Two of the longest books in my occult collection are Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy and Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages, the first of which clocks in at just a mere 1024 pages. Now… Three Books of Occult Philosophy—for me at least—isn’t the type of book you just sit down…

Found money… Weekly Recap 8/31/2026
I’ll be honest, I don’t usually find things randomly in the street that aren’t trash. But I do recall one day as a small child—I think my family had just visited a zoo—where I happened upon some treasure. As we were walking back to the car, I noticed a strangely green flash of light in…

Yeah, I haven’t finished it… Weekly Recap 8/24/2026
I have a confession. I’ve yet to actually finish Dune—the book, anyway. I really enjoyed each of the movies. I have, of course, started the book, but here’s my issue: every 2-3 pages, I have to do research. I find myself flipping to the glossary in the back and looking up key terms, except it’s…

Without naming any specifically… Weekly Recap 8/17/2026
I love conspiracy theories. I mean, I don’t believe all of them, but I certainly do find it enjoyable to read about them. Some of them even turn out to be true in the long run. As a general rule of thumb with such things, I find it is helpful to keep an attitude of:…

It is impossible… Weekly Recap 8/3/2026
I don’t have a favorite quote, but here’s a good one: “It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.” -Epictetus Gotta love that stoic wisdom, right? Of course, the original quote was in Greek and the line above is just a common English translation… but I think it still…

In utopian stories, villains are often the most relatable… Weekly Recap 7/27/2026
An interesting thing happens when stories are told about more “evolved” humans: if you tell them for long enough, they get boring. The characters can be too good. The audience—people with flaws—loses the ability to relate. It’s easy to idealize for a moment or two, but there are only so many different ways you can…

Do piles of books count? Weekly Recap 7/20/2026
Do piles of books count as an asthetic? What about the idea that every flat, horizontal surface has the potential to be an altar? Selene and I ran out of bookshelf space years ago.
