Happy New Year- Final 2021 Update!

2021 was an eventful year- mostly for the worse, but for literary work by yours truly, it was amazing; 63,136 copies of my paperback literature sold since the year began (a few more copies will be sold today, but it's New Years' Eve so I don't expect sales to be particularly high.) My first nine compilations are done, and my first hardcover is currently in review- of course, it is a hardcover version of the "Book of Forbidden Knowledge", which alone has sold several tens of thousands of copies since I edited it years ago. I expect this release will be quite popular.

I was not able to get to hardcover work done for my compiled titles, but that is not a problem- it was a decent tradeoff to complete an extra five edited works and literally complete half of 2022's work before the year even switches over. Anyways, I plan to create a couple more compiled works, so it makes sense to wait anyways, to soothe my raging OCD. I was also able to obtain a half dozen more works to edit- and I am well on my way to completing the next slew of edited releases, which should all be done before January ends.

Good as though 2021 was (for literature anyways) I expect 2022 will be astronomically better- onward!

The Poetry of the Talmud: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This volume (and the last edited work of 2021!) is a plethora of analysis regarding the Talmud and its content; it covers the hyperbolic and metaphorical nature of a great deal of Rabbinical opinion, and a number of little cautionary tales usually involving animals, as well as the Greek influence on some of the content, in which their stories were re-interpreted according to the premises of Judaism. It is heavily sourced both to the Talmud and to contemporary academic works.

156 pages.

The Apocryphal Books of the Old and New Testament: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This book is a detailed analysis of every book of the Apocrypha, written a full four decades prior to the Dead Sea Scrolls being discovered. It speaks about the content, purpose, authorship, and dating of each work- not just the well known ones like the Book of Enoch, Gospel of Nicodemus, or the books of Maccabees, but also lesser-known ones like Bel and the Dragon and the Book of Judith. It is fairly comprehensive and academic in tone.

127 pages.

The Sanitary Code of the Pentateuch: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This fine work is an academic and historical treatment of the various laws and rituals related to ancient Judaism in their Pentateuch, relative to dietary restrictions, the concept of sanitation, disinfection, and epidemic disease (specifically, leprosy.) It is quasi-revisionist in that the author spends some time attempting to explain the relevance of these practices from a then-modern late 19th century viewpoint (for example, swine being banned from consumption due to trichinosis, or single-crop field planting being related to crop rotation.)

46 pages.

Lectures on Witchcraft: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This excellent volume is a mid 19th century look at the Salem Witch Trials which was initially several lectures which were transcribed. Upham lays out some of the trial transcripts and remarks on the causation of the witch panic, and the brutal methods by which persecution was enacted. At times, he waxes a bit (overly) optimistic about the advancement of civics, evidence, reason, and religious tolerance regarding this and similar issues of superstition and criminality.

147 pages.

The Original Norwood Gipsy: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little text is one of a number of divination titles ascribed to the infamous Norwood Gypsy, briefly mentioned in the Salem Witch Trials. It is a standard fortune teller, with tea leaf reading, physiognomy, lucky and unlucky days, and fortune telling using a deck of cards, all mentioned. It is brief but complete and may have been the basis for plagiarism from later works repeating it near-verbatim.

33 pages.

Identity of the Religions Called Druidical and Hebrew: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little work of religious history delves into the cultural as well as the linguistic, with its main focus being on correlating ritual and language between the Druids and Hebrews, positing a common prior origin, Antediluvian in nature. It goes into some detail about other contemporary spiritual and cultural groups as well, and while this kind of theory has largely been discarded in modern academia, it is more because of its religious connotations than any prevailing counter evidence.

70 pages.

Lilith, the Legend of the First Woman: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This poetic volume is a telling of the story of Lilith (derived from Sumeria) from her incarnation as the compatriot of Adam, and the first female (prior to Eve being born) and her fall from grace, by desiring equality- then, her subsequent pairing with Eblis (or Iblis) and slowly becoming an enemy to mothers and infants. It is a romanticist work, and interprets this legend somewhat differently than certain works; Lilith may be seen as a tragic and largely unwilling participant in evil, or as a malevolent demonic force.

