      The Magical Writings of Florence Farr

      The Serpent’s Path: The Magical Plays of Florence Farr (this is a smaller pamphlet kinda thing with 4 plays; could be a nice supplement to Rebels and Priestesses)

      The Zinzolin Book of Occult Fiction (22 tales! featuring Crowley and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, could be interesting to choose a few and discuss)

      Taking a look at this Zinzolin Book of Occult Fiction, You’ve got 22 different authors in there so a nice mixed bag. Might be nice to follow the next bookclub up with another fiction offering. I’m still in the first quarter of Sea Priestess but I love it! How did you guys finish this in 3 weeks? I need more time to read

        Sea Priestess was great, I guess we got so deep into the story it became a breeze. Part of me wants to read Moon Magic by Dion Fortune soon-ish too 🙂 The Zinzolin Book of Occult Fiction looks rad though!

      Any requests for anything by Paul Foster Case? 😀

      I’ve have some additional suggestions:

      On The Tarot – Le Monde Primitif. I know we just did a Tarot book – so I’m suggesting it for a reading at a future date. I learned today in a class with Naha that Case, Waite and other authorities on the Tarot have pulled from this book.

      Between Good & Evil by William Gray. I’ve only read a couple of pages and was thinking to myself…. I wonder what Angie would think about that? I wonder if Kirk would know something more about that….

      Also… if the group is interested in taking on something long term, The Book of Self Creation by Jacobus G Swart. However, from what I understand, this is a ‘how to’ book of the Western Mystery Tradition. I don’t want to exclude anyone that is not following or interested in this path. But if every one is game, this is a 500+ page tome that I’d love to tackle with group.

      Thanks for read and I’ll see you at next book club!

      The Divine Invasion by Philip K Dick. It’s a sci fi gnostic parable with a healthy dose of exegesis. My favorite book.

      Egregores or The Path of Alchemy by Mark Stavish
      The Middle Pillar by Israel Regardie
      How To Understand your Bible by Manly P Hall
      The Alchemical Nights by Riccardo Villoanova (MRA)

      I’d also suggest The Ritual and Doctrine of Transcendental (or High) magick by Eliphas Levi; fair warning, it is DENSE and would probably take a lot longer to go through as a book club because the doctrine part is FULL of research wormholes- might even be worth just doing the doctrine part for all the research holes as the ritual section is a lot of foundational old school magic stuff.

      Would the Epic of Gilgamesh or the Bhagavad Gita be in our wheelhouse?

      I’ve desired to tackle this book and would love to do it with this group.

      Also, Manly P Hall’s “The Secret Teachings of All Ages”

      I really would love for us to do this book together as it would be amazing to hear everyone’s thoughts and insight- The O Manuscript by Lars Muhl

        Oooo I’ve been wanting to read that too!

      Bit of an oddball request as it’s not related to occultism or the western mystery tradition, but I’ve had a lot of synchronistic experiences with House of Leaves.

      Have any of you read Grapes of Wrath? It feels like it could fit.

      I second Eva’s Secret Teachings of All Ages (Manly P Hall), either broken into chunks of just a five-week section.

      Also,

      Initiation by Elisabeth Haich
      Mysteries of Magic (Digest) or History of Magic by Eliphas Levi
      Art of the Grimoire by Owen Davies (Oct. release)
      Iamblichus: On the Mysteries
      Collectanea Hermetica
      (…more Dion Fortune!)
      (…any interesting books on Astrology?)

      A collection of occult fiction is a great idea!

      The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron

      ‘Ascend Ascend’ by Janaka Stucky. A book of poetry based on ascending through the Tree and Veils.
