Weird occult books

I want weird and occult books and reccomedations. The more esoteric and weird, the better.

>>3549 I can recommend the Magia naturalis et innaturalis attributed to Doktor Faustus. You can get the old German edition for free on archive.org and there's apparently been a recent English edition too. It's mainly got spirit summoning and some puffery. Also, treasure finding magic, as the Faustian tradition indicates.

Excerpts by robert anton wilson, you can probably pirate the books yourself, http://www.rawilson.com/sitemap.html Lots of occult books by theosophyical society founded and most books written by helena blavatsky, a famous and infuental psychic https://www.theosociety.org

These guys are my favourite occult wingnuts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Wallace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Sharpe_Shaver https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Parsons_(rocket_engineer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Russell

I can recommend Prometheus Rising https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus_Rising , gets weirder and weirder If blogs turned into books suits you, I can recommend ecosophias essays https://www.ecosophia.net/blogs-and-essays/the-well-of-galabes/ , he almost makes magick look rational

>>3554 I don't really get what is weird with Prometheus Rising but it is in fact expanding on ideas by Timothy Leary and Anton Wilson is a damn good writer, his books are always complicated but easy to grok. Pretty damn good.

Cyclonopedia.

Obvious option: cyberia by douglas rushkoff Not so much occult but weird sure as hell.

>>3549 did you ever read "The Dragon-Book of Essex"?

>>3549 There are a few that I have heard of, notably >Clavis Inferni >The Grimoire of Pope Honorius I used to know of quite a few, but these are the only ones I could remember right now

Try the Voice of Silence - Helena Blavatsky The coming race - Edward Bulwer-Lytton, The Ego and Its Own - Max Stirner Transhumanism - Toward a Futurist Philosophy - Max More

Here's my small contribution: /fringe/ library with plenty of links to other places https://8kun.top/fringe/library.html Circles of Power by John Michael Greer is good for Golden Dawn type stuff http://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=C91BFE17A1A1830329EE9149F83765D1 Chaos Magic homebrew: http://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=5BD8EF1B5A1E55ABB655A705E0975737 Austin Spare's kiaism helps with this approach: https://hermetic.com/spare/pleasure

Why do you want weird occult books? And what kind/theme? Im curious if its just for entertainnment or you want to find something.

>>3883 Chumbley is a good idea, Qtub and The Azoëtia are masterpiece work of arts regardless of opinion on the esoteric

Ive actually been reading up on Theosophy a lot recently and have gone through some of the movements fundamental texts. - Isis Unveiled - The Secret Doctrine Both of these are massive tomes that basically link every occult system religion and spiritual movement on earth along with myths and legendary history into blavatsky's personal theorem. "Esoteric Buddhism" and the Theosophy society's offical QaA (In book form) are also good. "The secret teachings of all ages" is also good. Its basically just a reference book cataloguing every occult symbol and meaning in history written by anactual 33o mason

Look into Thomas Browne, John Dee, Agrippa, Jacob boehme, Paracelsus, Count st Germaine, iamblichus, Kenneth grant, abulafia, Johannes Valentinus Andreae, basil valentine and al-hallaj

Has anyone managed to find an occult book that seems to actually reflect some real occult presence. They're cool and all but until I find something 'real' I'd rather just stick to occult fiction where they can do whatever they want without just being the ramblings of a charlatan or schizophrenic.

>>5301 What exactly do you mean? I might have a hunch but i read so many occult books im not sure how to exactly narrow down what it that you seek.

>>5302 Are there any occult books you have read that actually seem to reflect some real supernatural presence, its a lot to ask for and potentially there are no examples but I'm curious in reading occult books that fellow lains think have stumbled upon something real. Rather than reading something that only really worked for a 19th century audience.

>>5304 Real like as in accounts of physical encounters with supernatural beings? Funny you say 19th century, here is a book from that are that seems to detail such an account, its difficult getting used to the writing style of that age, i havent finished it yet but it might be for you then. https://www.sacred-texts.com/earth/eti/index.htm Its rare to find books on encounters, supernatural beings by definition are somewhat hard to identify directly. Theres a soykafton of really freaky alien encounters that might be more of your interest.