74 pages.

Israfel: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little work is yet another A E Waite poetry compilation, mostly one long work, delivered in a series of "visions" and "letters", and dealing with the nature of the archangel of Revelation, of note within both Christian theology (sometimes under the title "Raphael") as well as within Islam. It is a very theatrical and romanticist work, sometimes near hyperbolic in its descriptions of glory and of the Avalon of Arthurian legend.

87 pages.

A Defense of Freemasonry: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This text is a mid 19th century refutation of some of the contemporary attacks on the Freemasons- especially by Catholic sources. It specifically refutes a half dozen major premises, most notably the concept that members had to swear oaths which were against British law. The Vatican is repeatedly condemned for its near incessant diatribe against secret societies- a phenomenon which, it must be noted, went far beyond merely the Freemasons themselves.

109 pages.

A Method of Chierognomy: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This heavily illustrated little work is a good fortune telling system mostly overlapping the practice of palmistry. It does not really mention the lines of the hand (except in terms of degrees of smooth or rough) but focuses mainly on finger and hand shape and size, and the various "mounds" of the hand used to determine various types and degrees of character.

40 pages.

General Update Time: Grand News! New Releases Soon! Sales! And More!

It's general update time! Considering the lockdownerism resulting from the Omicron variant of COVID now being unduly hyped up by the entire legacy media, I figured my literary audience might want a little bit of positive news; and boy oh boy is the positivity flowing!

First news of the day: I have finished off four of five additional works to get out before the end of the year, and the fifth work is about one third completed. Two of these works are actually occult poetry; I expedited them in order to work on another end-of-year project, as you will see below. One is "Israfel" by Waite (which is rather good. I have released two of his other spiritually-visioned poetic compilations before.) The other is called "Lilith, the First Woman", and is a sort of dramatically poetic retelling of the story of the same being, cast forth from Eden, after rejecting some of Adams' masculine tendencies. Added to these are "Religions Druidical and Hebrew", which is anthropological in nature, plus "A Defense of Freemasonry" which debunks some of the (mostly Catholic) attacks on the Masons in earlier times. Finally, "A Method of Cheirognomy" which is a fortune telling work related to palmistry.

Second news of the day: I have decided upon the final three topics for three further occult compilations. After noting that interest in the last three was higher than I anticipated, I figured it'd be best to complete these works before rendering all soon-to-be twelve compilations into hardcover volumes. The subjects will be "Occult Poetry", "Eastern Religions", and "Occult Miscellany." This third work will be important; I will combine between six and ten works which I have previously edited, specifically casting the net as wide as possible, for true occult aficionados to be able to study a plethora of material and then use it as a spring-board into other works, which will be listed and related to one or more of the included volumes. The suggested reading list in this title will be significantly longer than in the other compilations. I do not anticipate needing an appendix.

Third news of the day: Alluding to the above, of course, as soon as these projects complete (probably in January) I intend to figure out hardcover formatting and release all twelve compiled volumes in that form. This will be done alongside editing at least thirty new edited works in 2022, along with several of my own titles, one of which is half complete.

And in final news, I would like to thank everyone which has purchased a copy (or copies) of "Critical Race Theory Debunked." Almost 700 copies have sold just in November, and if this interest continues it may even surpass "Occult Memetics" in total sales some time next Spring. Total sales are now approaching 2,600 copies, all paperback. I like to think some are sitting in libraries now, much to the insane anger of local socialists.

Onward to 2022! I predict it will be even more crazy than 2021 has been.

European Paganism, a Collection: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This ninth compilation was created partially due to public demand; it is artificially constrained to a few variants of European paganism (Greek, Roman, Norse, and British/Irish) because of the expansive nature of the subject. Much of the work is academic and historical in tone, although "Valhalla" is mostly a poetic epic. These seven works are, in my opinion, a decent springboard into the subject. As with all of my compiled volumes, it contains a lengthy list of works in a bibliography for further reading on the subject matter, and an expansive foreword detailing each work and the premise of the compiled volume.

