GDP Releases Maccabees, Zadokites, Christians, and Qumran: A New Hypothesis of Qumran Origins by Dr. Robert Eisenman

The staff of Grave Distractions Publications is happy to announce that we have published a classic work of biblical scholar Robert Eisenman. Not available since the 1980s, Maccabees, Zadokites, Christians, and Qumran: A New Hypothesis of Qumran Origins, Dr. Eisenman presents an original, ground-breaking work in which he criticizes the archaeology and paleography of Qumran as it had been developed by 'the specialists' up to that time. This text is now available in print with an eBook edition following in May.

Gloria Amendola's Mary Magdalene: Revelations from a First Century Avatar is now in print and eBook formats.

Gloria Amendola's third book, Mary Magdalene: Revelations from a First Century Avatar, is now available in print and eBook editions. In this text, Mary comes to life right before your eyes. Through the author, as a channel for her voice, Mary shares fascinating and intimate details of her early life, esoteric life, and walk with the master teacher and healer–known to us as Jesus. Through discussion of her gematria–an ancient form of numerology–the author makes a strong case for the true identity of this Mary. She is not who you’ve been told she was, but rather a woman of extraordinary spiritual power who would be considered, in her time, as the equal to Jesus. Mary then answers specific questions that were asked of her. She explains the differences between the fabled civilizations of Egypt and Atlantis, the Mystery Schools, the process of initiation into expanded awareness, and how we can begin to learn the ancient wisdom of the Mysteries. 

The Sketches of Ernest "Darcy" Chiriacka

We're happy to announce that we've published The Sketches of Ernest "Darcy" Chiriacka in conjunction with Santa Fe's Casweck Galleries. Chiriacka was a prolific artist and in the 1950's his work was featured in American Magazine, Collier's Magazine, Cornet, Argosy Magazine, Saturday Evening Post, and Esquire usually under the pen name "Darcy". The sketchbook represents some of Chiracka's work that has never before been published. Darcy was truly an American Master and this edition gives a glimpse into his creative process.

New from Bruce Brookhart, The Pattern a Guide to Edged Weapon Training

Bruce Brookhart developed a deep fascination of how swords where used historically at an early age. He began a lifelong study of history from the Copper Age to the Renaissance to discover the art of sword combat. As a natural extension of his love for edged weaponry, Brookhart was employed for 20 years by Museum Replicas Limited crafting fine reproductions of historic edged weapons.  
 
Throughout his 50 years of studying edged weapons, Brookhart hit upon a profoundly accessible method of training with edged weapons. For the first time, Bruce Brookhart shares The Pattern: A Guide to Edged Weapon Training.
 
This text is designed as a historical guide and for informational purposes only. Please act responsibly and legally where edged weapons are concerned.
