Except instead of laser-sharks or conveniently-placed trapdoors, it's another couple thousand words of carefully researched work on historical rites of necromancy...

Scheduling posts makes me feel like a supervillain. Just looking at my watch doing something totally innocuous but counting down like there's going to be some massive explosion which I'm being totally nonchalant about because it was always a part of my sinister and overly complicated machinations.

Not so much a review as a confession: I am enjoying Roland Allen's The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper so much I am finding myself bringing it up to enthuse about and recommend it at the absolute drop of a hat.

Hi there, i'm Sam's colleague who's working on this material. This is incredibly helpful insight, thank you so much! I'd love to discuss it all in more depth privately, especially if you're game for looking at more of these!

Preparing slides for the first class of my new series beginning tomorrow on goetic operations in various historical "Books of Secrets" - sometimes even marketed/hyped as "Books of Supernatural Secrets" - and my one regret is not finding a place to use this image. Yet.

Here's just a wee reminder that my Summer Is A'Coming sale ends soon, so you can still pick up my class and course recordings until Mon 30th at 40% off. Cheers! ☀️
