About my libraryMore nonfiction than fiction, with a heavy emphasis on Occult, Metaphysical, Ceremonial Magic, and the like. Also a lot on music with a focus on Punk (which I view as much as a social movement as a genre of music).

One day I'm going to count them, but presently all I know is that my books number in the thousands.

Oh yeah...- I could be wrong, but perhaps the whole thing (see previous) could be summed up in something similar to Regardie's 'Middle Pillar' exercise (I have not looked at the GD stuff in a long time but am currently-among other things, again working with the Tree and Gareth Knight's books).

No sweat- most of us have things more pressing- but thanks...

Anyhow, I see the whole goddess thing -and indeed the 1970s incarnation of the 'feminist movement' as an historical balancing of the prior several thousand+ years of the patriarchial, indeed maschoistic attitudes, to eventually FIND a workable synthesis (a la Kant). Jung's Anima, Animus and Shadow is probably a good analogy on a societal level (a disease of mediagenisis???!!! ;-> ).
This may be the same or similiar underlying idea that lead to Giordano Bruno's death.
Please use my e mail address,chg@ snet.net to continue discussion as these messages collectively take up a lot of space on one's profile page!

Hi again....

Big OOPS! I screwed up....

Gareth Knight wrote THE ROSE CROSS AND THE GODDESS (aka Evoking The GODDESS); Paul Foster Case wrote THE TRUE AND INVISIBLE ROSECRUCIAN ORDER.Embarassing mistake,especially since I have Knight listed as one of my favorite authors!!!

Hi Brian!
In editing and looking over my catalog, I noticed that you recently added Paul Foster Cases' THE ROSE CROSS AND THE GODDESS (just after me!). Have you read or at least perused it and if so what is your opinion of it?
