Today is a bit of a slow day on the literary front because of other work I had to do; that doesn't mean I didn't wish to make a post here though. The preface of the 1790 Universal Fortune Teller is done (quite a feat because of the condition of the manuscript and the language used there) and I'm settling in to some wine and relaxation.
It seemed like a good idea to post some of the music I listen to while editing and writing; I would have embedded the links but it seemed easier to just link them normally.

The Occult Basis of ASMR, Second Edition: Now Available!
The second, entirely reformatted, slightly expanded second edition of "The Occult Basis of ASMR" is now available.
When I realized that the phenomenon known as "ASMR" (autonomous sensory meridian response) had multiple points of overlap with the spiritual world, I set out to write a work on the topic. Originally in a slightly poor choice of formats, it had to thus be re-edited and two new sections were added along with a longer foreword to explain the basis of the work. Thus, this second edition has been released. Those involved with ASMR should appreciate the work; it doesn't just talk about the prevalence of witch roleplay or occult imagery within ASMR videos and sonic releases, but the pagan basis of sonic occultism, the role of the famed serpent fire, and the processes of lucid dreaming, meditation, and much more.
60 pages.

The Occult Basis of ASMR: Second Edition Coming Soon
Once I realized that the little manuscript I penned regarding ASMR as it related to the occult realm was actually being digested by more readers by far than some of the grimoires I have edited over time, I decided that it was high time to improve its format (and, dare I say, primitive cover art) and add new material which I have amalgamated on the subject on my slow journey through occult literature.
It's not that the original work is wrong or lacks content- quite the opposite, it seems to have been remarkably well received, but since I released it I have made my way through several dozen new works, and that only includes those that I chose to release in editions. That doesn't even come close to the number of works on the occult and in the occult that I've read as research and for my own interest that are more recent or which I haven't edited yet.
I've already proofread and reformatted the work into a better condition- several new sections and a prelude to the second, edited version will be added, as well as perhaps a section of notes, possibly including a laundry list of occult works which have some relation to the topic of autonomous sensory meridian response. Since at least two new segments have to be added it will be somewhat longer than before, which I imagine will be welcomed by those who wanted a bit more meat on the bones to flesh the core idea out.
I have other updates coming down the pipeline also; I'll be releasing an edition of the famous Trinosophia among other things.

Principles of Sonic Occultism: Now Available!
The end of 2015 is swiftly approaching and now it's time to announce the final title for the year: "The Principles of Sonic Occultism: Sound as Magic". I'm glad to have finally completed this work, which I first announced back in spring and had already completed by early Autumn, shelving the final proofreading as I worked at editing a pair of works that couldn't wait.
Most occult works which are written in modernity focus either just on history and a secular treatment of magick, or they delve into do it yourself content and have an uncertain view to actual recorded history. With this work, as with its larger cousin "Fruits of Eden" I seek to solve this discrepancy in the occult literary realm. From the Muses of Greece to modern pop music, where is the genuine occult symbolism? How do we categorize the use of occult imagery and sound in mainstream culture? What are these based on? How are they used? How does this relate to society and politics? In this work I've explored all of these concepts and more, putting it all together in a manner which I hope is both user friendly and informative.
