The Magical World of Merlyn Stone Returns — Deluxe Editions of 20th Century Occult Classics

Return to the magickal world of “Merlyn Stone” with the new 2023 deluxe edition anthology reissues of 20th Century underground occult classics!

Here is the complete works of Joshua Free — while writing as “Merlyn Stone” in the 1990s — collected in two deluxe oversized hardcover volumes:

MERLYN’S COMPLETE BOOK OF MAGICK: A TREASURY OF SORCERY, DRUIDISM & WITCHCRAFT
including: The Sorcerer’s Handbook, The Witch’s Handbook, and The Druid’s Handbook in one volume.

and

MERLYN’S COMPLETE BOOK OF PHERYLLT: THE LOST SECRETS OF DRUIDIC TRADITION
including: The Draconomicon and Draconomicon (Volume 2): The Pheryllt Researches

Celebrating 25 years since the original “Sorcerer’s Handbook” of Merlyn Stone; and 20 years since the small-print commercial reissue of Merlyn’s Magick.

The complete underground 1990’s magickal legacy of “Merlyn Stone” lives on!

Joshua Free’s personal notebooks and privately released 1990’s “Book of Shadows” of 20th Century New Age Magick are united — restored and revised — now in one deluxe tome for the first time ever! What originally began as journals and personal grimoires of a young teenage magician later evolved into foundations for a literary profession and lifelong career as an underground mystic philosopher, spanning more than a quarter-of-a-century and over 50 other books!

A practical occult treasury of the magickal arts of sorcerers, druids and witches!

“Merlyn’s Complete Book of Magick: An Occult Treasury of Sorcery, Druidism and Witchcraft” is the perfect addition to your esoteric magick library and makes an excellent companion to other Master Edition anthologies by Joshua Free, such as “The Great Magickal Arcanum” and “Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism.” His original 1990’s “Merlynomian Tradition” predates these other compilations, the Mardukite Research Org and Systemology Society by a decade or more — earning him an underground cult following (literally and figuratively) of several hundred individuals while still a teenager.

A ‘Grade-I’ fast-track crash-course for the Mardukite Academy!

Even after over twenty years, original materials developed by Joshua Free (while writing as “Merlyn Stone”) remain the cornerstones for Mardukite Academy “Grade-I” Merlyn School of Magick and Druidry. Communication of the material has continued to evolve in such a way that in decades past, attempts at compiling a definitive “Merlynomian” anthology all fell short of the scope and concise accessibility of what is achieved with this 20th Anniversary presentation of “Merlyn’s Magick,” enlarged and enhanced using the most recent up-to-date revisions combined with original documents.

Invite the legendary archetype of “Merlin-the-Magician” into your life with this concise, yet wide-encompassing, 550-page masterpiece of practical magick, druidry and witchcraft, suitable for newcomers and adept alike.

This special 25th Anniversary oversized hardcover Deluxe Edition commemorates completion of the “Draconomicon” and “Pheryllt Research” cycle of ‘Merlyn Stone’ material in 1998, revised and restored to make a prized addition to your personal esoteric library.

Come and initiate yourself to the Ancient Mystery School and venture on a progressive journey through the Dragon Legacy and Druidic Secrets — beginning in the depths of the Primordial Abyss and primeval birth of the “Great Cosmic Dragon” and following through the many millennium of secret knowledge carried to the present age…and the future!

The Pheryllt Legacy is an important and integral part of the history and traditions of all cultures, and subsequently underlies all cultural magical traditions — not to mention symbols and motifs that lie beneath the development of human civilization as a whole. Nothing is separate. And this is one of the lessons we learn from The Dragon — that everything is connected together and we cannot see things in exclusion to other things if we are to see things, with Self-honesty, for how they truly are — another gift of The Dragon.

Whether you are simply curious, or seeking to explore deep teachings that may incorporate “dragons” and “druidry” into your spiritual and magical systems, the “Draconomicon” and “Pheryllt Researches” combined in Merlyn’s Complete Book of Pheryllt represent the invisible hand behind a quarter-of-a-century modern occult evolution, and has sparked hundreds of traditions.