Included works:

-Valhalla: The Myths of Norseland

-Pagan Ideas of Immortality

-Pagan Mythology: Wisdom of the Ancients

-A Compendium of Heathen Mythology

-The Mythology of Ancient Britain and Ireland

-Dionysos and Immortality

-The Religion of Ancient Scandinavia

375 pages.

Theosophy, a Collection: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This compiled volume includes nine different works of Theosophy for the purpose of general teaching about it and some of the subtopics of especial note among Theosophists in the earlier stages of the occult orders' existence. I have included a couple of good introductory works (by Judge and Dower) and then fleshed the subject out with additional material which involves a range of discussion; from human evolution, to the occidental-oriental debate, to the topic of vegetarianism and spirituality. The work includes, as always, a lengthy bibliography of additional works and an expansive foreword explaining the content and subject.

Included works:

-Occult Significance of Blood

-Echoes of the Orient

-The Ideals of Theosophy

-The Theosophy of Christ

-Vegetarianism in the Light of Theosophy

-The Roots of Ritualism in Church and Masonry

-The Life After Death and How Theosophy Unveils It

-The Stanzas of Dzyan

-Occultism for Beginners

374 pages.

Witchcraft, a Collection: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This volume is a compilation of seven important works within the general topic of the Witch Trials at Salem, the Burning Times, and on the general topic of superstition and persecution; a facet of uncivilized culture which still rages today, only in our "modern" era the witches tend to be political dissidents.

The works range from primary source material on the trials themselves, to accounts of different aspects and figures related to the same. I have added a suggested reading list to the end of the work and it contains an expansive foreword explaining each work and the topics' premise.

Included works:

Cotton Mather and Witchcraft
Magic and Witchcraft
The Witch Persecutions
A Tryal of Witches
Strange Phenomena of New England
A Brief History of Witchcraft
The Witches Pharmacopoeia

315 pages.

The Old Paths: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This interesting volume (which might be the final edited work of the year! Stay tuned!) is effectively a reform-minded (or primitivistic) Christian tract which seeks to use the opinions and writings of early Christian figures predominantly to evince the concept that there is no Hell, or at least no Hell prior to the Revelation-era final judgment, effectively arguing for universal salvation. It is fairly compelling and alludes to the words of Clement, Paul, and many others.

75 pages.

Metempsychosis: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little essay regards the concept of the afterlife, reincarnation, and the continued existence of the soul after death in some form. While it primarily speaks about such concepts in the European pagan, and later Christian, sense, it also speaks about Hinduism. Plotinus and Empedocles are, of course, frequently mentioned under the premise.

43 pages.

The Roots of Ritualism in Church and Masonry: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little text is one of Helena Blavatsky's better writings- a short and largely linguistic work remarking upon some Christian and Masonic terminology and noting the overlap between them. It initially comes from an essay in "Lucifer" (a Theosophical magazine, not to be confused with the devil!) and was also included in a latter work compiling some essays by the author.

46 pages.

Outlines of Greek and Roman Medicine: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This fine work compiles lore about medical practices, major medical figures, and some of the innovations of both ancient Greece and Rome (sanitation, plumbing systems, etc.) It is quite thorough, and goes beyond perennial names and ideas like trepanning or Galen, into lesser known topics, like the development of the speculum, figures like Andromachus, and much more. It is profuse with notes and references to other works, also.

121 pages.

Greek and Roman Ghost Stories: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little volume is a compilation of (as the title suggests!) ghostly tales from ancient Greece and Rome. Some of them are from historians, others are from plays and fictional material- and it is interesting to note the major similarity of tales in both. In one extremely interesting passage, Nero himself ends up doing manual labor to try and calm terrified workers who swore they heard the dead around them and that the ground was welling up with the blood of the deceased.

60 pages.

