Favorite Books

An eclectic mess of fiction and nonfiction: Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend's "Hamlet's Mill," M. John Harrison's "The Pastel City," John Michell's "The View Over Atlantis" (a grand visionary prose poem too often read as fact), Edgar Pangborn's "Davy," Theodore Roszak's "Where the Wasteland Ends," J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings," and Arnold Toynbee's "A Study of History," among too many others.

What I'm Reading

Lewis Spence's "The Magic Arts in Celtic Britain," David Hiley's "Western Plainchant: A Handbook," and a collection of old instructional papers from one of the old Druid orders that folded into the Ancient Order of Druids in America.

Review Excerpt:

Greer has a way of leading the reader along, through technical aspects, to practical experiences in a very enjoyable flow. Personally this feels like one of the few books I’ve actually devoured in recent months, I put more time aside to read it than most books, as I found both the content and the portrayal of it deeply interesting. For students of western occultism, divination, and astrology, this is an extremely interesting text, that I highly recommend.
