“The Book of Confessions: Occult and Esoteric Secrets” by C.A. Toure

Magick Matters

"The occult has been shrouded in mystery and convoluted terminology. The Book of Confessions removes that shroud and demystifies this sphere of human existence. It is the birthright of whoever desires to know this dimension of life to have access.

These formerly obscured secrets, revealed in the Book of Confessions in layman’s terms, could be what you need to spice up your life or synergise your spiritual study. This book is a concise introduction to occultism and esotericism, which skips the fear-mongering and idle dismissal. Offering a new perspective on the...>>

“An Anthropology of Nothing in Particular” by Martin Demant Frederiksen

Magick Matters

"There have been claims that meaninglessness has become epidemic in the contemporary world. One perceived consequence of this is that people increasingly turn against both society and the political establishment with little concern for the content (or lack of content) that might follow. Most often, encounters with meaninglessness and nothingness are seen as troubling. "Meaning" is generally seen as being a cornerstone of the human condition, as that which we strive towards. This was famously explored by Viktor Frankl in Man’s Search for Meaning in which he showed how even in the direst of situations individuals will often seek to find a purpose in life. But what, then, is at stake when groups of...>>

“The Road to Conscious Machines: The Story of AI” by Michael Wooldridge

Magick Matters

"In this myth-busting guide to AI past and present, one of the world's leading researchers shows why our fears for the future are misplaced. The ultimate dream of AI is to build machines that are like us: conscious and self-aware. While this remains a remote possibility, rapid progress in AI is already transforming our world. Yet the public debate is still largely centered on unlikely prospects, from sentient machines to dystopian robot takeovers. In this lively and clear-headed guide, Michael Wooldridge challenges the prevailing narrative, revealing how the hype distracts us from both the more immediate risks that this technology poses - from algorithmic bias to fake news - and the true life-changing potential of the...>>