Nirvana: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This full length work is essentially comprised of three things; the authors' own personal experiences with Nirvana and "Buddhi" (which are sometimes theatrical and poetic), a bit about the history of the concept and its usage in more authentic Buddhist paths (as opposed to even modern misinterpretations, often by hippies who are spiritually clueless), and finally a lengthy appendix, partly academic, and contributed to by both Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant. The book is quite well made, and contains a bit of romantic-era poetry to illustrate some of its points.

190 pages.

General Update Time! Hardcovers and More!

First, let me begin by thanking everyone who reads these posts and who has purchased a book or two of my creation. Not only have I now sold about three thousand copies of "Critical Race Theory Debunked", but total sales, overall- not counting digital sales- are now approaching a whopping two hundred thousand editions. Yes, 200,000. That's a lot of paper. Onward to a quarter million editions!

The most major update I have as we approach that wondrous day of Halloween, is that Amazon now has a hardcover option- I immediately decided to release all of my compiled works in hardcover, but first I need to create two or three (I have not decided yet) more compiled editions- one will involve Theosophy, and both religious history and occult miscellany are other potential releases. Once these are done, I will create hardcover editions of all compiled works (demonology, folk magic, etc)- this will not take too much time, since the files are already done- however I will need to change the page and trim sizes, reformat accordingly, and of course change the page numbering in those full length works to reflect the new format. I do not know how long this will take- a month, or so, I guess.

In other news, I have been firing on both cylinders now for quite some time, and so now I believe that in addition to finishing the 360th edited work some time around Halloween, I will be able to complete five or so additional works before the end of the year, even allowing for a month or more for working out the hardcover compiled releases. I am also writing another semi-political humorous work which I think some here will enjoy.

And due to attacks on archive.org and other literary bulwarks, I have downloaded, formatted, and quadruple-backed-up about forty additional literary editions, adding them to nearly three hundred already acquired. I could edit and write at my current speed for a half decade at this rate and never run out of material to work with. These works range from anthropological and historical treatments, to folklore compilations, to spiritualist miscellany. The fight against ignorance continues!

The Gates of Knowledge: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This short work is a transcribed lecture by Rudolf Steiner, mostly about self awareness and mindfulness and their usage, but also contains a (strangely unrelated) short lecture on the nature of philosophy, especially related to Aristotle. It should be noted that this work comes from a time when Steiner was still a Theosophist, before leaving the movement to form what became Anthoposophy.

79 pages.

Apollonius of Tyana: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This fine book is a great look at the life and teachings of Apollonius- it is partly a critical work, sometimes querying the veracity of Philostratus and other ancient writers and figures, often using secondary works within its analysis- it also contains a full bibliography, although most of the listed texts are in German or French.

112 pages.

The Son of God, the Mystical Teachings of the Masters: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This "Temple of the Illuminati" book by Reuben Clymer essentially traces the story of Jesus and interprets it in a mystical manner, labeling Jesus an Essene (which is almost certainly true, if we assume the historicity of this figure) and ruminating on his antipathy towards the Sadducees and Pharisees, among other contemporary movements. It then expounds upon both Judeochristian and Eastern topics, and how practices therein can bring one into better spiritual alignment with the same mystical interpretation of Jesus.

121 pages.

Man and His Bodies: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

As a social reform text as much as an occult one, this Theosophical work by Annie Besant speaks about the spiritual ills posed by alcoholism and other vices, and gives various social and behavioral remedies, elsewhere talking mainly about the ascent capable for the human spirit, and the different levels of that ascent.

80 pages.

A Treatise on Acupuncturation: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little work is a very early study of the pseudoscience of acupuncture (pseudoscience as we have firmly established it does absolutely nothing that any other placebo won't accomplish without the risk of infection). It is quite interesting, especially since the concept of sterilizing surgical instruments had not yet been widely adopted in the 1820s. It contains several interesting anecdotes regarding specific patients.

30 pages.

The Burden of Isis: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This work is a fairly important collection of ancient Egyptian invocations, which partly allude to the story of Orisis being slain by Seth, then revived by his sister-wife Isis. It contains a very interesting little section on the importance of the "sistrum-bearer" in these proceedings, using this instrument to call awareness to the deity rather than summon it; fitting in roughly with one of my own perpetual interests, in sonic magic.

