The Serpent Grail
The Truth Behind the Holy Grail, the Philosopher's Stone and the Elixir of Life




The Serpent Grail tells of the existence of an ancient cult that worshipped serpents, was linked to early Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and paganism, and spanned continents. The central rite of this cult was to mix together snake blood and venom in a ceremonial bowl, forging a powerful healing elixir. The authors provide evidence that this rite holds keys to such persistent legends as the Elixir of Life and the Holy Grail itself. As the book unfolds, it examines the symbolism found in all great mystery traditions that involve a search for some ultimate truth or 'grail', offering a radical re-interpretation of world history. Uniting such ancient mysteries as the structure of the Egyptian pyramids, the secret of the Philosopher's Stone, and the existence of the lost city of Atlantis, The Serpent Grail reveals a powerful truth that has been buried for hundreds of years.

The Shining Ones
The World's Most Powerful Secret Society Revealed




The book is about a worldwide secret priesthood, who date at least as far back as 5000 years before Christ, and who have formed the modern world. All religions, all ancient monuments and all governments, including Royal lineages, have their background in the Shining Ones. With the coming of the Millennium, interest in the spiritual aspect of life has risen, while at the same time, church attendance is at an all time low. Instead, ancient Earth-aligned beliefs, in the guise of the New Age movement, are enjoying a rise in popularity. That there should be a return to ‘old ways’ is not surprising when we discover that these beliefs are not so outdated after all, that the practises denounced as pagan actually form the basis of ‘orthodox’ religions such as Christianity. Mankind is more in-tune with the Universe than we realise, and the cyclical nature of the Earth tells us that we are on the threshold of a new beginning. The world is waiting for a new Messiah to show us the way. Whether he or she comes from the religious arena, or the world of politics, one thing is sure: like the countless others who came before, this Messiah will have been nurtured, shaped and placed here by the Shining Ones.

Gnosis: The Secret of Solomon’s Temple Revealed



Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem has fascinated people for centuries and is reputed to be the source of the most esoteric knowledge in human history. Through his own involvement in secret societies and his tenacious spirit Gardiner has unearthed these Temple secrets. To the shadowy organizations such as the Knights Templar, the Temple was no mere building; its architecture held important symbolism and design elements that hinted at deeper spiritual truths. For generations scholars and researchers have tried in vain to discover the fabled Temple of Solomon, only to be confronted by one problem after another. All the problems raised by these disparate and often desperate people have now been fully answered and can be revealed to the world. From the Queen of Sheba to the arcane secrets of the Christian Gnostics; from the Muslim Sufi to the Hindu Avatars, this book weaves a tale so profound and so precise that it will re-write not only the history of this "Temple to the Lord", but will also bring to the world a new method of psychology. Gnosis discovers from the depths of ancient mystical language and secret societies that the truth of Solomon’s Temple has been known all along within the realm of esoteric understanding. The only question remains, is the world ready for the truth? The book also includes a massive Knowledge Directory at the end of the book, giving new insight on thousands of arcane myths.

The Ark, the Shroud, and Mary
The Untold Truths About the Relics of the Bible




Why do the Ark of the Covenant, Mary's reliquary box, and Jesus' Coffer all have the same imagery? Was the Ark the container of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments, or the Chalice? Does the image of the Shroud of Turin contain a bioelectric field? These questions and others will be explored in The Ark, The Shroud, and Mary. Author Philip Gardiner recently won the acclaim of both scholars and the reading public with The Serpent Grail, which united three of the most mysterious objects known to man -- the Grail, Elixir and Philosophers Stone. Now, in this unique and thought-provoking work Gardiner proves that the Ark of the Covenant, the Shroud of Turin, and Mary are united in ways never before imagined. Travelling across the world, from Rome to India, Portugal to Egypt, Gardiner uncovers the trail of the Ark and finds that it does not lead to Ethiopia, as many believe, but instead in a direction that nobody could have imagined. The trail of the Ark takes Gardiner on a hunt into the very heart of an ancient secret society with clandestine meetings in far-off lands. Uniting the myth, tradition, and language of the Ark with the Shroud of Turin, Gardiner then goes on to re-date it, reveal how it was made, and identify whose image it actually recreates. Through his new-found contacts in the world of secret societies, Gardiner then shows how this incredible secret was protected by a dual brotherhood throughout time and was the secret source of the enlightenment spoken of by numerous orders from the Sufis to the Knights Templar. The Ark, The Shroud, and Mary outshines The Da Vinci Code for the simple reason that it is the factual story of one man's fight to uncover the truth.