Many antiquated scholarly references to the “Books of Fferyllt” or the “Pheryllt” themselves may be found by a diligent scholar (many of which are paraphrased in this special anniversary collector’s edition of “The Pheryllt Researches”). Whatever bits trickle down from classical literature and antiquarian druidism to satisfy a modern thirst for the ‘pheryllt paradigm’ have been collected together in one place – a sacred book once thirded in former presentations of a ‘Pheryllt Trilogy’ by Joshua Free and are now made whole — forming a complete source book of undefiled mystical lore.

Whatever name, guise, or title we might attribute to this work as the proverbial ‘Body of the Dragon’ — and we have chosen “Pheryllt” — this same lore (originally accessible to very few with small networks) serves as basis for the majority of Celtic and neo-Druidic revival of the past few centuries, not to mention other forms of ‘neo-paganism’; whether or not it has received its due credit as such by those borrowing liberally from it.

Hidden in the depths of the Dragon’s Lair is an untold legacy of knowledge and power, secret societies and bloodlines, cults and symbols encompassing our entire material existence–and the means by which it can be controlled. It is quite possible this is among the best kept secrets in the history of occultism, even enshrouded in a cacophony of grand conspiracies. And in its most ancient forms, it is the undefiled, raw and primordial Truth of things — just as we would expect the Druids, wizards and sages of old to understand them. And with true understanding, comes true wisdom.

“DRACONOMICON” & “DRUID’S HANDBOOK” BY JOSHUA FREE

After twenty years, one of the most controversial themes present in Druidic writings by Joshua Free is about to become common textbook knowledge!

COMING SOON! LUGHNASSADH 2019!
Two long-lost underground classics by Joshua Free return!
:: Draconomicon: The Book of Ancient Dragon Magick ::
:: The Druid’s Handbook: Ancient Magick for a New Age ::

Rewritten, revised and updated hardcover anniversary editions!

[This blogpost is an excerpt from the foreword by Rowen Gardner for the upcoming 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition hardcover DRACONOMICON BY JOSHUA FREE.]

Joshua Free is famously known for proposing the origins of Druidism as Mesopotamia… This theme is sure to catch many folk off guard and has been a constant source of contention between the author and many of his harsher critics and less informed readers. There is little doubt that it is a shocking or surprising conclusion expressed by the author for at least two decades—but the author has remained steadfast, again, in their resolve that their “intuitions” were right. This pursuit became such an occupation for the author that he spent most of this current millennium attempting to establish this point to esoteric audiences…with mixed results.”

“One theory put forth by Joshua Free, keystone to his writings, regards a prehistoric collective migration of Mesopotamian systemology across Europe, citing examples of the La Tene culture and marked by the indigenous traditions developed later in vicinity to the Danube River, one of two pathways he suggested that it probably traveled.”

Joshua Free states that it is only the result of Roman intervention and the domination of the ‘Classical World’ over the former ancient one that pushed these traditions and evidence for them into specific concentrated locations—such as we easily can see with the ‘Celtic World’ that is traditionally attributed exclusively to the British Isles or Ireland, yet it once served as a dominating influence for most of the European continent. How easily we forget…”

“One additional facet of Joshua Free’s theory is that prior to the migration, a localized concentration of this population emerged from the Ancient Near East and gathered in ancient Anatolia (modern day Turkey)—the place of the legendary “Drunemeton,” a secret birthplace of Druidry that only the highest ranks among them knew of and would regularly return to during their lifetimes. All wild theories?”

“In April 2019, the BBC headlines read: ‘DNA Reveals Origins of Stonehenge Builders.’ Articles provided research summaries published in Nature, Ecology & Evolution. It described a neolithic western migration in c. 6000 B.C. from Anatolia, modern-day Turkey, across two routes—the Mediterranean and Danube River Valley—which spread early Mesopotamian knowledge of agriculture across Europe, reaching Britain by c. 4000 B.C…”

“I’ve since decided to take the writings by Joshua Free even more seriously. I would encourage anyone else to perhaps do the same…” –Rowen Gardner

Secrets of Universal Unification, A New Esoteric Standard Model – “Arcanum: The Great Magical Arcanum” by Joshua Free

