Book thread

[TimberWolf]

Just like all of you, I'm doing this stuff In My Copious Free Time™, hardly being able to read all that I find to be interesting.
However, I believe it to be of paramount importance that we arm ourselves with knowledge.

With academic theses, summaries/synopses are being provided in order to make it easier for other researchers to find relevant information. We ought to do the same. Some time ago, I wrote a summary of Tim Rifat's book about remote viewing, it isn't particularly good, but still an example... It would be a great concept for a thread to feature members' summaries about books that they've read.

This is just a quickly made random list of books that I have NOT read, but find to be interesting for some reason or another. Some of these might already be incorporated into Library of Thoth, but then, it needs to expand...

• 
  Albert Pike - Morals and Dogma
  Goes into great detail about freemasonry, seems pretty tedious read...
  
  Ariel Toaff - Blood Passover
  Carefully researched accounts about human sacrifices performed by yehuborim during renaissance era.
  
  David Morehouse - Psychic Warrior
  IIRC, the high priesthood has referred to this couple of times.
  
  Edward Bulwer-Lytton - Vril, the Power of the Coming Race
  I'm roughly halfway through this one. It's safe to assume that the ground beneath us is filled with caverns, both natural and technological...
  
  Gary Webb - Dark Alliance
  This author "committed suicide" by shooting himself to head twice. This book discusses governments' compliance in drug running. The problems pertaining to illicit psychoactive drugs are a product of societal engineering.
  
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Faust
  One of the most famous books about Satan.
  
  Malleus Maleficarum
  Is long and seems very detailed, have had only a glance. This edition is compiled by wiccans who seem to be opposed to christianity at least superficially.
  
  Michael Aquino - MindWar
  This book discusses large-scale mind control and is written by a high-ranking intelligence officer who has openly maintained a "nazi satanist" image. His own organization, Temple of Set is supposed to be more intelligent and serious than Church of Satan (from where it was forked).
  
  Victor Ostrovsky - By Way of Deception
  This book discusses Mossad operations in detail. IMO, the most interesting aspect is their dependence on sayanim, which further emphasizes that there are no "good yehuborim".

I've been reading the Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad lately as well, which is interesting to people who are interested in the philosophy pertaining to the Death polarity, Black Sun, Nigredo etc. It's a bit elusive as the author is going into his own interpretation and also juggling with creating a fictional character at the same time, but it's also interesting in understanding the late 1800's colonial mindset pre-WW1, the disilliusion of the imperialist ideals which probably fueled into the Great War to begin with, the need of men for a 'final answer' to that dreg of time. Good for understanding aspects of psychology as well I'd say, for those who are inclined.
