General Update Time Again!

As many of you know, I have pledged never to end the process of editing old occult, paranormal, and historical works. This is part of a greater, very long term project designed to release material to the world in a modern format at a reasonable price, in order to expand the knowledge of the populous.

But I have been absent for months! A few snags hit my work recently; most important of which was due to my own stupidity- I accidentally forgot to back up some of my more recent edited works and lost several volumes which had been completed and were pending illustration.

Oops.

Not to worry though! Five works were successfully backed up on removable storage and are still pending the same, and I have just finished editing a (very good) work which uses both ancient Egyptian and Biblical sources to encourage readers to largely abstain from using salt in their food for both spiritual and medical reasons. I have a pair of works now to edit on the topic of sex worship, phallicism, and gendered symbolism within a historical and spiritual context. Many other works await, and the first editions should begin trickling out some time in July. I have planned for ten releases this year, and ten the next, and thus will slow down my releases, so as not to overwhelm my audience.

This is of course in addition to a number of works I wish to author- some political, some humorous, some occult, and the reworking of "Fruits of Eden" which I still consider my most ample contribution to date.

Onward!

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!

The Mysteries, Pagan and Christian: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

Cheetham's "Mysteries Pagan and Christian" is one of the most insightful volumes on mystic tradition and the mystery schools which I have encountered. It contains a very large section of notes explaining some of the texts' content, and dwells mainly on the concordance between the ancient Greek and Roman mystery tradition (the Orphic, Eleusinian, Bacchic, and other mysteries) and their progress through the early Christian period, and absorption into various religious rites. It derives heavily from ancient sources.

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!

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!

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.

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!

A Call for Help on Amazon

Whether because they have shifted (hopefully temporarily) their algorithms on site related to search, or because of some sort of direct suppression of my content in the same, my paperback sales on Amazon collapsed on the 10th of January, with an over 50% reduction in total output. Digital sales have not seemingly been affected. This indicates a high chance of the former; Amazon has altered its algorithms for some search terms and some of my works have been buried beneath competitors which are more expensive, as Amazon prioritizes cash flow.

Sometimes you will have random days where sales drop precipitously, but never for three days running. Something is afoot. When things are afoot I don't get upset, I look for solutions.

Since Amazons algorithms are in part based on the ratings and reviews present on works, at this time, I ask everyone who has purchased any of my works to leave an honest rating and if possible a short review of the work. Kindly note (I'm talking to you, KDP staff!) I am not asking for fake reviews or for anyone to game the system; only those who have actually purchased my works, to take a few minutes to help out an entirely independent creator who has released over 260 distinct works on Amazon thus far.

To be clear this hurdle will not stop me from continuing the work of releasing more books- but it might cause me to look into additional literary avenues. As always, a main-line tech firms' own decisions hazard the loyalty of its creator base; Amazon has always had my support in part because it was so irreplaceable- but as we all know, profitability is a big basis for that determination. For me, even more, it is a spiritual quest to protect and expand occult knowledge.

Editing Begins Anew!

Alright everyone!

I have finally begun editing new works; I decided to start with a basically rationalist work entitled "A Treatise on Magic" and will proceed through dozens of works through the year. I'd like to have released the 250th edition before New Years' day.

Some of these works will be illustrated- a couple of herbals, a work by Hall, etc. I am proceeding in whatever order I feel appropriate but there will be a large amount ahead.

Praise Stolas!

My Official Website is Now Active

ENTER THE GLORY

Alright everyone!

I am extremely pleased to announce that I now have a personal website. It is not completely done yet but it's in prime form, and will have a few other things added over the future.

And yes, for the many of you who want them, mugs are indeed now available.

Check it out!

General Update: Mostly Good News

It's about time for another update; the end of the year is now very near and my work has slowed slightly as I dream of sugar plums and fairies (or, rather, the burning times, dark spells, and aberrant anthropological literature) but there are several very good things to report now.

1. I am a third of the way through the Canadian Herbal. The (poor) condition of the original text necessitates a more prolonged editing process but caffeine cures all!

2. I have completely edited another combination herbal-and-remedy booklet but have to illustrate it myself; this will take some time.

3. Other probably even better news that I will update everyone on at a later date (but that is highly significant.) Because this is not quite set in stone I won't bother speaking more of it until it is.

4. I have begun mentally outlining the general plot of Sickness in Hell II. I should probably tell you my basic process for works I am myself authoring; I plot it out as though I am mentally imagining a movie, and then break it into what amount to cinematic segments, each then titled, allowing me to use greater detail (because it is being visualized)- this is followed by basic notes and then the story is written.
