Red Wheel/Weiser

Why Red Wheel? We found the red wheel to be an apt symbol for what we're trying to do. Wheels get you places, move you forward. They're a symbol of both motion and wholeness in just about every culture or religious belief system. Red is, of course, the color of passion and life. We hope—and believe—people will find comfort, inspiration, passion, and answers through our books.Weiser Books has a long history as publishers of esoteric, occult teachings from traditions all around the world and throughout time. Metaphysics and magick, astrology, tarot, Eastern thought, Western mystery traditions. New consciousness, received wisdom, information about how to live now in these changing times. Many of our readers remember the Weiser Bookstore in New York City—a gathering place, a place to discover new ways of looking at and being in the world. From that bookstore, begun by Samuel Weiser in 1926 and specializing in esoteric spirituality, arose the Weiser Books publishing program, begun by Donald Weiser, first to reprint out-of-print classics and then to publish new materials. We publish books for spiritual seekers and students from all walks of life and at all points on the path.Our books are available wherever books and ebooks are sold and are available to purchase through our site.
