Historic Ghosts and Ghost Hunters: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

From the famed Devils of Loudon to the workings of John Dee, and from Lurancy Vennum to Swedenborg, "Historic Ghosts and Ghost Hunters" is a fine collection of strange lore related to spirits, hauntings, strange legal cases, and spiritual dabbling. It is a skeptical work, and relates these cases in their historical context with great accuracy, with the writer attempting at times to debunk the tales being told and their prior explanations, which of course tended towards the superstitious. It mixes this with a semi-rationalized endorsement of investigations into the supermundane, by various methods, especially within the realm of psychology and the application of hypnotism, telepathy, and so forth, within a scientific context. It is a truly valuable collection of paranormal tales for the folklore lover.

Investigations Into the Superphysical: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This short work by Annie Besant is a compressed basic overview of the then-present state ofthe Theosophical Society, some of its spiritual premises, and a few predictions of note from the contemporary period. It is notable in having been fundamentally correct about mankind undergoing drastic civilizational change in the imminent sense (the work does not far predate the roaring twenties after all) while positing a few reasons for this which very much fell out of favor- such as attempting to communicate with the spirits of the dead. It is one of a few true new age works from the time period.

Hints From the Hornograph: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This intriguing work is fairly obviously inspired in part by Blavatskys early Theosophical writings, and draws allegory between the Bible and then-modern events, prophecying the fall of Britain and the rise of the United States as a world power, establishing a (literal) church in Philadelphia- the actual city of residence of the pseudonymous author. It is richly linguistic (read; dense) and so will mainly be of interest to those who like language, hidden writing, and prophecy. Oddly, the prophecy did actually come true; the United States would, in only a few short decades, become a dominant power with the launch of the great white navy, the rise of art deco and the boom times of industry, and Britain would at the same time begin to fracture. Indeed when the language is dug into fairly deeply, it's surprisingly accurate.

General Update Time!

Alright everyone.

It's time for probably the final update of the year; I have the illustrations for the final two works I will release this year- right now "Hints from the Hornograph" is still in review, already uploaded to Amazon, and after that come "Historic Ghosts and Ghost Hunters" and "Investigations Into the Superphysical"- but that is just the tip of the iceberg, I am happy to announce!

After having already revised my expected yearly works upward twice, I continued well beyond that already expanded project and began working on works for 2024. Six are already done, a seventh half edited, and several others already awaiting editing having been formatted. All in all it should be pretty easy to get at least twenty works out in 2024- while likely editing ahead for the subsequent year since I am a workaholic. Several of these works will be particularly important; such as "Observations on the Use of Bathing" which is a mid 18th century medical work of historical import for its references to such usages in antiquity.

While I didn't get around to it this year, I am also really going to try and create several more full length compiled works next year, and hopefully get to re-editing and vastly expanding some of my own authored texts.

Onward!

God-Man: The Word Made Flesh: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This is a very interesting Theosophical work; at times rather confusing, with a lot of content which resembles a religious tract more than a coherent book. Nonetheless, its content is fairly straight-forward; it deals with the topic of sacred sexuality and biblical allegory, overlapped with biochemistry, utilizing the theory of "mineral salts" and their role in the human body. Abstaining from alcohol and sex is a common subtopic- although the work does not make it clear whether the latter should also take place within the confines of marriage. It quotes both the Christian Bible and Blavatsky, and also intertwines with elements of Hinduism such as the kundalini.

An Epitome of the Homeopathic Healing Art: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

Benjamin Hills exhaustive work on homeopathy is effectively meant to be a guide to the actual usage of the medicines involved with the practice- a list of different materials of note (herbal and mineral), and various conditions and their treatments. This system departs somewhat from older medical traditions which were more drastic, while retaining a focus on using many substances known to be dangerous to human health, such as ipecac and arsenic. It speaks briefly on the preparation of medicinal compounds and pills as well.

Some of the treatments proposed are also innocuous- a departure from older medicine, while retaining some of the same basic premises of Galenism.