47 pages.

Christisis: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This text is one of Reuben Clymers' initiatory manuscripts, and is literally branded as being involved with the Illuminati- the teachings are somewhat easily understood; that there is a sort of enlightened age coming, and that people can ascend spiritually and mentally through a combination of self control, self awareness, and varied practice- this "Christisis" concept is both a quasi-theistic figure and an internalized, psychological and mystic concept. While it stresses belief in the specifically Christian god, it also recommends Eastern exercises related to proper breathing, meditation, etc.

97 pages.

Paracelsus, And His Influence on Chemistry and Medicine: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little booklet is a description of a bit of the life and workings of Paracelsus, especially regarding his herbal physiognomy theory, his displacement of Galens' elemental beliefs, and a bit of criticism about his lifestyle choices (having been reported to be a drunk, and known to be egotistical and a bit power-mad.) Paracelsus was arguably the father of pre-modern chemistry, forming a missing link to the past, as he maintained an interest in astrology and alchemy, subjugating the latter to medicine as opposed to fixating on the idea of transmutation.

31 pages.

The Riddle of Life, and How Theosophy Answers it: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little text is fairly self explanatory. Written by Besant, it encourages increased self control and self awareness, as a method to ascend spiritually and mentally, and speaks a bit about karma and the different planes of existence past the physical world.

55 pages.

The Way to Life and Immortality: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This slightly odd text is another edition by Reuben Clymer, and proposes primarily that through proper practices (and preferably initiation into the "illuminati"!) life spans can be drastically expanded and mortality itself inevitably defeated. In one interesting turn, the kind of diet and lifestyle Clymer proposes for treating tuberculosis (consumption) would actually have been of use- much of the population was living on nothing more than bread and beer, and his proposed intake of food revolved around vegetables, which would have nourished the body substantially more.

Clymer actively predicts a coming era in which a combination of science and spiritual rigor will abolish death once and for all.

188 pages.

Contentions With God, A Study in Jewish Folklore: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This short booklet is filled with interesting Jewish folklore. Almost all of it involves Rabbinical councils condemning God for contradictions in Torah law, sometimes to the point of "suing" their deity on behalf of aggrieved plaintiffs (it isn't certain how they are reimbursed by the losing party!) A slightly humorous depiction of the Jewish god ensues, and on one occasion, even death itself is bested.

40 pages.

Demonosophy Unmasked: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This work is a categorical refutation of Theosophy and its practices from the background of fire and brimstone early 20th century Christian rigor. At times, the specific arguments made are hilarious (that Theosophy causes demon possession via spiritualism- despite seances and the like being generally and repeatedly debunked in both the contemporary and latter sense.) Some of the other arguments make more sense, and it's important to provide a critical counter-balance since I have edited several dozen works by Theosophists themselves. It is half-jokingly dedicated to someone I debated recently, who hates Theosophy but is also a socialist/communist (they are fundamentally the same) even though works like this often attacked Theosophy as well, but also because it was in part derived at times from socialist rhetoric by the likes of Annie besant.

136 pages.

General Update: Big News and More!

First, the big news: Amazon now offers hardcover as an option for literary releases. While some of my individual editing projects are a bit short for that, I should be able to soon offer all of my occult compilations in a new, snazzy hardcover jacket- and since I have kept editing works at breakneck speed, there will probably be two or three more compiled works in the making over the next year or so.

In other news, I recently started to redouble my editing speed, since I have had a lot of ambition and the effort is starting to pay off (literally) at an increased rate. I now plan to work my way to at least the 360th occult title by the end of the year, where initially I had planned for 350- that means that if I continue this pace I might finish before Halloween of 2022, and then work on hardcover releases, new compilations, some miscellany, and a few more authored booklets through next years' end.

Then, it's onward to another hundred editions! But probably at a slightly slower pace.

