“The Book of the Hakutaku: A Bestiary of Japanese Monsters” by Matthew Meyer

"Ancient legend tells of an encyclopedia called The Book of the Hakutaku, which was given to the emperor by a magical beast.

“Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto: The Impact of the Astrological Outer Planets” by James Burgess and Julia Sophia

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "Explore the diversity of life expression at the highest level of sacredness through a trio of planetary energies.