Curiosities of Olden Times: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

Sabine Baring-Gould was one of the more notable compilers of folklore and history in his century. This particular edition is one of the greater ones; the lore comes from many cultures and time periods, and was chosen specifically because it was curious or odd. So we have tales here of saints which were insane paired with cryptography, and folklore regarding women resides in the same work as a collection of stories of animals being criminally prosecuted. Much of the content is humorous, all of it is interesting.

This edition has been illustrated by Raven Feather Illustrations.

235 pages.

Chassidism: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This short work is largely a look at the rituals and beliefs of Chassidic (or Hasidic) Judaism- dancing, song, marital rites, and so forth. It touches on the history of the sect, and its mysticism, and culminates in a suggestion that an actual state of Israel should be created- the work being notable in that it was constructed long prior to the same, in the middle of the first world war- an example of Zionist literature from the era.

Botanic Materia Medica: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This mid-19th century work is an excellent materia medica, more rigorously categorical than many competing editions from the time period, containing an entire list of abbreviations for the usage of species, which are then applied in the work. It contains several hundred different entries- the usages are sometimes archaic, although some terms (such as astringent and stimulant) are still used.

It is a fine example of herbal medicine from the early period in which organic chemistry was leading to the rudimentary standardization of dosage- the work details the difference between tinctures, extracts, and so forth, as well.

The Book of Forbidden Knowledge: New Edition!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This is a special announcement!

The Book of Forbidden Knowledge inexplicably became my all time best seller years ago- it is a bric a brac, likely with multiple authors, and compiles material related to charms, talismans, divination, black magic, spirit-rapping, and other oddities. A few entries appear to be tongue in cheek (curing someone of a gambling addiction by whipping them with a piece of leather from an executioners' whip for example!), and is a very good read all in all. This improved new edition corrects a few errors in the original, is fully reillustrated, and uses a more professional format. I also dropped the price; Amazon has become a landscape of price undercuts by people releasing cheap, crappy editions and taking advantage of the new pricing system.

It is truly one of the most inexplicably strange works I have edited.

2099: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

For some time now I have been tinkering with the idea of a political comedy work- a short text detailing the end of civilization as we know it, framed against the backdrop of the subversive wokeness in most developed nations.

And I finally wrote it. What's funnier than a legless, genetically modified dwarven communist opposing a robot dressed as Ronald Reagan in an election? Well, the destruction of the entire US government and a nuclear war, of course! This little sub-novella was a thrill to write- a relaxing break from the academic material I normally work with.

You'll find snark on every page. It is deliberately atmospheric. I am considering adapting it into an actual novel in the future. For now, the year is 2099- our future... their present.

Orange Man Big Volume II: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This collection of short stories is meant to ridicule and lampoon TDS suffering leftists and neocons while exploring their bizarre psychological abnormalities. In the first volume of these tales, I focused mainly on straight-up political satire, often with a fetishistic angle, but in this volume I decided to deprave it even more and include a greater deal of peepee poopoo comedy. Herein, you'll witness deranged left wingers and a few globalistic neocons deprave themselves to impress Big Don, slipping into hilarious madness over and over again. Of great importance to those who enjoyed the first volume, both Joey and Lil' Ronnie make a reappearance!

These stories are absolutely not based on real life figures suffering from the mental illness known as Trump Derangement Syndrome.

51 pages.

Arcana Saitica: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

Arcana Saitica is an interesting work related to the Freemasons. It posits a mystic element to the path of Freemasonry, while additionally pointing out that most Masons do not, strictly speaking, follow a mystical path at all, and are effectively simply part of a fraternal order of civic and personal importance.

The mysticism here is partially historical, partially linguistic, and references Ancient Egypt, the Chaldeans, Buddhism, and other paths and time periods. The zodiac and astrological system of the West is additionally prominent.

General Update Time Again!

Alright everyone- things are progressing fairly quickly here, so as people back in the states grab up their hot dogs and sparklers I figured now is a good time for a new work update!