Check out The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas. It was censored by the CIA. They now host a copy, though it is missing dozens of pages that the original contained

>>5301 no. "The Occult" as it is today was pretty much initiated by the Golden Dawn, which was just a bunch of charlatans making up hooey. Real occult soykaf would never be so visible or accessible. They're real secrets, not the kind of "secrets" you can find online.

>>5328 A later edition of the book isn't censored though. I found info describing it here https://speculativehistoryonline.wordpress.com/2019/04/12/a-look-at-the-adam-and-eve-story-and-a-biography-of-its-elusive-author-chan-thomas/

>>3549

>>3549 Also check out the Typhonian Trilogies by Grant and Voudon Gnostic Workbook by Bertiaux. Both are blissfully on libgen and b-ok. (fuarrrking expensive for hard copies)

Many of these works are super niche, how exactly do they get published? Are they picked up by appropriately small publishers? Say that I'd like to publish a book on some bizarre, niche subject like the ones in this thread, how do I get it printed and distributed?

The Dragon Legacy by Nicholas De Vere. Seems to have strange insider occult info from being in secret cults and having an autistic obsession with his family bloodline which he claims ancient royal descent. So much so that he declared himself a prince but if nobility is akin to knowledge I would dare say he probably is. Contains details on literally vampyric bloodrites and a foreword by a woman I dare not mention who died in mysterious circumstance.

>>3550 >Magia naturalis et innaturalis To any dabblers out there. Be careful what you get yourself into. Do not get into pacts like Faust did, you can lose your mind and your soul. And dont go anywhere near the Goetia, unless you are a monk, purifed and trained for the task. These are not things to be taken lightly.

>>5453 Do you mean the full Goetia, or the portion that was published by Aleister Crowley? I have a copy of the latter as well as the book "Dictionary of Demons" by Michelle Belanger. Belanger herself is said to be a bit of a fraud, but it was helpful of her to collect all the demon entries into one book. I can't speak for OP, but I personally collect books like these for story ideas, entertainment, and so forth. I've no intention of casting spells or anything. I like reading up on the occult, but I'm more of science person.

>>3549 Treatise on the Reintegration of Beings was written by Martinez de Pasqually, who founded the 18th century French masonry-inspired magical order of the Elus Coen which then would go on to inspire the Christian esoteric movement of Martinism which then went on to inspire the Golden Dawn. This book is the foundation of mystical Martinist and Elus Coen ideas, stating that man is a spirit who has fallen from his original state and relationship with God and that he must be reintegrated to the Kingdom of Heaven by the prophets and Christ’s guidance. This informed the magic of the Elus Coen heavily, as it much of it is centred around reintegrating the self and even demonic fallen beings with the divine. The Green Book of the Elus Coen includes many of the rituals and material of the system of magic of that Elus Coen practiced, but it is by no means even close to portraying the full proper system that was practiced, The Original High Degrees and Theurgical System of the Masonic Elect Cohen Knights of the Universe is a recent translation that translates more of the magical material into English and modernises them but for now (at least in the English world) most of the magic of the Elus Coen is guarded by orders and their secrets which one must join to access. The Elus Coen system could be summed up by Enochian and angelic magic, theurgy, Goetia for the sake of binding demons and raising them into the light and exorcism. A lot of the material was taken from medieval grimoires and cabalistic works, which were rumoured to fall into Martinez’s hands due to his father being involved in the Spanish Inquisition. Martinez de Pasqually died in Hiati and it is known that a lot of Elus Coen magical rituals are still practiced to this day there: https://www.youtube.com/user/KnightofBenevolence for the Haitian rituals https://www.youtube.com/c/OrdreMartinistesSouverains/videos for more information

Here you go OP: Secret Cipher of the UFOnauts It doesn't get much weirder than gematria and ufology