THE ARCANUM (or “Great Magical Arcanum”) materials were originally created as a baseline of complete knowledge that many dedicate entire lives (or the equivalency of lifetimes) in pursuit of. Rather than waste many years of initiation exploring what numerous other societies and schools do, Joshua Free released ARCANUM as “Book Zero” at the inception of the modern Mardukite launch, allowing the organization to be properly adjusted to explore a much deeper cycle of mysteries now known as the “Mardukite Core” (consisting of four anthologies of material, starting with the now infamous NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE edited by Joshua Free). For the first time in a decade, Mardukite Truth Seeker Press is pleased to present the most accessible and economical edition of Joshua Free’s ARCANUM to the public in time for its 10th Anniversary!


THE ARCANUM by Joshua Free is a unique literary contribution toward harmonic unification of knowledge receiving many names throughout the ages: magickal, occult, pseudo-scientific and now, even quantum. Rise of technology and this recent “information age” provides a wellspring of metaphysical lore, but it is not generally mutually synchronous with other knowledge or even other New Age systems, often due to vocabulary use. “New Agers” separate their sects and factions in the same manner as scientists and religious officials, and we (as a society) have not been progressing towards global unity. All of our developments and paradigms of truth continue to grow and prove themselves only when isolated within the system in which they were designed.

Materials of ARCANUM are multifaceted – this innovative presentation requires that YOU have immediate access to supplemental information on any given facet of related knowledge. This is indicated in the text by the appearance of “links” or bold-faced type that prompts YOU to explore other specific parts of the book for additional clarification. Choice of this design allowed Joshua Free ability to cover more topics in a tighter space without having to be unnecessarily repetitive of more common aspects. This book is not to be mistaken as simply another “A-to-Z Encyclopedia of Magick” or a superficial discourse concerning “where science and magic meet.” In fact, this text was not written for the true beginner in mind and its scope surpasses practical “new age” magick alone.

ARCANUM can be integrated into any personal background or developmental stage. With sufficient time, study and practice, seekers work through the entire body of knowledge, beginning first with the facets of individual fancy and inclination, and then continuing on with the remainder of the entangled material, which you will find to be coherently interconnected, not simply clumped together to make a massive book. By presenting this primer of a new standard model of the mysteries, any individual, couple or study group can find the ease of using this global” system in spite of prior personal religious, spiritual, philosophical, scientific and academic accomplishments or background.


Throughout history a uniquely separate class of individual has existed on the edges of known reality, bearing a great magical secret. Some have come to call these folk “wizards” or “mystics,” the possessors of the “hidden” or “occult” knowledge of life and the universe. They alone bring the obscure and “invisible” properties of existence into the light, albeit rarely upholding contemporary norms. And while there has been an observable increase of interest in such topics progressively in recent past, the walls of the Ancient Mystery School have far from collapsed.

Hidden within these pages is the true story of the development of civilization, human existence, the traditions and “real magick” adopted by individual hermits, orders and societies at each stage. Unlike many other A-to-Z styled works, ARCANUM is not simply a collection of vocabulary, history and arbitrary biographies, nor is it composed of randomly dispersed pseudo-psychological techniques and spirito-magickal puffery that often runs rampant in the mainstream New Age.

ARCANUM seeker follow a practical and experimental journey from ancient
Mesopotamia and Egypt through the traditions of “magickal” races and bloodlines of later Europeans. YOU will observe the loss of Truth experienced globally during the Dark Ages, which secret societies have so strongly sought to maintain. Finally, YOU will arrive at the forefront of current developments in “quantum theory” and “unifying fields,” new paradigms reviving old philosophies with new terminology, by which the modern “wizard” can better understand the effects of metaphysical “thought magick” on the physical world and the relationship between the resonance of external-environmental energies and the internal self.

Joshua Free’s ARCANUM challenges seekers from any path (whether religious, mystical or scientific) to “shed their skin” for a moment, to release the programmed Ego and layers of belief and sensory experience in order to discover Self-Honest Truth that exists outside boundaries of all defined systems or paradigms. Rather than take the approach that all systems are “just wrong,” Joshua Free explains that it is simply our “beliefs” concerning each facet or level of reality that are in need of revision. Drawing from diverse sources and traditions, the coherent highlights are presented that actually unites knowledge of varying systems. It validates their complimentary comprehensive efforts rather than minimizes them.

