In 1841, the body of beautiful tobacco store employee Mary Rogers was found dead in New York City's East River.

Though not generally perceived as graceful, crows are remarkably so—a single curve undulates from the tip of the bird’s beak to the end of its tail. They take flight almost without effort, flapping their wings easily and ascending into the air like spirits. Crow by Boria Sax is a celebration of the...
Golden Gate: The Life and Times of America's Greatest Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge links the urbanity of San Francisco with the wild headlands of Marin County, as if to suggest the paradox of California and America itself-the place that Fitzgerald saw as the last spot commensurate with the human capacity for wonder. The bridge, completed in 1937, also announced...
The Elder Eddas of Saemund Sigfusson; and the Younger Eddas of Snorre Sturleson
This book is so incredibly interesting. I've always been interested in Germanic (or should I say Odinic?) mythology, but I had never actually read anything about it, until I came across this eBook on the Project Gutenberg website. It was glorious.
The book consists of 2 different sources,...
Curious Myths of the Middle Ages
| Author | Sabine Baring-Gould |
This work does its best to discredit original folklore and mythologies by claiming they were naught but a bad influence on the later 'purified,' Christianized versions so heavily employed by the Church to lure a more pagan following into the pews. In fact, the author asserts their influence should...

The Law Is For All: The Authorized Popular Commentary of Liber Al Vel Legis Sub Figura CCXX, the Book of the Law

Crowley's life and thought are inexorably linked with 'The Book of the Law.' He received this visionary work by direct-voice dictation in Cairo in 1904. As an intelligent sceptic, he first found this improbable means of communication difficult to accept. Yet he could not ignore it or its message. He...
