A color facsimile of hand-written and hand-illuminated PARABLES by Frater Kadosh. Many of these Parables were first published, without any illustrations, in the two Aions and the Collected Works of Frater Kadosh, published by J. Mead Publications in the 1990's to about 2001. This facsimile of the PARABLES includes the cover page with Frater Kadosh's facsimile signature and 45 pages of Parables. The pagination is from page 1 up to page 52, but there are some gaps or missing pages – parables that didn't meet the Fra's exacting standards for mystical pith and effect.
The SONGS FROM THE DIONYSIA celebrate the greatness of the Greek god of ecstatic states. The LEAVES are illuminated poems celebrating certain nodes of the turning year. There is again one 3-page gap in the pagination (pages 3-5) of the LEAVES. These are again color facsimiles of the originals.
