{"product_id":"of-cosmogonic-eros-2nd-editionby-ludwig-klages","title":"Of Cosmogonic Eros (2nd Edition)by Ludwig Klages","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiscover one of the greatest metaphysical masterworks on Eros as a cosmos-shaping, daemonic power.In Of Cosmogonic Eros, visionary philosopher Ludwig Klages seeks to fully restore Eros to its elemental dignity. This text strips away modern notions of sentimentality, romance, and mere physical desire, revealing Eros instead as a primal force of ecstasy, intoxication, and cosmic participation.For Klages, Eros is a power that shatters the fragile shell of ordinary consciousness. It merges the individual with the living, dangerous, and ensouled depths of the cosmos. Through this lens, the erotic transforms into a dedicated path of gnosis—a profound way of knowing through absolute rapture and surrender.This text bridges philosophy and occultism by exploring:Eros \u0026amp; Thanatos: Delve into the shared metaphysical field linking erotic ecstasy, death-consciousness, ancestral memory, and the Cult of the Dead.The Living Cosmos: Learn to view the universe not as dead matter, but as a radiant, dangerous reality humming with hidden, animistic powers.Erotognostic Spirituality: Discover a radical framework for practical mysticism that heavily influenced iconic thinkers and occultists alike.The Telesmatic Light: This definitive edition includes the first-ever English translation of selected talks by Alfred Schuler—magician, mystagogue, and central figure of the infamous Kosmiker-Kreis—shedding vital light on the occult atmosphere that birthed this text.Whether you are a practitioner of ancestral cultus, death mysteries, erotognostic spirituality, or German mysticism, this demanding yet deeply rewarding book offers a fierce challenge to modern disenchantment.Edition Details:Published by the prestigious Theion Publishing.The only authorized English translation, prepared in collaboration with Professor Paul Bishop (University of Glasgow).272 pages, printed on premium 115gsm wood-free paper.Features evocative black-and-white illustrations and archival photo reproductions with Surbalin endpapers.Cloth Hardcover: Bound in ruby-red fine cloth, gold-embossed cover, silk ribbon marker.