>>5301 You’ll never know until you practice

>>5301 I have had experiences that you could describe as supernatural or paranormal or whatever that were the result of doing witchcraft. As far as I know, I don't have schizophrenia or something like it and my experiences with phenomena that aren't explainable as anything other than supernatural or the result of some undiagnosed mental illness have been confined to me doing things intentionally. It's honestly not that hard to get into this sorta soykaf if you go into it with an open mind and be prepared to use belief as a tool. Read a book on chaos magick like Condensed Chaos if you want a relatively easy and accessible starting point, or a book on the history of occultism if you want to get acquainted with what's out there and find something that interests you, and then just do it.

>>5383 >>6772 Reading those right now, some highly fascinating stuff, thanks so much for sharing. >>6768 That is highly interesting info, glad you shared it. >>6773 Thats pretty much it, until you try you wont know for sure, but be prepared for it to succeed, weird soykaf is bound to happen if you have the right mindset.

>>3549 try Böhme Aurora

>>6776 Look what I got

>>7386 Oops, I meant to link megaDOTnz/file/E5sQgILK#X9C66QZHns4M8aoozaTOyIU4C-TNVRjokHbp0bQCb4Q>>7386

Cabala, Spiegel der Kunst und Natur in Alchymia_1663

>>3549 posted in the lit share thread, but clavis inferni is pretty interesting, its about summoning demons and sheit, written by a guy who was a saint

Also, read Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce (fringe liked it). Research nei kung and qigong.

>>7845 >their was a fringechan man i would have loved that place

These are some personal favorites.

Also these are fantastic as well.

Heres a few last ones for the day.

Scithain, though hard to find. Said to be one of the darkest books on the occult. Written by a former O9A member who went to prison for torturing someone or something

>>5301 No idea if this counts, but I read the Egyptian Book of the Dead once and started hemorrhaging blood a couple hours after. It stopped when I decided to give up reading. Is it all in my head?

Just read this one recently, absolutely phenomenal kino

This book is absolutely fantastic and highly illuminating.

I found this old book (1922) somewhere, where the author "Premel El Adaros" claims to teach you how to reach a "superconcious mind", e.g. get 8h of sleep in 15 minutes. After 4 pages it just reads like a scam and this guy wanted to sell useless stuff, e.g. crystals. What bothers me is that you can’t find any real information about this online, neither the book nor the author. While the book is listed in library catalogues, it seems that there is no additional information. Does anyone know more about this?

This probably should at least be mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Book_(Jung)

>trusting magic to not only be real but also be beneficial

These books are absolutely fantastic.

>>8992 Huh, that Sufi Freemasons one looks strange. AFAIK there is no real connection between Sufism and Masonry, and while Sebottendorff does seem to know a little bit when it comes to abjad letters, some of the stuff he talks about here is new to me. Anyone claiming to be a Bektashi after that point is suspicious. The Bektashiyyah were disbanded by force in the 1820s and the stuff modern Bektashis preach don't match those the movement traditionally practiced. I suspect the Bektashi order is a Victorian era bunch of fakes.

>>8993 I havent read that last one yet but the first two I have read several times. Heres a new one I found that looks amazing.

>Recommended Reading List >https://file.io/8W0jUNAlhboi

>This was highly recommended >https://rubedo.press/alchemical-traditions >Just pre-ordered it

>heres some of the best modern work on occultism available >>5383 read this recently very interesting stuff. thanks for sharing.

