>>41007988looks kino, thx a lot for sharing
>>41008145You can find it for free on anna's archive. :)
>>41008450I already use it regularly, Thank you
Miguel Guerrero, Shadows and LightEsoteric Principles of Knife Fighting.Speaks a lot about the Path of the Warrior. Which depending on who you ask is about total training or Manowar CD collecting.Short book, probably Miguel Guerrero doesnt exist and is an Al, it's an interesting take, nonetheless.
>>41008636i've been chatting with AI about esoteric things lately, this AI man looks and dresses like me and i recently bought a bunch of knives for my knife collection and i always use faux latin surnames online Weird synchronicity
>>41007791This book is so boring and gayI tried to read the first one and couldn’t and I love these subjects
I've ordered Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy, so waiting for them to arrive. In the meantime I'm reading In the Buddha's Words: An Anthology of Discourses from the Pali Canon.
>>41010069I have this book too
>>41010064Based book
for advanced occultists only for lesser acolytes will be driven mad and the profane won't see anything magical at all
>>41011130holy based
>>41011130Thanks for the bump
>>41009840i second this. that book is just a 1000 pages of rebranded gnosticism with extra schizophrenia and made up shit. at least Serrano is entertaining
bump
>>41012372Really, i found it to be the opposite. What i have read of Serrano didnt do much for me.
>>41013136What did you like about the anime for nazis book? I’m genuinely curious
>>41010064Nice pick, i ordered it as well a few days ago. Also bought Black Dragon and Enchiridion crossed keys edition, hopefully it will be good enough for practical work
>>41015246The fourth book is apparently more oriented towards practical magic, although it's debated if the texts were written by Agrippa, it should be a useful addition to the first three.
>>41015436Thanks anonI’ll check this out when I’m not as broke
>>41007778I recommend Techgnosis by Erik Davis. It's like an updated Marshall McLuhan-like view into the meaning of the medium of modern information technology, but also with insights from ancient spirituality, esotericism, and psychedellia. I think it will connect the dots for a lot of people here, who might not otherwise encounter such a book.I'm currently rereading Practical Idealism, or as idiots know it: "The Kalergi Plan to Destroy European Peoples." When you actually read it for yourself, you find that it's not a plan, but a prediction of the inevitable globalizing effects of the march of technology, as it compresses space and time. Though not explicitly esoteric or even spiritual; really this is a political white paper, when you read the book, you immediately sense how broad and deep a mind Kalergi had.Prometheus and Atlas, as well as Closer Encounters, by Jason Reza Jorjani, are extremely /x/ and entertaining. Perfect for most people here, I think.Though the title seems like something you probably would not read, if you like Manly P. Hall ideas at all, his Lectures of Ancient Philosophy (That's the book title.) were a great infusion of spirit for me when I read it.Of course Kaplan's Sefer Yetzirah is required reading. IF you've already read it, read Steinsaltz's The Thirteen Petalled Rose.And if you haven't, definitely read Flatland. It's a potent, fun little story.
>>41015121>page 10Bumped it up for you before it gets archived
>>41011130wtf am i missing
Greetings, chanlanders, I come from beyond the urine sea. I beseech insanities the kind only /x/ would read about, incase anyone was insaner than me, that is, which probably happens.So like, I like these low power toy guns that shoot steel pellets, and I do chaos magick, so I'm merging ideas, but there's not that many things you can do.Know any dedicated material?
>>41017209keyed "schizo" recommendations, appreciated it.
>>41019574I appreciate it, i was outside most of the day lol

dumping some noid-head book recommendations
>>41020818>>41020707>>41020698>>41020683>>41020679so much potential kino here, i am happy to have made the idea for this general, people can always return to the archived threads and dig for all interesting suggestions, thank you for the wonderful contribuitions
>>41021165Of course anon, I'll post a few more. A noided/X book a day keeps the glowies at bay.Highly highly highly recommend "Aberration in the Heartland of the Real" and "Programmed to Kill" above the rest honestly. "Mayhem" is great too because the journalist out of nowhere discovers a third, MKULTRA programmed third Boston Marathon bomber which is a wild adventure.
>>41021476I love your taste despite having not read any of them, you just know which topics are the most thrilling
>>41020227Okay not a book but unironically learn spinning/juggling/etc to get some magic momentum built up in your metal shooty projectile device :3If you're looking for inspiration Revolver Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid 3, motion capture actor Yoshido Tornado, is one of my personal favorites. Also, maybe engravings or etchings but they have to be specific to your intent and so on.
Was inspired to read this because I'm a huge fan of the video games Signalis and the Fear & Hunger games. desu me no good read whole book so fast... however I find this to be a hell of a lot more readable than a lot of H.P. Lovecraft's stories, and yeah I get his writing style is part of the "madness" but sometimes I want a good spooky story that's a little easier to read and this scratches that itch beautifully!
Don't you let them find you here.
>>41021583I see you over there trying to spread the Yellow Sign, anon.Arc Dream Games did a great tabletop RPG version of this called Impossible Landscapes, highly recommend it if you're into D&D or tabletop horror gaming.
>>41021583Nice. I'd add Ambrose Bierce's two short stories: An Inhabitant of Carcosa, and Haita the Shepherd. I enjoyed them enough to buy a book of his collected writings when I saw it at HPB.
