Did anyone read it? @linebaugh ? @catalog ? I thought it was good. He's talking about the imagination and metamorphosis and manages to draw in Jung, Nietzsche, Blake, D&G, DeLanda, Emerson, Bruno, Machen and a few others.

Here's the list from last year, mostly stressing the pre-Platonic, Platonic, Neoplatonic stream:


Egyptian Magic -- Wallis Budge
Ancient Egyptian Religion -- Henri Frankfort
The Egyptian Book of the Dead -- Wallis Budge trans.
The Mind of Egypt -- Jan Assman

Early Greek Philosophy [full Pre-Socratic fragments]

Selected Platonic dialogues (order assigned by Iamblichus):
Gorgias
Phaedo
Cratylus
Theaetetus
Sophist
Statesman
Phaedrus
Symposium
Philebus
Timaeus
Parmenides

The Middle Platonists -- John Dillon
Plutarch's Morals

Neoplatonism -- R.T. Wallis
On the Mysteries of the Egyptians, Chaldeans, and Assyrians -- Iamblichus

This year, the concentration is on the Bablyonian (actually starting with the Paleolithic/Neolithic)-Jewish-Christian-Gnostic-Mystico-theological stream. Naturally there will be some overlap from last year.

Here we go:

Jupiter Fuse -- Clayton Eshleman (poetic musings on Paleolithic cave art -- the first texts)
Plato Prehistorian -- Mary Settegast (the Neolithic, including Plato's Atlantis myth)

The Treasures of Darkness -- Thornkild Jacobsen (the first Mesopotamian texts)
Myths of Babylonian and Assyria -- Donald A. Mackenzie
In Search of Zarathustra -- Paul Kriwaczek

The Holy Bible -- King James Version (the version which most influenced subsequent literature)

Pistis Sophia -- G.R.S. Mead trans.
The Nag Hammadi Library -- James A. Robinson ed.
The Gnostic Gospels -- Elaine Pagels
Adam, Eve and the Serpent -- Elaine Pagels
The Gnostic Religion -- Hans Jonas
The Other Bible -- Willis Barnstone ed.
Echoes from the Gnosis -- G.R.S. Mead
The Doctrine of the Subtle Body in the Western Tradition -- G.R.S. Mead

Origins of the Kabbalah -- Gershom Scholem
On the Kabbalah and Its Symbolism -- Gershom Scholem

The City of God -- Saint Augustine
The Complete Works -- Pseudo-Dionysius
Eriugena -- John J. O'Meara
On the Cosmic Mystery of Jesus Christ -- St. Maximus the Confessor

Again, this list is pretty arbitrary; mostly I chose these books because they are on my shelves. They could be supplemented. But last year's books were completely enlightening (in an otherwise dark year) and these ones look even better.

Who's with me? Only 21 books!

Mr. Tea

Let's Talk About Ceps
Has he had anything to say about aliens since "Yeah of course aliens have been visiting us for decades, like duh" became the standard normie position, thus forcing conspiranauts into a "But that's what they want you to think" position by default?
