| Author | Anton Szandor LaVey |
| ISBN | 0380015390 |
I grew up on the same block that Anton LaVey lived on. To me as a kid he was, "that old guy who only wore black leather, drove a black Jaguar, and lived in a big, black house with an equally big fence in front of it." Can't say I ever recall seeing him talk to anyone, though my mother would occasionally chat with...
Alexandre Dumas’s most famous tale— and possibly the most famous historical novel of all time— in a handsome hardcover volume.
This swashbuckling epic of chivalry, honor, and derring-do, set in France during the 1620s, is richly populated with romantic heroes, unattainable heroines,...
Civilization and Its Discontents
| Author | Sigmund Freud |
| ISBN | 0393301583 |
It stands as a brilliant summary of the views on culture from a psychoanalytic perspective that he had been developing since the turn of the century. It is both witness and tribute to the late theory of mind—the so-called structural theory, with its stress on aggression, indeed the death drive, as...

Ommmm, I want to immerse myself in the robed peace of the Tibetan monks. Here's a paraphrased excerpt from the Introduction of this book: A lotus is born in the muck and mud at the bottom of a swamp, but when it emerges on the surface of the water and opens its petals, a beautiful flower appears, unstained...
| Author | Peter J. Carroll |
| ISBN | 0877286396 |
I wasn't terribly impressed with this book at the time I read it, although it does contain some interesting material. Essentially it is the compiled handbooks (or "libers") of the Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT, worked out by Peter Carroll and others during the 1970s and early 1980s. The IOT prides...
Traditional Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Ways

Prime Chaos: Adventures in Chaos Magic
| Author | Phil Hine |
| ISBN | 1561841374 |
Let's face it, I'm never going to finish this book. While I want to enjoy chaos magic, I find it all so cerebral and poorly described. It often reads like libertarianism with a mystical bent. Be whatever you want to be. Try all ideas. Oh, and control the world with magic, maybe.
I really want to like...
