Alan Miller, better known to occultists as Dr. Christopher S. Hyatt, the author of Undoing Yourself With Energized Meditation and Other Devices
Falcon Press was started in 1981 by Hyatt with Israel Regardie. The name was changed to New Falcon Publications due to confusion with a prior claim to the name by another publisher. After Hyatt’s death in 2008, ownership changed to Michael Miller.
Original Falcon Press was launched shortly thereafter by Nick Tharcher and Linda Miller, selling many of the same titles as New Falcon Publications. Nick Tharcher has been granting interviews recently to clear up some of this confusion.
Joseph Mathey interviews Nick Tharcher and Linda Miller, widow of Alan Miller (Christopher Hyatt) about Original Falcon Press and the separation from New Falcon Publications for Alterati’s podcast, GSpot in “Falcon, Falcon, Burning Bright?” (Thanks to James Curcio for bringing the podcast to my attention.)
Mona Magick interviewed Nick for the Mystic Journey Radio Show on February 13th in “Occult on the Press with The Original Falcon Press“.
For more info, also see “How Mike Miller came to be CEO of New Falcon Publications” at the old New Falcon Publications Blog, written by Nick Tharcher, and, for comparison, “A Statement by Michael Miller on New Falcon Publications“.

I’m pleased to you posting again.
Having long enjoyed many of New Falcon’s publications, the schism which followed Hyatt’s passing caught me by surprise. It didn’t take much digging to find fault with the shuckster remnants of New Falcon, but it seems like a very tawdry mess.
Thanks.
Yeah, I was on New Falcon’s mailing list, so received updates after it happened, but recently Nick seems to be doing more interviews about it, and Original Falcon is reprinting a lot of NF’s backlist.
Here’s the link for Nick when Mona Magick interviewed him:

I think your link goes to a different show.
