Pleasure Erased: The Clitoris Unthought
AU$20.00 Read MoreAdd to cartCatherine Malabou
Cambridge: Polity, 2022.“The clitoris was absent in anatomy books, in paintings and sculptures, absent in spirit and even body; it has long been the organ of erased pleasure. We assume that this oversight has been repaired in our times: today, the clitoris is not forgotten but honoured. Conferences, books, manifestos, works of art are all devoted to it. The autonomy of clitoral jouissance is recognized. The boundaries of feminism have also moved: queer, intersex and trans approaches claim that the clitoris is perhaps no longer the exclusive preserve of the woman. And yet, there remains a wounded space. Because genital mutilation is still common practice. Because millions of women are still denied pleasure. The clitoris continues to mark the enigmatic space of the feminine. Constrained by the extreme difficulty and the extreme urgency of returning to this scorched earth, it is time to give voice to an organ of pleasure which has still not become an organ of thought.” (publisher’s blurb) Translated from the French by Carolyn Shread.

The Great Alchemical Work of Eirenaeus Philalethes, Nicholas Flamel and Basil Valentine
AU$100.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRubellus Petrinus
Brisbane and Chiang Mai: Salamander and Sons, 2007.“The Great Alchemical Work is an important contribution to the study of alchemy. In the first English language edition of this ‘little work,’ Portuguese alchemist Rubellus Petrinus presents a sincere and invaluable guide to the operative laboratory tradition that gave birth to the Art of Hermes and its vast literature. Taking as his starting point the classic works of three well-known Adepts – Eirenaeus Philalethes, Nicholas Flamel and Basil Valentine – Rubellus offers aspirants a clear explanation of these highly cryptic, often deliberately misleading, texts. According to Frater Parush (A.H.S.), in his preface, “… the interested student will find herein one of the best publications now available of the accurate and proper understanding of some important pieces of classic alchemical cypher. Rubellus removes a good portion of the veil from over the works of Flamel, Valentine and Philalethes concerning the Great Work, and thereby opens the door to a wider understanding of other related literature.” Drawing upon his more than thirty years of discipline and experience, Rubellus generously shares his knowledge that has had “all that is superficial removed from it,” and daringly exposes the facts of the secret processes of the Art. The Great Alchemical Work features full colour plates with photographs of alchemical processes, products and equipment, along with rare reproductions of early woodcut versions of Basil Valentine’s famous Keys.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Revolution We Expected: Cultivating a New Politics of Consciousness
AU$25.00 Read MoreAdd to cartClaudio Naranjo
Santa Fe & London: Synergetic Press, 2020.“The Revolution We Expected presents a call for individual and societal transformation in order to rebuild and humanize our institutions and our communities to realize a post-patriarchal world and elevated consciousness as a global community. In his last work as an author, celebrated doctor and psychotherapist Claudio Naranjo uses The Revolution We Expected to make a final call to humanity to awaken to our collective potential and work to transcend our patriarchal past and present. The book presents a map that argues not only for collective individual awakening but a concerted effort to transform our institutions so that our educational and cultural lessons are in service to a better world. The author targets traditional education and our global economic system that increasingly neglect human development and must transform to meet the needs of future social evolution. He stresses the need for education to teach wisdom over knowledge and he suggests meditation and contemplative practices can help us realize new ways to learn. Ultimately, we need to embark on a collective process of re-humanizing our systems and establishing self-awareness as individuals to create the necessary global consciousness to realize a new way forward.” (publisher’s blurb)
