New library acquisition, a gift from a ministerial mentor and friend. I am teaching this book next Spring. Now to figure out how to condense it into eight two hour lectures (and shoehorning in my own work translating Socinian documents into English).

Weekly shameless self promotion. I wrote a constructive theology book for school... as an urban fantasy novel. Warning: contains Esoterica, superheroes, punk rock, Queer romance and multi-religious syncretism.

Check it out here:

This is my mantra for these times, borrowed from Alan Moore's Watchmen.

"None of you understand. I'm not locked in here with YOU. YOU'RE locked up in here with ME."

Bluesky esoteric book challenge. A book per day (it's okay to skip days if you're really busy), in no particular order, until you've shared ALL of the best occult books in your personal library. No explanations, no reviews, just covers!

This is my take away from last term. Not my first Fall (says the esotericist), but I learned a lot. Have so much work to do.