All of the fifteen edited works I plan to release this year (originally ten- I'm a workaholic and outpaced myself as usual)- have now been completed, save for two titles for which I have not yet worked through a second time just to remove any bad formatting or grammar mistakes I missed on the first go-around. The works will be illustrated, as usual, by Raven Feather Illustrations- and so their release is contingent upon the illustrators' pacing.

I am also writing several other works- now halfway done with "Orange Man Big" volume II, and a couple of other top secret political tracts in various stages of completion.

As the capstone for 2023 I have chosen to entirely re-edit "Fruits of Eden, Herbalism and the Occult" which was my first significant literary effort, but needs to be entirely reformatted, re-edited, and expanded. I have a list of about thirty new botanical species I intend to include, based largely on my research in editing herbal works, and intend as well a new short section dealing with some interesting edible species that most people do not know are edible- for example, hollyhocks (yes, surprisingly the entire plant is edible, and was used in a lot of Victorian salads as a garnish), purslane (an innocuous little cruciferous weed) and others.

This will probably complete literary work for the year, barring new ideas that randomly pop into my head especially with regards to topics related to any forthcoming culture wars that may erupt.

Onward!

A Plea for the Practice of Botanic Medicine: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This full length work is a treatment of the topic of Thomsonian medicine (also reckoned vegetable medicine) which came into some prominence in the 19th century. The system sought to replace the use of arsenic, mercury, and other drastic "medicines" in usage with herbal materials, especially lobelia, and also cayenne pepper, for complaints. The system was designed by a simple farmer named Samuel Thomson, who probably saved millions of lives by simply not poisoning his patients as doctors were doing at the time. The entire premodern field of herbal medicine owes part of its existence to the man. A few herbal recipes are related verbatim from Thomsons' work, and a lengthy description of competing systems such as atmopathy and hydropathy is given.

The Gun Rights Debate; How To Win It: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This is another political booklet that I have created for the purposes of helping my fellow militia in debating against those who seek to undermine our lawful rights. I have covered the topic from the perspective of pointing out weak and strong arguments in favor of the expansive ownership of private arms (as well as a few attendant subtopics such as castle doctrine, etc), and attempted to cast the net broadly; I see many well meaning proponents of the defense of the true meaning of the second amendment, who nonetheless make weak, potentially false, or pointless statements in debating the general issue- although as the reader will see, there are sometimes much stronger arguments to be made with regards to the same concepts; for example, the existence of the Puckle Gun is meaningless in a debate over semi-automatic weapons, but it is a good argument for the founders understanding that weapons technology would advance over time, and they omit any mention of finding this dangerous or problematic.

It is split into 24 sections, each briefly detailing one of the arguments or counter-arguments thus made and has been kept terse in order to serve as an easily digested debate companion.

A Big Literary Update!

I am pleased to announce that as of this morning, I have completed the first proofreading and editing of the tenth and final edited work I intended to release this year- and we're not even halfway through the year! This tenth work, "Hints from the Hornograph" is possibly the strangest work I have ever edited, and the format so bizarre that I had to lift several pages verbatim from the work itself just to retain all the original intent of the material.

The next step is to write each foreword for the works, summarizing them and giving context, then the second edit just to clear up any spelling mistakes or formatting issues I missed on the first go-through. Then once my illustrator creates the illustrations for each work, cover art is made and the work released. I anticipate this process will be complete by September.

In the meantime I have decided to edit five more editions before the year ends, as well as writing several works: "Timmy Story", which is a novella roughly made to eventually be turned into a low budget muppet-style movie- a thing I have dabbled with for years, as well as "Nutty Norman"- a collection of short works in which a very troubled adolescent with enormous behavioral issues continuously goes insane and does terrible things. I also plan a second volume of "Orange Man Big!" since the first one sold more than a thousand copies just in its first week.

Currently, apart from finalizing the edited works, I am focusing on a short political work on gun rights, attempting to help those which support the militia to make more effective and accurate arguments in favor of the same, while rebuffing some of the main talking points of those who dislike the idea of an armed populous, self defense, etc.

As you can see, I am no slouch. Onward to the second half of the year!

