“The Unknown God: W.T. Smith and the Thelemites” by Martin P. Starr (incomplete)

As Boehme's disciples down the generations — including...>>

Whether we personally "believe" or not, we are all aware of ghosts and the rich mythologies and rituals surrounding them. They have inspired, fascinated and frightened us for centuries — yet most of us are only familiar with the vengeful apparitions of Shakespeare, or the ghastly spectres haunting the pages of 19th century gothic literature. But their origins are much, much older... The First Ghosts: Most Ancient of Legacies takes us back to the very beginning. A world-renowned authority on cuneiform, the form of writing on clay...>>
