Editorial Review Product Description In other words, people who came from Poland, Germany, Italy, and Greece, aswell as Jews from many nations, all became, by virtue of the "melting pot"ethic, "Caucasian" whites. But, as the graphically racist cartoonsreproduced in the book show, the creation of whiteness was--and is--by nomeans an easy, continuous process. Jacobson details the political assaulton white racism that culminated in the civil rights movement and cites thecontemporary "revival and denial of white privilege" in the United States.Although he expresses doubt that a dismissal of white privilege will happenanytime soon, he does hope that in "recognizing the historical fabrication,the changeability, and the contingencies of whiteness, we might begin tolook in a new way upon race, the power relations it generates, and thesocial havoc it wreaks." --Eugene Holley Jr. Customer Reviews (10)
What modern genetics says
fast and easy!
great racial history
How we got into this mess...
Excellent content analysis of a social construct.... Jacobson uses a variety of written sources to make his case --that "non-Anglo-Saxon immigrants and their children were perhaps the first beneficiaries of the modern civil rights movement." He has compiled evidence from many historical legal cases involving various individuals who attempted to establish evidence of "whiteness" in order to obtain U.S. citizenship or some other perq reserved for the "native white race." He points out that the legal evidence is conflicted. Are Armenians white or aren't they? How can Japanese with a white skin be nonwhite and Italians with a dark skin be white in one set of court proceedings and the reverse found in different courts on different days? Jacobson includes information from literature, news journals, and other written sources to illustrate that authors as diverse as Mark Twain and Joseph Conrad and Mr. Hearst of newspaper fame all offered an opinion about race at one time or another, and that while everyone started out assuming they knew what it meant to be white, most soon discovered the operational definition was another matter. There is not now nor ever has been a consensus on what it means to be white. I enjoyed Jacobson's book very much and I think it is an excellent qualitative analysis. However, I have a few concerns:1) Race is a contentious topic, but mixed race is even more troublesome. In 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau identified more than 60 race groups in the U.S.; While Jacobson alludes to this issue, he might have discussed it a bit more as it supports his idea that race is a nebulous notion; 2) In discussing the acquisition of civil rights, Jacobson makes the mistake many men make--Black men had the vote and basic rights many years before women of any color; 3) Jacobson begins his history with 1790 and assumes (as did many) that the so-called Anglo-Saxons were a monolithic group--they were not. The early settlers were a diverse lot from many nations and included landed gentry, endentured servents, and prisoners who worked side by side with slaves in Georgia and other colonial penal colonies until the Revolution. I have read that Jews funded the Revolotion, Poles and French trained the military (a highway in VA is named for general Pulaski); and that the first person to die in the Revolution was a free Black man named Crispus Attucks. 4) Jacobson starts the civil rights movement with the acceptance of "non-white" immigrants to "white" privilege, but evidence suggests that the U.S. Revolution was about the rights of the property owners or Aristocracy. Not until Andrew Jackson did the "common" man get the vote. Black men got the vote 30 years later and women got the vote in the 1920s although many rights were not accorded them until recently. The history of the U.S. is the history of the Civil Rights Movement for all human beings and as Americans we should be grateful for our rights. ... Read more |

good and informative
First Impressions First and foremost, this book is NOT remotely related to those revelations of the holy mysteries, which arose in the late 1950's, by the author Franz Bardon. The claim that Alchemy Unveiled explains "the secret of the philosopher's stone" for the first time, is - in my opinion - nothing but hype. The nature of the substance of the philosopher's stone has - in part - been described quite openly within other literature, by comparison with which, Alchemy Unveiled seemingly says nothing. The style in which Alchemy Unveiled is written, is one which is *only allegorical*. The content has almost no structure, and there is no index. Allegorical references are frequently accompanied by a multitude of alchemical synonyms, and historical quotes, which pad out much of the book. Helmond shows an extensive knowledge of alchemical writings, but whether he has any genuine mastery of practical laboratory work is questionable. It is difficult to imagine who could gain any practical clarity from this book, other than those who have studied old alchemical texts for most of their life. Contrary to other reviews here, Alchemy Unveiled is certainly *not* a suitable book for anyone looking for an introduction to alchemy. The whole book is obscure, and its text is dull, lifeless, and rather machine like. It has no beauty; no inner rhythm; no "writing between the lines". Considering alchemy's relationship to energies and forces of life, this is surely significant. Helmond makes alchemy appear impenetrably complicated, and his writing style actually isolates the reader from living nature. As wonderful information on *practical alchemy* was released long before Alchemy Unveiled was published in 1991, Helmond's level of obscurity is simply not justified. In addition, Helmond says nothing of plant alchemy, even though this is THE *practical* path towards understanding alchemical transmutations of matter. Anyone looking for a practical introduction to laboratory alchemy, will surely desire to know of the (online) material from the "Essentia Journal", and the Parachemy volumes of the "Paracelsus Research Society". Also, in my mind, there are a couple books standing far above all others that I have encountered. These writings *in combination*, are perhaps the finest *practical* guidance into the "secrets" of alchemical practice, in the world. They are: 1. Initiation Into Hermetics. (Franz Bardon). 2. Spagyric Tinctures - Tradition, Preparation and Usage. (Beat Krummenacher). The first book describes (in detail) the occult path by which the astral & mental senses are developed, so that the living energies within matter can be observed and studied and directed. The second book describes (in detail) the path to alchemically purifying plant substances. The possibility for taking things further is hinted at, and at this point individual exploration really begins.

