Three Reading Questions

I like the idea of sharing what I’m reading at any given time. I’ll be striving for monthly updates here (I just always seem to forget about my Goodreads account).

Snagged from [personal profile] fannyfae.

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…

1) What are you currently reading?
2) What did you recently finish reading?
3) What do you think you’ll read next?

1. The Candle and the Crossroads: A Book of Appalachian Conjure and Southern Root-Work by Orion Foxwood. I’m just now starting this one after hearing the awesome interview on Deeper Down the Rabbit Hole Episode 91 with Orion Foxwood. The podcast is wonderful, and I heartily recommend listening to it if American Witchcraft is at all part of your interest area.

2. The Book of Baphomet by Julian Vayne and Nikki Wyrd. Calling Baphomet the the anima mundi, the book traces the cultural and spiritual development of Baphomet in humanity’s (sub)conciousness. It is an interesting book, and the history of this Great Spirit is well researched and fascinating to follow. The opening chapter, The Song of Life, is the most poetic and evocative description of how life began and evolved over the aeons that I have ever read.

I really just finished reading this one from the Kindle lending library. I cannot recommend it enough and will be ordering a physical copy for myself this week. Additionally, I will be working on a proper review to add to the blog soon.

3. Make Magic of Your Life: Passion, Purpose, and the Power of Desire by T. Thorn Coyle. After posting about how I use the Magician’s Pyramid, I heard about this newest offering from Thorn. I enjoyed her other published works, so have added this to my list.

“To attain the SANCTUM REGNUM, in other words, the knowledge and power of the Magi, there are four indispensable conditions–an intelligence illuminated by study, an intrepidity which nothing can check, a will which cannot be broken, and a prudence which nothing can corrupt and nothing intoxicate. TO KNOW, TO DARE, TO WILL, TO KEEP SILENCE–such are the four words of the Magus, inscribed upon the four symbolical forms of the sphinx.”

Transcendental Magic by Eliphas Lévi
