Collected here are three short stories by W. B. Yeats: "Rosa Alchemica", "The Tables of the Law", and "The Adoration of the Magi". All three of these esoteric stories feature the character of Michael Robartes (as well as the character of Owen Aherne in the second two tales), and though it may seem obvious that it's this character that connects all of these tales, what really connects them all is Yeats imagining the hidden, mystical fraternities of old tradition which preoccupied much of his writings and which he personally longed for initiation into.

Aleister Crowley left behind a literary legacy of hundreds of examples of his authorship, in nearly all categories of writing. Collected here is a sampling of those writings. Included are the pieces: The Message of the Master Therion, The Glow Worm, The Stratagem, The Magick Cup, Liber Resh, The Sabbath, The Cry of the 12th Aethyr which is Called LOE, Absinthe: The Green Goddess, Liber Porta Lucis, Apollo Bestows the Violin, The Soul of the Desert, The Opium-Smoker, Baphomet, The Drug, Liber A'ash, The Dangers of Mysticism, The Rosicrucian and The Law of Liberty.

Renowned esoteric author Manly P. Hall examines worldwide and age-old myths and symbolism of various creatures across the globe. The creatures inhabiting the water, air, and earth were held in veneration by all races of antiquity. Realizing that visible bodies are only symbols of invisible forces, the ancients worshiped the Divine Power through the lower kingdoms of Nature. Fishes, insects, animals, reptiles, and birds appear in the religious symbolism of nearly all nations, because the forms and habits of these creatures and the media in which they exist, closely relate them to the various generative and germinative powers of Nature, which were considered as prima-facie evidence of divine omnipresence.

In 1923, Achad published an edition of only 220 copies, of a series of hymns or poetic devotions, in a manner slightly reminiscent of Crowley's own emphatic style, aimed at adoring the Egyptian goddess Nuit (the number 220, being intended to align with the number of verses in Crowley's own Book of the Law). Achad titled his own book, Thirty-One Hymns to the Star Goddess. The goddess Nuit features prominently in the first chapter of the Book of the Law, and the many quotations attributed to the Star-Goddess in Achad's small collection have been taken directly from the Book of the Law.

The Smoky God is a classic tale of the genre of subterranean literature. A favorite of Amazing Stories publisher Ray Palmer, the Smoky God is the (purportedly true) tale of two Norwegian fishermen, Jens and Olaf Jansen, who sailed their fishing vessel into the Inner Earth, in the year 1829. While in the center of the Earth, they meet a race of advanced giants. Eventually the father and son leave, and Olaf tells his tale, many decades later.

Florence Farr was an actress, writer, a first-wave feminist of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as an active member of the British occult community who regularly worked with her male counterparts in the fields of esoterica, being an initiate of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