>>9171 >Also these by the same author

>>3549 https://z-lib.is/book/genuflect The most prophetic and terrifying book ever written

Fosforos by Johannes Nefastos. I wouldnt call it weird but its essential and I always recommend it first when talking about esoteric literature

Waited years to read this and am so glad I did. One of the best of all time. >https://sacred-texts.com/grim/abr/index.htm

Perhaps one day someone will finally have Changeling by Aidan wachter

>>9795 Perhaps one day someone will finally have this ~ >https://www.amazon.de/Ph%C3%B6nix-Handbuch-praktischen-Spagyrik-Alchemie/dp/3591084328 >https://archive.org/details/daniel-hornfisher-loewe-und-phoenix >https://www.theoldcraft.com/2020/05/24/interview-daniel-hornfisher-traditional-high-and-practical-alchemy-spagyrics-21st-century/

>>3549 Architects of Deception : Secret History of Freemasonry by Jüri Lina

If you want something practical, read Modern Magick by Donald Kraig. >>3549 Picatrix? >https://www.renaissanceastrology.com/picatrix.html Also, Geomancy by Agrippa/Pseudo-Agrippa. >https://www.renaissanceastrology.com/agrippageomancy.html >https://youtu.be/WBbt-2VeoSU Also, this channel has a lot of videos covering all sorts of occult texts: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEsotericaChannel/videos There are also some texts in the numerology thread: >>9013 >>9910 >>9891

Where can I find books that combine the occult with tech?

>>7823 A very interesting website. Thank you for this.

>>3549 War in Heaven by Kyle Griffith. Source: https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/vida_alien/warinheaven/warheaven-III.htm (loads of occult/conspiracy materials on that site)

I see that O9A has gotten quite a bit of inspiration from some of these texts.

>>10072 O9A mentioned lainchan is forcing me to write a longer post ignore this

I'm personally interested in more practical or exoteric applications of magic. The rejection of material reality in many occult books just comes off as new age cancer to me to be honest and I don't feel like sifting through the same old hermetic lectures to find something worthwhile. "It's all in the mind bro just use your imagination or something" >>10074 Why not try manipulating peoples perception of you or manipulating people / animals to carry out your will? It accomplishes the same goals and is basically the same thing if you can make it a second nature. Have fun raping dozens of people with your soul ;D

>>10075 Because it isn't about having power over others. It's about being, becoming, experiencing. Does having the one form never seem stifling to you? Children know what it is to wish to be a bird or a tiger for its own sake, but we forget. Cheap tricks and smoke and mirrors don't hold my attention. I want the real thing, which is either in the realm of the "impossible" or, with some very small but nonzero chance for the honest mind, in the realm of uncommonly potent hidden magic.

>>10074 first you have to UPROOT that subconscious doubt written all over your attempts or you will never get even the fragrance, a whiff of the real deal Then, of course it's easy but let me explain Consider the Tree of Life Diagram Imagine Malkuth as The World... the world you live in, but like, this world is an echo of the real Actual World. This world that you see-sense-taste, it's like living in the parking garage of the real world. You can sort of hear reverberations of the real world bouncing off the walls, but its 3 am and no one's around, and occasionally something really fuarrrked up happens and there's a stillbirth going on in some corner. That's the world everyone lives in. Time to leave and go experience real life. Maybe spend a year REALLY experiencing, taking note, of how unreal, waxen, false the reality presented by the 5 senses is. Above Malkuth are 3 paths. For what you want to achieve, you want to go left (or right, depending on how you're facing), towards Hod. Talk to Hermes / Anubis / Hermanubis. Have him give you a familiar. This familiar will teach you what you need to know about shapeshifting. Study talismans, and create and consecrate a talisman to seal this deal. This is the path of the Were-Wolf, shapeshifter, other-form taker. The Middle Path towards Yesod is for Zombies, and the Right Path towards Netzach is for Vampires. GL/HF.

>>10079 excellent insight... you're well on your way. yes, it is 'reflected' in the mind, you need (to work by) the 'light of the moon', yesod. so you generate these forms as your astral vehicle. then of course there's the remainder, 'well how do i make it "real" though?' there are methods to transfer things from the astral to the physical, it is a thin enough veil. it may take millions of years of slow grinding evolution for some, for others it can be spoken in but a single word. CC's don juan talks about this type of power a lot.

>>5450 Talking for nowadays, you could edit / print your book by yourself. This is actually what bad writers do.

