Isis Unveiled, a bunch of Rosicrucian stuff, some Manly P Hall ,etc etc

i grabbed a few (not enough, but too much even!)…

one year later, went back the same day (thanksgiving) and there were more books… not as good a selection… but still…

that would be my introduction to the “occult”….

but there are a whole bunch of things that went down before that, where i knew something was different than i had thought it was….

taking acid when i was younger was probably one of the first steps…. then several “mystical” occurances… the meanings of which im still not sure, that i would consider occult in their nature…

but until i found those books… i was into mostly philosophy & techno-whatever (Rushkoff etc..) & Socialism (marx, huey p., walter rodney) & religious texts (bible, apocrypha, kebra negast) ….and then when i found that Blavatsky book, i realized wholy shit… there is a lot im not checking…

When that failed, he introduced me to magick. As a teen, I had a friend who tried to seduce me with Poe poems and guitar songs. When that failed, he introduced me to magick.

The most I can say is that one day I found a book about Dr John Dee at my local library. I have no idea why I was in that section, nor why I picked up the book. I probably absorbed a few occult ideas via H.P. Lovecraft before that. I have no idea any more. The most I can say is that one day I found a book about Dr John Dee at my local library.