Wokeness is Wrong: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

What is woke? The answer given typically depends on the party being asked the question. It is professed to be an awareness of struggle and grievance, or participation in the same; but it is also declared vacuous and malleable. Its proponents come in many forms- because the term has no central premise. In this work I argue that this is- at least insofar as the privileged champions of the concept go- absolutely purposeful and deliberate.

With this in mind herein I explore the actual functions of wokeness- that is, that which it does, that which it causes. In this manner, we can describe the phenomenon adequately and refute it while sidestepping any intellectually dishonest debate over its actual form- for the function will allow us to describe it, here in this work, based on thirteen premises, which mark the actual behavior of the woke, and of wokeness, on every level; legal, civil, intellectual, social, and behavioral.

Orange Man Big: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

At long last, it is here- the highly anticipated political satire I have been writing on and off for some months- Orange Man Big!

This particular work is a collection of short stories in which- ahem- entirely fictional left wing politicians and "activists" engage in obsessive and deranged behavior as part of their sexual obsession with Donald Trump, which manifests itself as irrational anger. The stories are designed to poke fun at this hyperbolic obsession- one which is not really that far removed from actual leftist rambling.

It should be noted that, obviously, this work is intended only for mature audiences.

Literary Update Time!

2023 is now one third done and I am happy to say that my literary endeavors have sped on well ahead of expectations (I suppose that surprises few people- I tend to be a workaholic.)

In addition to having completed the first edits of six of my planned ten edited works of the year, I have now outlined and created the preface to a short work defining and debunking wokeness (an expanded companion to my "Critical Race Theory Debunked") and completed- pending cover art- a satirical work compiling some fictional and degenerate fantasies wherein leftist political and social figures (which are totally not based on real life TDS sufferers!) interact with Donald Trump and end up in various scenarios, all of which are highly explicit, strange, and deliberately memed to death.

Since I may complete all of the years' work sometime around late summer or early autumn, I will re-evaluate which direction I want to go in for the remaining months of 2023- I might tack on five more edited releases, or I might begin entirely remaking "Fruits of Eden"- I might also work on the next three compiled occult works I had planned for the future. There's always a likelihood that other hot-button sociopolitical topics will require short booklets, which are a great way to debate such issues, since it allows me to structure my arguments in a more linear format, instead of on video, where I normally free-flow my conversation and tend towards stream of consciousness.

I also intend to re-edit and complete a specifically US-edition paperback variant of "The Book of Forbidden Knowledge" since it seems the paperback I currently have released is being algorithmically undercut by a competing edition within the US market- a shift Amazon has made since roughly the beginning of the year.

Much more work to be done this year and every other!

General Update Time!

As we segue into 2023 I thought it prudent to lay out my literary plans for this year; which after all can't really be worse than 2022 was- that alone is grounds for some optimism!

While I formerly decided to stop editing one-off works, I have decided to continue that work on brownout mode; while it is far more sensible to write some more of my own material and compile occult material for serious study, there are still a large number of worthy editions which warrant crafting- I am going to considerably slow my output of such works, however, as it does not make sense to hire an illustrator to illustrate a work if it can't be reasonably expected to at least break even regarding the investment of my time and money. I will be more choosy in my releases. I adore obscure receipt books for example, but I can't expect them to sell as many copies as, say, a grimoire, or a historical tract on the Freemasons.

I am working on several authored works currently also; one is comedic and involves various leftists and their warped fantasies about Donald Trump- this will be more for my political audience than for any serious literary purpose, but if it does half as well as "101 commie jokes" it is well worth the time.

I will also be making at least three more compiled works over the next year, and plan to both re-edit several of my past works and begin crafting a rigorous and fully academic history of herbal medicine. I envision it as a massive tome of lore with a huge bibliography, profuse notes, and a large explanatory foreword; where Fruits of Eden was mainly about the supernatural this work will be historical.        

I may randomly meander into other topics as well. I have found it both fun and intriguing to make short booklets regarding cultural events (Critical Race Theory, for example, or Memetics) and there is no telling what such topics may arise during the year.

Onward!
