RELEASE | Lost Books of Merlyn Stone, Secrets of a Teenage Sorcerer

[nabu]

Best known for the publication of the “Sorcerer’s Handbook of Merlyn Stone“ several other less circulated underground publications were released by the teenage prodigy writing as “Merlyn Stone” before disappearing from the public occult scene into the underground in 2001.

With his reappearance as Joshua Free, the Nabu of the modern “Mardukite” Anunnaki movement, there has been a resurgence of interest into the previous and ‘forgotten’ works of “Merlyn Stone” that have led up to his now prolific literary career!

“Lost Books of Merlyn Stone“ returns to the original in-house productions created for the underground movements known as the Mystics of the Earth, Draconis Celtic Lodge of Druids, Elven Fellowship Circle of Magick and Order of the Crystal Dawn during the 1990′s.

The innovative and experimental work found in “Lost Books of Merlyn Stone“ from the young teenage sorcerer did not reach the surface world in other forms and includes secret rites of initiation and methods of apprenticeship, illuminati magick and the practical use of energy in ways not typically observed in the conventional “New Age.”

Celebrating its 13th Anniversary, the “Sorcerer’s Handbook of Merlyn Stone“ – the original cult classic returns after thousands of copies have reached circulation from the underground!

Quote:During the 1990′s the public interest in ‘magick’ and the ‘occult’ doubled – if not tripled or even quadrupled, exponentially rising to new heights that few could have anticipated. The amount of “New Age” material being published soared – the companies and creators that produced them had the ability to, for the first time in contemporary history, develop significant and legitimate income based on the “New Age.”

Now, someone reading this is going to quickly argue about all of the developments that they may have experienced in the 1960′s, and further still, we have the blossoming of occult lodges that became publicly visible during the turn of the 20th century – factions such as the Golden Dawn and hermetic schools of Theosophy that are now over 100 years old in their founding. I am certainly not going to deny the existence of these things – but lets face it, the occult revival has only just recently passed its infancy, and that is why it has had so many growth spurts, though it still exists to simply test its own limits and get a feel for its skin… While this is all changing now, existing in an ever-shifting face of reality.

I appeared on the “New Age” scene, however much ‘underground’ in 1995 as “Merlyn Stone.” As I have explained to others and in my recent autobiographical narrative, Nabu Speaks!, the name was chosen for personal reasons and not as a tribute to the female author (Merlin Stone) of whom I had not even heard of at that time.

The name “Merlyn” is not really a proper name, although it has been used to refer to particular figures (or a figure) in history, it is actually a title – a Welsh title – that can be best equated to what you might know as a seer or prophet. The contemporary reader may be more familiar with the Judeo-Christian religious context of the title, which in Hebrew is nabih, derived from the Babylonian name: Nabu.

I prefer the semantic of the seer, because to the modern mind, this idea of “prophet” is probably going to be lost on people – raising defenses unnecessarily and causing the messages to be lost. For that matter, I would prefer the concept of a messenger who is simply carrying a certain message as opposed to a prophet who is privy to unique and secret information that no one else is in possession of. While the later may be true to a certain extent, such might also apply to all people and times.

During only the three decades of my current existence in the physical realm I have watched as “crystal healers” went from working in basements in the 1980′s to having fully leased and store-fronted offices. I have watched as the thousands who once only reserved themselves to secluded monthly meetings and the study of books in closets by candlelight now wear their full regalia in public places reserved for large festivals and parades.

Don’t get me wrong – I understand that many of you have endured suffering still to this day for your inclinations toward a “mystical,” “occult” or otherwise “pagan” living philosophy. There are still more who are unable to exist in this freedom I have just described, worried for the very real repercussions and animosity that can come from work or family – lives in this system can be lost or laid to ruin. Believe me, I fully understand. But… times are changing still.
