“Shaman and Sage The Roots of “Spiritual but Not Religious” in Antiquity” by Michael Horton (The Divine Self, vol. 1)

"The first volume of Michael Horton’s magisterial intellectual history of "spiritual but not religious" as a phenomenon in Western culture Discussions of the rapidly increasing number of people identifying as “spiritual but not religious” tend to focus on the past century. But the SBNR phenomenon and the values that underlie it may be older than Christianity itself. Michael Horton reveals that the hallmarks of modern spirituality—autonomy, individualism, utopianism, and more—have their foundations in Greek philosophical religion. Horton makes the case that the development of the shaman figure in the Axial Age—particularly its iteration among Orphists—represented a "divine self". One must realize the divinity within the self to break free from physicality and...>>

“Adventures In Woo Woo: Real-World Chaos Magick” by Tommie Kelly

"Have you ever wondered what a magical life looks like for someone who isn't an absolute beginner, but doesn't claim to be an "Ascended Master" either? Adventures in Woo Woo is a refreshingly honest collection of diary-style essays by Irish artist, writer, musician, and chaos magician Tommie Kelly.

“Esoterika: Formulas Against the False Self” by Mitch Horowitz

"A "Philosophy of Results" for our Broken Age In Esoterika, scholar of esotericism Mitch Horowitz draws upon inner teachings to take a hammer to conformity, whether from peers or our therapeutic and spiritual cultures. Beneath this lies the truer self you have lost. The ideas and formulas in Esoterika are an astringent solution to familiar wisdom and authorized paths. The book’s principles, Mitch writes, “if practiced seriously, will change you in positive ways. You will be more agentic, expressive, and, hence, happier. For the determined, this change occurs quickly.” Esoterika reconstitutes neglected fragments from Hermetic (Greek-Egyptian), Abrahamic (Judaic-Christian-Sufi), and modern esoteric, occult, and magickal traditions, and weds them to your lived experience. Everything in its chapters is meant...>>
