General Books

It is my finding that the Occult mind starts very close to the Art mind. Of course, the Occult extends beyond it, but the initiation is very important. I will expand on Occult thought in Esoterica.
Remember to have fun and joy!

Secret History of The World

Mark Booth

Initiation. Imaginative. Take some concepts with grains of salt, yet believe – let your mind open & imagination wander… “Other way around..”. I will say nothing else.

The Expulsion of The Triumphant Beast

Giordano Bruno

Reader beware. The concepts in this book must be transitioned onto, for the mind that is open. It will test your paradigms. It will inspire your inventive mind. All is invented, you will see.

On The Shadows of Ideas & The Art of Memory

Giordano Bruno

Reader beware. The concepts in this book will test your vision and mind. It will inspire your inventive mind. All is invented, you will see.

Paradise Lost

John Milton – Illustrated by Gustave Dore

This book may be read less as the text, and more as its illustrations. Absolutely profound, to say the least. Other famous illustrated versions exist by other artists as well.

Power Dynamics

It should uncover hidden rules the world runs by, and tests morality & ethics. Most men are grey, if not evil. It will be realized that certain rules are set up as a way to deceive and manipulate the populus.
It is not to manipulate, or become unethical – the goal of these books. But it should be to understand, as well as defend oneself. Virtue, morals, ethics, being good, compassionate, understanding, should never be sacrificed in full, if you ask me. But there are harsh realities one must awaken to, or the world and human nature will forever be foreign. Bless the heart that is not corrupt, truly, for it is too rare in this world.