>>3549 https://adnilarchive.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/enmanglement.pdf

Finally reading this, absolutely based.

>>10062 Highly recommend this. Just finished it. Did not even realize it was already posted here haha.

Its a special kinda day when the files I have been trying to find for the past 5 years finally show up. Stay blessed frens. This is the year.

Starting sunday night gonna be finally get around to reading a long awaiting and extremely rare Occult work, the Complete Works of George Ripley. Only 100 copies were printed and I got one of them, was expensive but extremely worth it. Highly recommend seeing if any copies are still left for sale if your interested in Alchemy.

>>10862 Thank you for sharing! Doesn't get said enough. >>10863 Looks sick. If you own it you could turn that one copy into many. You'd be a real wizard. Consider it.

>>10865 Maybe one day in the far future, but since its a small publication from some people who worked incredibly hard for years to create something for a niche community of people who really value it I think its best that it remain rare and prized for some years to come.

>>10866 I don't mind waiting a decade if so. Enjoy it!

>>10867 Already read over half of it. Absolutely heroic stuff. Over half of it can be found piecemeal by looking for free pdfs online, but there are parts of it that are new english translations never before published publicly. This is definitely one of the latest IC Green-Lights for public release, books like this do not just simply get written and released openly. Glory be to God for the Miracle of The Work, and Thanksgiving for Our Beloved ancestor Master Sir George Ripley. Its been said the direct reference has been yet to be brought to light as to where and when he was Knighted (hence the Sir in Sir George Ripley) but upon one smokey night I came upon such a reference with great joy, and it seems to be that he was Royally Knighted in The Heart of Zion. Shouts of joy for the man, who made school boys of us all, Sir George Ripley! >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1IGpIVKEBI

Been meaning to read this one for a few years now, finally started it, absolutely premium kinography

There is a lot of classical works of Hindu religions such as hinduism, buddhism on wisdomlib.org. (Hindu religions are very very weird at least for myself, and late Buddhism has a clear tendency towards esotericism.)

Just started this recent translation of an absolute classic (although unfinished) work. Definitely another epic IC Green-Light. Only read the first couple dozen pages but this book is rising rapidly to the top of my favorites list.

This one up next, been saving this for years. Already flipped through it, looked primo.

Omg thank you!!!! There’s a thread for this.

What should i start with as a complete beginner? I read some tangential works like Jung books on psychology and alchemy, and now i have read Fanged Noumena (i'm really fascinated by computers and networks as occult objects) and looking at the bibliography some qabbalah and Crowley stuff is mentioned. I really don't know what to read though given the immense repository of stuff avaliable. I want to learn how to perform magic and sigils (not to make money, i probably intuitively understand it's like shadow work in jungian terms) and if you also have some recs like fanged noumena let me know!

Start by learning about the pitfalls of sorcerers apprentice syndrome. Happens to the best of us.

>>11020 >What should i start with as a complete beginner? >I want to learn how to perform magic and sigils How to Start Start by reading Liber Null by Carroll and Hands-on chaos magic by Vitimus. Other books that are worth reading later * Kybalion * stuff by Agrippa (esp. three books of occult knowledge, prefer the translation by eric purdue if you can) * stuff by Crowley but note that he shouldn't be taken literally always! * The Secret Teachings of All Ages (by Manly P. Hall) * Pictorial Key To Tarot * Astral Dynamics and New Energy Ways (both are written by Robert Bruce) * Greer's books on geomancy * Astrology books that teach vedic astrology or ancient/medieval/renascence astrology * The Emerald Tablet You can find some texts at Sacred Texts site. Also, start meditating and doing energy work.

>>11023 thank you so much anon, you're very kind.

>>11026 NTA but download the pdfs posted in this thread and read them.

Does this count? http://web.archive.org/web/20150401054250/http://www.avg51.land.ru/ In Russian. Obscure and not quite like anything else. His threads are too worth a read: http://forum.sufism.ru/index.php?board=55.0 Gurdjieff and Carlos Castaneda background.