Azoth revealed
Azoth revealed Also the explication of the 'mumia' of Paracelsus reveals it to be related to the etheric vehicle, and correlates to the mention of ectoplasm as being similar to the qualities of mercury (Kenneth Rexroth in the Intro to the Works of Thomas Vaughn). This helped me to better understand the vital matter I am extracting. Time of month and year, and freshness are important to preserve the inner etheric Fire. Small clues are all one who seriously pursues the Work can hope for. I found enough here to make this book a favorite. If you're looking for easy introductions to Alchemy (of the lab type), you're not ready for this book. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description In the Magdalen Manuscript, given by her and reprinted here, word-for-word as she gave it, she describes the alchemy that she and Yeshua practiced.This is the alchemy that prepared him to sustain life after death, so that he could meet his destiny and lay a trail of light through the death realms, a light path each of us can follow. This is Her Story, revealing some of the deepest secrets of the Temples, as requested by Isis. To this remarkable test, Tom Kenyon has added a comparison of the major streams of internal alchemy, plus an in-depth look at Egyptian High Alchemy and a clarification of the Alchemies of Horus.Judi Sion, at the request of Mary Magdalen, has added One Woman’s Story, which is every woman’s story.

A wonderful find.
Almost 5...Almost
worth reading just for the history and artwork
Very Enjoyable Many fascinating bits of information and illustrations make this an all-time favourite of mine.
An Art History of Occult Traditions---and vice versa... Fulcanelli's 'Mystery of the Cathedrals' & 'Dwellings of the Philosophers'---of which de Givry's catalogue is a pictorial companion-piece---is the only other work(s) which so affected the Artistic Advanced Guards between the World Wars to an immeasurable degree and literally unlimited extent, especially those working in a non-literary medium. For, the writers, both linear and poetic turned to the Occult Authors such as Eliphas Levi, or Paschal Beverly Randolph, or Paul Christian, and of course the Theosophical Madame, her big Russian self---and Steiner's Anthroposophist's...the list goes on & on. Occultist's/Occult Historians should find this book an immensely helpful anthology for use alongside such Classical scholars as the English dame Francis Amelia Yates' and D.P. Walker's works on the subject of Renaissance Hermeticism and both kinds of Magical professors. Or works dealing with any other era in European `Hidden History'. All in all, this is a highly informative and absorbing compendium of a wide variety of works that would find a good home in so many differing disciplinarian's studios! Also, the translation by J. Courtenay Locke is excellent, as de Givry's prose is always insightful and has an down to earth romantic quality imbuing it as a whole, allowing for some rather fantastic humor which the translator has indeed caught well. The book is published by DOVER PRESS in photo-facsimile (the best mass Paperback Publishers still around when it comes to quality and unbeatable prices! It was originally pub. by Houghton Mifflin Co. in 1931) and it therefore has a whiff of ages about it which confers upon it an antiquated sense of thumbing through a tome from a far distant time, making it seem even more of a miracle such a unique Art Historical work as this is still so readily available in the early days of century number MMI. Such an area of European Spiritual heritage has yet to be explored in any depth approaching the deeps which Grillot de Givry succeeds in delving to! As much as the Arts have a rich cultural heritage in Esotericism---so does Occultism have a long and flourishing tradition in the Arts; both are wondrous facets of a single fact this book documents well! I am surprised it is not more well-known? If you like gazing at works with a very Gothique edge; with a definitely Sublime terror about their subject matter, and executed by the European continental likes of Goya, Bosch, Brueghel, Cranach, Rembrandt, Van Der Weyden, etc...to Paracelsus, Magnus, Barrett, Fludd, Kircher, etc... & all variety of Faustian caricatures and outtakes from innumerable incunabular texts of both Literary and Goetic/Theurgical origins...This is a visual Feast that will ravage your visions after you go to sleep just as much as you will frequent the hellish sights within its pages! This book builds a bridge made to last, that many have already passed through...it should be a more frequented path in academia as well as independently trodden again, Amen! ... Read more |
