We read that in my final year of high school. Heart wrenching, beautiful, trans cultural novel.

This is the only book I’ve read on Qabalah. Why do you recommend it?

Great question! I enjoy how in-depth the explanations are of each concept, and how it offers a more meditative approach. Most texts, take an extremely intellectual approach to the concept. It was also one of the first books I owned that explained “pathworking.”

Other common texts are The Zohar and the Sepher Yetzirah, if you’re interested. I will say that I view all of these as templates as opposed to truths. The menu is not the meal. Haha

“The Metaphysics of War,” by Julius Evola. “Narcissus and Goldmund,” by Hermann Hesse. “The Mystery of Bellicena Vilca,” “Gnostic Fragments” both by Nimrod de Rosario. The last of these will set most folks’ world-view on its ear.

Just wait until I get my book published - Old Uncle Al’s Nasty, Streetwise Grimoire. It’ll be chock-a-block full of cheap, effective methods and distasteful, but true stories from real life. There’ll be something for just about every practitioner seeking to become a Goddess or God. It’ll be a once in a few centuries, one of a kind Magickal treatise.
And one day I’ll get it published, so just wait until then.
I’m going to go to places other Magicians don’t - like the Champagne and Caviar Mysteries, plus menses. Achieving individual, isolated divinity in your bathroom. Vomit Magick, whitewashing the back passage, etc.

Reminds me of something Corneliu Zalea Codreanu said of yore: “Nations die for lack of men, not lack of ideas.” Does the world need MORE tomes on magic? Or just practitioners who “wissen, willen, wagen, dann schweigen.” (know, will, dare, stay silent)?

I’m a Magician who’s changed the future of the globe, but obviously it’s politics so I can’t post. Moreover, I’m bound by The 4th Law of The Sphinx.
Back in 2006 I used reverse Paradigm Magick, by keeping the paradigms intact but changing the background reality. This was via email.
If you live in Australia, New Zealand or Canada my strong advice is to learn Mandarin, because back in 2006, Lord Charlie Falconer showed us how to prove that the Vice-Regal Appointment documents were fakes, created by Straw and in mid-2018 we received a timeline. There are also Defence Advisory Notices (or similar) in all three countries, so their medias won’t report.
