and photographs to reveal the myriad ways in which the Temple and the sacred ground on which it stood have inspired mankind through the ages.
