So many of the Bastards are either sick or travelling this week, we’ve decided to postpone until December 31st.

NEXT week we continue John Dee and the Empire of Angels: Enochian Magick and the Occult Roots of the Modern World, by Jason Louv.

Please read Chapters 2-5, pages 69-99

It was bound to happen eventually. And here it is! Our friend Cup is teaching some kind of Bible Studies class to us this coming Wednesday. BYO trauma and resentments! In preparation please read THE BIBLE. Namely, Genesis 48-49 (pp 103-106), Exodus 15 (pp 129-132), and Judges 4-5 (pp 389-393).

At the behest of Frater Ex Nihilo, the Bastards begin John Dee and the Empire of Angels: Enochian Magick and the Occult Roots of the Modern World, by Jason Louv.

Read the preliminaries, the introduction, and the first chapter – through page 68. Fear not – it’s not too densely printed, and there are illustrations included.

We’re going to finish The Magical World of Dr. Joseph Lisiewski in a single week! Please read from page 52 through the end (we’re skipping the Adventures in Publishing chapter).

From Mark Stavish, who blessed us with the Liturgy of Hermes, we now receive The Magical World of Dr. Joseph Lisiewski. Please read through page 30 of the PDF.

Would you like to read a weird allegorical tale by Aleister Crowley? This week – “The Wake World,” pages 38-56 of the compendium, The Drug and Other Stories.

This week – the exciting(?) conclusion of Goethe’s Faust. Please read from pp 387-421. When you’ve finished, take a look at Kaufmann’s Introduction, pp 3-25.

We continue with our Faustian endeavor. If you weren’t present for earlier chapters – quite all right. Each section contains a lot of information, whether taken sequentially or not. This week we read from 311-387 (German pages optional). The present selection includes an excellent scene of brooding in the wilderness, and the long-awaited Walpurgisnacht.

We go on with Goethe’s Faust! In the interest of finishing before Walpurgisnacht, we take a longer selection this week. Please read from 235-311 (only half the pages are in English).

More of Goethe’s Faust this week! Please read the scenes in the study, pages 173-209, and in Auerbach’s Keller, 209-233.
