Hidden in deserts, buried in ruins, sealed in jars and whispered in secrecy - fragments of forbidden wisdom have survived for two thousand years.

From the Gnostic gospels and Hermetic tablets to the Orphic hymns, the Chaldean oracles, and the Dead Sea scrolls, voices long silenced speak again. They tell of exile and memory, of the spark within the soul, of fire that cannot be quenched, of shadows that conceal truth. These are not teachings of comfort. They are teachings of fire.

The Gospel of Shadows: Forbidden Wisdom of the Ancient World gathers these fragments into a single dark reflection. Here, the Demiurge is unmasked, Sophia mourns and redeems, the serpent becomes savior, the soul ascends through spheres of fire, and the black mirror reveals the truth of exile and return.