Ancient Mysteries and Modern Revelations: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This rather large, dense volume is a compilation of multiple disparate kinds of spiritual and occult lore- from treatments of major figures such as Swedenborg, Joan of Arc, and Paracelsus, to sections dealing with the initiation rites and basic beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks, to a few then-modern meanderings into spiritualism and related fields. It is written from a spiritualist background, and casts some aspersion on certain tenets of mediumship and other practices, and is essentially a reformist occult work of sorts.

263 pages.

Apollonius of Tyana: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This short text by Reville is basically a condensed summation of the life and times of Apollonius, especially with an eye to the pagan revivalism associated with his teachings. Apollonius is often considered either a paganistic copy of Jesus or potentially the basis upon which the Jesus myth was crafted to begin with. A fairly large portion of this work deals with Roman intrigue and of course a majority of it is based on Philostratus' work on the subject.

53 pages.

The Divine Spark: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This short work by Clymer is a set of two essays. The first section deals with increasing health and longevity (even to the point of immortality) through proper breathing. The second, and perhaps more intriguing section details the Great Pyramid and its rumored usage for priestly initiation rituals, then exhorting Masons and other groups to emulate the basic idea as laid forth.

38 pages.

Beginnings, Glimpses of Vanished Civilizations: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This excellent work is a compilation of lore spanning many centuries and ranging from ancient Greek, to Roman, to Egyptian, to Vedic lore, all of which revolves around the concept of the origins of mankind. It touches on both science and history, with heavy allusions to Atlantis, and sometimes quoting Ignatius Donnelly.

76 pages.

Fairies: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little work is a dense collection of folklore about fairies (although it does include some content referring to elves, brownies, and similar beings)- part of it relates to poetry, some to prose both ancient and then-modern. It is a quasi-romanticist effort, openly encouraging the promulgation of such folk material as an alternative to the cold, secular boredom of industrial living. It also seems to insinuate that such beings are real, albeit otherworldly.

35 pages.

Cerberus, the Dog of Hades, Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little work is an anthropological title which traces several different hellish hounds from multiple cultures and describes them, partly based on linguistics. Cerberus is one of a number of such canines- there are also Odins' wolves, the dogs of Yama, and inclusions from Zoroastrian and even Mesoamerican lore.

26 pages.

Hebrew Idolatry and Superstition: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This present book is a work mainly of religious history, seeking to categorize the various "idolatrous" practices of the ancient Hebrews, claiming most of them can be established to have had a prior origin, and that they therefore did not originate with Judaism. Some of the claims here are anthropologically outdated but many have been continuously confirmed (sacred groves and witchcraft definitely predate Judaism and probably came from interactions with other regional tribes, for example.) The number of individual stories involving witchery, totems, etc, are profuse, and the work is a great springboard for further study.

51 pages.

Bantu Folk Lore: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This ethnographic work is a significant compilation of South African herbal and ritual lore, with profuse linguistic inclusions, combining the scientific names of species, and descriptions of types of doctors and practices, with the native speech involved. Less preachy than some contemporary studies, it actually compares the materia medica of the Bantu people with that of the European people.

77 pages.

An Essay on Demonology, Ghosts, and Apparitions: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This nice literary edition predominantly describes medical quackery, the persecutions of Salem (and attempts at the same from latter time periods well into the 18th century!) and some interesting supernatural tales involving those who believed themselves demonically troubled or bewitched. I decided to edit this particular work partly as a cautionary tale for occultists not to be too incredulous, and as an amusing look at times of persecution and charlatan medicine which roughly equate to the 2020s. The more things change the more they remain the same!

132 pages.

Self-Knowledge: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This book is another Abhedananda volume dedicated to an aspect of Vedanta philosophy under the broader banner of Hinduism. It's intriguing, and is partly in the form of dialogue involving Indra.

The entire purpose is a philosophical expose on the concept of self- not the rudimentary physical self which passes away, but rather a higher variant of the self, posited not to be some spirit subjugate to an external deity, nor a will-less component of some divine totality, but something akin to and yet different from both, to be known, but not entirely via reason.

83 pages.