ARCANUM prompts all people to embrace their intuition in light of real Truth. For example, during the last century, anthropologists revealed startling confirmations concerning ancient Mesopotamians and their influence on human genetics and civilization. Sumerian, Babylonian and Akkadian tablets (previously unavailable to seekers a century ago) now reveal a more ancient source to the Genesis of mankind that was presented to Hebrew culture by Moses… Anunnaki-Nephilim lore of the same geographic region provides the source of angelic mysticism, obscure races of elemental beings and the European faerie folk. Lore preserved by diverse traditions and secret societies provide evidence for belief in specific dynasties and bloodlines of “real” wizards and elves, a folk that have since passed into realms of fantasy and imagination… And these are just a few of the 1,000 subjects of knowledge explored within these pages. Conventional textbooks and history lessons have certainly not caught up. This is your chance to know!


10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION!!!

ARCANUM : THE GREAT MAGICAL ARCANUM provides a complete structure and standard by which future developments in this field will have to be rethought to include the metaphysical, psychological, quantum and spiritual significance of meditation, visualization, ritual magick, ceremonial tools, natural magick (herb & trees), “spellcraft,” energy work, auras, chakras, resonant energy in environments, sacred sexuality, the philosophy of knowledge and morals, philosophical and laboratory metaphysics, the contributions of secret societies and magickal organizations, divination, prophecy, skrying, astral work, astrophysics, the interpretations of astrological symbolism, the influence of planets, the symbolism of celestial mythology (Sky Gods), the historical background to Christianity, the effects of the Church through the Dark Ages, the heredity of Dragon Kings, incarnated elemental beings, quantum physics, unified fields, superstrings (string theory) and other waves and particles of energy. Provided within are all the tools YOU, the seeker, require to discover the ARCANUM of life for YOURSELF.

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM JOSHUA FREE, CREATOR OF THE DRACONOMICON

“Twenty years ago I became active in Pheryllt Druidism. The Draconomicon began as a notebook kept from that period – during a time when I investigated all matters of Dragons. It has been revised, changed and enhanced four times prior to reaching its current state – marking its twenty years of influence in the Underground neo-Druidic movement.”

“When the Draconomicon was being developed by the Mardukite Research Organization for its 15th Anniversary edition in 2011, things were different for me as the creator. At that time, I had not yet been officially installed into Douglas Monroe’s Pheryllt New Forest Council, nor had the Deepteachings of Merlyn (the third book by Douglas Monroe) been released, which even included an essay of mine.”

BOOKS OF FFERYLLT (Pheryllt Vol 1 + 2)

BOOKS OF FFERYLLT (Pheryllt Vol 1 + 2)

DRACONOMICON also represents the forerunner for the druidic literary series that Joshua Free is currently involved with – the BOOK OF PHERYLLT – or BOOKS OF FFERYLLT… of which two of three volumes are now available to the public (the first of which excerpts previous editions of the DRACONOMICON directly). Not only is the series of significance to Mardukites, but they have even been adopted by Monroe’s New Forest druidic workshops.


THE DRAGON LEGACY is an important part of the history and traditions of cultural magic and the development of human civilization as a whole. “Nothing is separate.” And this is one of the messages we learn from the Dragon. That everything is connected together and we cannot see things in exclusion to other things if we are to see things for “how they truly are” – another gift of the DRAGON.

moroiiadlksgnkldsabsmsm

Hidden in the depths of the Dragon lair is a legacy of bloodlines, secret pacts and cults, the symbolism of an entire universe and the means by which it can be controlled. This is perhaps one of the best kept secrets or grand conspiracies in the history of occultism. It is the undefiled, raw and primordial truth of things – just as we would expect the Druids to understand them.

Whether looking to incorporate the “dragon” into your personal spiritual or magical tradition or even simply as a unique and remarkable treasury of esoteric knowledge as revealed by a leading member of the occult underground, Joshua Free, the DRACONOMICON is the perfect addition to your literary collection and everyday life.
