r/occultlibrary

Hi!! So, I scrolled for quite a while for book recs on this sub I'm unsure of how to begin the post but I think i'll just get to it? I am quite interested in learning more about gnosticism/modern magic, and am looking for grimoires or any texts that touch on light magic, working with shadows and darkness, spellwork... I guess i just want something that might help me bridge the philosophical with practical magic? I dont know if this helps but some of the deities I work with are Gaia, Lilith, and the Morrigan (Idk if that's relevant but I thought I might drop that in there).

Thank you!!

I noticed no one has any reference material in there library that speaks to music and its magic - music of the spheres - universal connection- healing connection- cymatics. Does music not have a place in hermetics

Just moved from Ohio. Trying to start fresh and have a lot of social anxiety issues so it’s very hard for me to find like minded friends. Trying to learn and be around people with the same interests instead of being the loner I was in Ohio. Would really appreciate any advice anyone has. Sorry I’m new to all of this, I usually just do my own thing and read, read and read :)

If so, wouldn't it be easy to affect celebrities vividly?

Years ago, when visiting other occultists, I would take a look at their libraries and see what titles we had in common. The danger in this was that oftentimes I'd see books I did not know existed, and I'd then hunt down my own copies. The next danger came when I discovered that some occult books have bibliographies. Currently I'm reading Frances Yates's Rosicrucian Enlightenment, and I discovered yet another danger: interesting studies of books contained within the text itself. Might have to pick up a copy of Comenius's Labyrinth of the World.
