The Zelator

Lesley Pearse has three daughters and lives in Bristol.  She is now a full-time writer.  Her most recent novel, Trust Me, was a Top Five paperback bestseller.

THIS BOOK REVEALS THE CONSPIRACY BY LEONARDO, NEWTON, GOETHE AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE INITIATE TRADITION TO INFLUENCE THE COURSE OF HISTORY BY MAGIC. From the dawn of history and perhaps beyond a small group of magi working within a specific magical tradition have believed they have been influencing the course of history, guiding mankind towards higher levels of consciousness. Theirs is a reincarnationist philosophy and they believe that, as initiates of the highest order, they return in local groups at key moments to conspire to change the course of events. Whether or not their beliefs are right, whether or not their magical practices work in the way they believe, this book will prove that certain remarkable individuals, many of them famous in other areas, have undoubtedly held these beliefs. Bestsellers such as HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL and THE TOMB OF GOD have been written by amateur historians trying to penetrate the veil of secrecy that surrounds this conspiracy; here for the first time an initiate of the order reveals the truth.

A Study of the Two Jesus Children in Literature and Art

The Two Children

A complete history of the modern world from the occult point of view.

David Ovason  has published three books in the arcane field.  The Nostradamus Code, has been hailed as a masterpiece of its kind. The Zelator, presents the fascinating autobiography of the magus, Mark Hedsel. The Secret Zodiacs of Washington is his most recent book

Ovason takes a well-known image or turning point in each successive epoch of modern history and shows that our understanding of what lies behind it is completely wrong. Moreover he reverses the general assumption that these epochs, e. g. Renaissance, Age of Reason, Romantics, the Industrial Revolution, were essentially secularising, materialising movements, by revealing the spiritual impulses behind them. Topics include the astrology in medieval churches, what Joan of Arc did for England, the shadowy 'superior' who instrcued both John Dee and Francis Bacon, the evil infiltration of Masonic lodges that gave rise to the French Revolution and why Nazis showed the swastika spinning backwards.

The Book Of The Eclipse

David Ovason has published numerous books in the arcane field. His first, a study of the secret texts of the French prophet, Nostradamus, The Nostradamus Code, has been hailed as a masterpiece of its kind. His second work, The Zelator, presents the fascinating autobiography of the magus, Mark Hedsel - a personal story which tells of the tribulations and triumphs experienced by a man who sought initiation in the modern world. More recently he has written Nostradamus: Prophecies for America, The Secret Symbolism of the Dollar Bill and The History of the Horoscope.

As David Ovason shows, eclipse have always marked turning points in history and in the lives of individuals: the foundation of Rome, the crucifixion, the saving of the live of Christopher Columbus, the foundation of Washington DC, the death of Diana, Princess of Wales and even the future fall from grace of President Clinton are among Ovason's many examples. Ovason also shows how stone circles were linked to eclipses and how these events have always been supposed by initiates to create shadow-tunnels into the spiritual world, allowing special possibilities of communication with the spiritual world.

The Medieval Code of the Master Revealed in the Age of Computer Science

The Secrets Of Nostradamus

*The occult symbolism - and therefore the true prophecies of -Nostradamus translated for the first time

Walker argues that previous translations have got it wrong, because they have failed to realise that Nostradamus was writing in an esoteric language called the 'green language'. Where previous translations have seemed to stretch a point to make a quotation fit an historical event, Walker reveals the prophet's true prophecies regarding the American and French revolutions, the Franco-Prussian, First, Second, and Third world wars, earthquakes, floods, the Anitchrist and the end of the world. Properly seen, Walker argues, Nostradamus is the greatest Western prophet to commit his prophecies to writing since the Old Testament.
