“Internet and the Hermetic Secrets of Globalization” by Nicolas Bonnal

Magick Matters

"This book is based on a profound study of the Bible, Hebrew Kabbalah and Greek-Roman mythology. The whole symbolism of the network and of globalism is of biblical, cabalistic and initiatory essence. Three parts plus an appendix make up this brief work. One evokes the Bible (Genesis, Job and the Psalms) and the traditional Hebrew Kabbalah, the other the techno-gnosis and cyber-mysticism. It examines the hidden side of the genius of the Anglo-Saxon mind since the Renaissance. The last part deals with retro-futurism, a notion that with the Aquarius mindset mixes old mystical thoughts and current trends based on technology. Finally, an appendix explains by a glossary of the studied concepts."...>>

“Comet Madness: How the 1910 Return of Halley’s Comet (Almost) Destroyed Civilization” by Richard J. Goodrich

Magick Matters

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "Halley’s Comet visits the earth every seventy-five years. Since the dawn of civilization, humans had believed comets were evil portents. In 1705, Edmond Halley liberated humanity from these primordial superstitions (or so it was thought), proving that Newtonian mechanics rather than the will of the gods brought comets into our celestial neighborhood. Despite this scientific advance, when Halley’s Comet returned in 1910 and astronomers announced that our planet would pass through its poisonous tail, newspapers gleefully provoked a global hysteria that unfolded with tragic consequences. In Comet Madness, author and historian Richard J. Goodrich examines the 1910 appearance of Halley’s Comet and the ensuing frenzy sparked by media manipulation, bogus science, and outright deception....>>

“A Mystery of Mysteries: The Death and Life of Edgar Allan Poe” by Mark Dawidziak

Magick Matters

"A Mystery of Mysteries is a brilliant biography of Edgar Allan Poe that examines the renowned author’s life through the prism of his mysterious death and its many possible causes. It is a moment shrouded in horror and mystery. Edgar Allan Poe died on October 7, 1849, at just forty, in a painful, utterly bizarre manner that would not have been out of place in one of his own tales of terror. What was the cause of his untimely death, and what happened to him during the three missing days before he was found, delirious and "in great distress" on the streets of Baltimore, wearing ill-fitting clothes that were not his own? Mystery and horror. Poe,...>>

“Buddhist Biology: Ancient Eastern Wisdom Meets Modern Western Science” by David P. Barash

Magick Matters

"Many high-profile public intellectuals — including "New Atheists" like Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and the late Christopher Hitchens — have argued that religion and science are deeply antagonistic, representing two world views that are utterly incompatible. David Barash, a renowned biologist with forty years of experience, largely agrees with them, but with one very big exception: Buddhism. In this fascinating book, David Barash highlights the intriguing common ground between scientific and religious thought, illuminating the many parallels between biology and Buddhism, allowing readers to see both in a new way. Indeed, he shows that there are numerous places where Buddhist and biological perspectives coincide and reinforce each other. For instance, the cornerstone ecological concept —...>>
