Sacred Texts Archive
This site is a freely available non-profit archive of significant primary texts relating to religion, mythology, occult and esoteric subjects, and l egends and folklore. Texts are presented in English translation and, in some cases, in the original language.

The Religions of the North
These pages are devoted to Heathenism, here defined as the polytheistic and animist religions of pre-Christian Northern Europe.

The Sacred Fire - Celtic Religions
This site contains a wealth of information about the ancient Celtic heritage... the old religion, rituals, mythology and ceremonies practiced by Celtic ancestors.

Gods of Ancient Egypt

What Is Islam?

Christian Theology Pages by Tradition
A listing of the major traditional Christian Churches and their beliefs.

Judaism 101
Judaism 101 is an online encyclopedia of Judaism, covering Jewish beliefs, people, places, things, language, scripture, holidays, practices and customs.

Hermetic Kabbalah
Kabbalah is an aspect of Jewish mysticism. It consists of a large body of speculation on the nature of divinity, the creation, the origin and fate of the soul, and the role of human beings. It consists also of meditative, devotional, mystical and magical practices which were taught only to a select few and for this reason Kabbalah is regarded as an esoteric offshoot of Judaism. Some aspects of Kabbalah have been studied and used by non-Jews for several hundred years.

The Gnostic Society Library
The Gnostic Society Library contains a vast collection of primary documents relating to the Gnostic tradition. Gnosticism is the teaching based on Gnosis, the knowledge of transcendence arrived at by way of interior, intuitive means. The library features the following materials: the Nag Hammadi, Gospel of St. Thomas, Christian Apocrypha, Alchemical Writings, Corpus Hermeticum, early Christian Saints and many more.

Catechism of the Catholic Church
This is the catechism of the Roman Catholic Church as presented by the official Vatican website. Catechesis is an education in the faith of children, young people and adults which includes especially the teaching of Christian doctrine imparted, generally speaking, in an organic and systematic way, with a view to initiating the hearers into the fullness of Christian life.

Orthodox Catechism
Basic Teachings of the Orthodox Faith by Metropolitan Archbishop Sotirios. The complete publication on-line.

Eastern Religions
The information provided will give you the history and an understanding of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Hinduism, and Zen, not only from a philosophical point of view, but a religious view as well.

What Did Jesus Really Say?
The goal of this book is simple: To exhibit considerable tangible evidence that the Gospel of Jesus (pbuh) underwent a series of major revisions and alterations after his departure to the point that his original message to mankind was all but totally lost.