The Astral Plane: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

Leadbeaters' work on the astral plane is an interesting (and sometimes bizarre) work of Theosophy, arranging the plane above normal physical existence into seven levels and detailing the inhabitants therein; there are human souls, the shades of the dead, thought-forms, and even beings loosely pre-defined as elementals or as cryptozoological (such as gnomes and undines.) Devas, and other incarnations above mankind, are taken out of their initial divine or semi-divine role in Eastern lore and are spoken of as being in the higher levels of the astral world. Vampires (in the psychic sense) and werewolves are also mentioned.

100 pages.

Divine Heritage of Man: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little text is a Vedanta work, one of a number created during the period; it is from the Hindu path, and forms a very interesting counterpart to Western movements such as Theosophy, which always stated or insinuated the primacy of Christ and Christianity, while admitting Eastern enlightenment and inter-mixing some of Hindu and Buddhist lore into their system. This work, and others by the same author, do the opposite, and subjugate Christ to the Vedanta system by asserting an older origin (which is historically accurate) and similarities (which sometimes are accurate, sometimes less so.) The nature of divinity and of mans' relation to it are explored in depth.

93 pages.

English Folklore: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little work is a broad and truncated overview of a very large collection of folk tales and superstitions among the English peasantry- a field of study of the vulgar or common which was just beginning to be of public interest as the 20th century dawned. It is interesting to note several examples of older myths being adapted to then-contemporary events; tales of ghost lights were common for centuries and ended up twined in with the sinking of German U-boats and the remains of the dead washing up on the shore in the era of WWI, for example.

81 pages.

General Update: More Works Coming!

My literary activities have been quieter than normal for the last month- this is not because I have stopped editing material, on the contrary, I have been editing up a storm- but I moved from one side of the Netherlands to the other, and decided to put off actually submitting completed works as I assembled furniture, tidied up, and made my little office nook!

I have already completely edited a short work of English Folklore and a Vedanta work on the Divine Heritage of Man, and I am well on the way through a third work for August which is also Vedanta in background. I expect all three to be available well before September. I figured it was okay to take a minor breather- I took a record three days off from editing literature three weeks ago and was nearly driven mad by that.

By the power of caffeine I expect to have far more than the initially allocated fifty new volumes for the year available by the end of 2021- probably sixty or so, since a few volumes were quite short- as I previously mentioned I want to complete the four hundredth edition by the end of next year, so any breathing space is valuable- then I'll take a short vacation and onward to more occultism!

Debunking Critical Race Theory: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This work is one which I felt was absolutely necessary to write. It is a complete rebuttal of critical race theory and certain adjacent ideas and proposals which the far left has recently developed. The first entire part of the work explicitly lists five major premises of CRT, taken from its own ideological proponents, and dismantles them on both a pragmatic and ethical basis. It is important to note that the scholars and academics involved with CRT openly admit to the concept being influenced partly by Marxism; indeed, some of its components are just a replacement of class with race while promulgating the same overall Marxist subversion of prior eras. Secondary components of CRT (the idea of reparations, etc) I also address.

30 pages.

101 Communist Jokes: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

I wrote this little booklet mostly for my own personal amusement, since communists and socialists hate being criticized. Originally I'd intended to just have 101 pages, each of which said "communism" (since communism is itself a joke.) I decided instead to lampoon 101 different figures, ideas, and aspects of leftism- ridiculing, for example, the dishonesty of "social democrats" (shy socialists), Xi Jinping (Winnie the Pooh), Karl Marx himself, etc. I have a rather dry sense of humor so if you're into one liners this one should be down your alley.

Recommended also as a conversation piece. Your leftist relatives might at first think it's jokes for communists, then get triggered, leading to massive guffaws.

30 pages.

The Devachanic Plane: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This work is essentially in two parts; the first part describes, more or less, the ascending rupa and arupa layers of the Theosophical concept of Devachan- the locale where the self rests between physical incarnations- and the second part describes the various human and non-human entities therein, such as manifested thought-forms, devas, etc.

75 pages.
