A bit of a break from usual content - this week is a shelf tour of my books. Though, I actually forgot a whole set of shelves for all my science books, oh well! Shelf tour starts after a little introduction at 07:42

I have commented before that every time you post a video my collection gets bigger. Whoa... slow down. Ok, fine. I guess I can watch this repeatedly, pausing in different places along the way, using full screen to catch titles and publishers. I have been collecting and studying for thirty years on my own. You make me feel like a total noob. Thank You!!

All I have apart from the Christian books are the Midrash Rabbah, Artscroll Siddur, and English translation of the Shulchan Aruch and a swathe of academic books on the intertestamental period and Jewish and Roman backgrounds to the New Testament. My favourite books are on the Pharisees by Neusner and also by Saldarini.

This reminds me of my bookshelf, with drink ware and knives, but your saké cups beats what I have and half of my shuriken are rusting in the woods somewhere. I'm surprised you have no books by R. I. Page, Don Roley, and Masaaki Hatsumi, but I'm glad to see you read Joseph Gies and Francis Gies, great books. What your library is missing are architecture books. Buildings Across Time by Fazio, Moffett, and Wodehouse can be found under $10 but Tuttle Publishing's collection of books are great.

Love the channel. I really enjoy the videos on the topics of Hermeticism, the Grimoires, and I think it was a PGM video that first made me a fan of your channel. Your humor is a nice touch as well. Just curious, how do you pull off implementing a marxist/communist economic system without authoritarianism and violence? How do you get the people to just give up their individual sovereignty and private property? Other than a slow indoctrination of a peoples children against their will and to muster the patience to wait a couple generations while trying to preserve their parents ignorance to prevent violent resistance ? Honest question. I respect your opinion. I'm just lost on how Marxism has become such a widespread ideology in America and what becomes of a conservative capitalist who desires to conserve the progressive achievements of the past rather than the perpetual dissection and purification of classical liberal values such as equal opportunity in favor of authoritarian "equity"? Being a Hermetist influenced by Neo-Platonism I'm familiar with the dialectic but do not agree with it's application within our culture and society as a whole. It just seems to me like a violation of the individual. I feel the application of the dialectic to be more appropriate when used to recognize the flaws in your own personal beliefs and life experiences. If you destroy everything that isn't perfect in the pursuit of perfection than you do not end up with perfection, you end up with nothing. That sounds like the apocalypse to me. Have you considered these possibilities in your adoption of Marxist ideology? PS . I'm not a fan of techno fascist corporatism either.

In the process of reading all of that and probably more since I also like Sci Fi, Poetry, Chinese Medicine, Heirloom Sewing, Bodybuilding and French / English Reformation History: I have found that when discussion EXORCISM in particular, arises: there are 2 books I quote again and again (other than the Bible of course)~ these are the works of the Friar Sinistrari who was an italian speaking monk that participated in the Inquisition. And, the various and sundry German (Reformation) Infernal Dictionaries. Those are both really amazing resources, for actively discussing who demons are, and what can be done about them (if anything). It would be an immense pleasure to you hear your lectures on those subjects; either seperately or together. The Inquisition, itself, is quite a gordian knot. Sinistrari's books are hard to come by and collectable (other than the one that is often free online in PDF, Demonalitry) ~ Generally, I would characterise both sources as written by Exorcists, but they each have their own respective approach. There is also a book called The Grimoire of Pope Honorius III (do you have that? Its not hard to come by) which is a bit of a cross between the 2, its a German Reformation Exorcism Manual, but it also has hints of the philosophies of Sinistrari. He essentially believed that demons were licentious elementals.

It's a working library. I always like seeing other people's books, and of course the little random things with the books like a family photo. That is a nice touch. Also the cups and the dice and the horns. I remember reading some of those theorists like Lacan, Foucault, Derrida, and a lot others in graduate school when I had to take critical theory (as part of my English major). Not always pleasant, but I had to stock up that toolbox. For me, interesting to see I've read some of those works in philosophy and theory (seems so long ago now). As you said, that is a lot of philosophy (but I understand it is a lot of your life and work, cool). I smiled when I saw the pins and buttons as I collect some of those as well. I have a lot of them on my work backpack. Great to see. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry I missed this when it originally played, but I'm glad to see it now! I think the only category of books that I truly surpass your collection in is RPG books--my D&D collection is immense, as is my Palladium stuff! I also have more of my own subject-specific things, not surprisingly (e.g. medieval Irish, Celtic Studies, gender and sexuality, etc.), and some of my classical Greek and Roman history, texts, and studies, perhaps, but all of your esoteric things far outstrip mine. It's truly impressive and enviable! If you'd ever like to do a discussion of Irish medieval texts with someone, I'd love to do that--that's my Ph.D., essentially, and if you'd like a PDF of the book based on my dissertation (Werewolves, Magical Hounds, and Dog-Headed Men in Celtic Literature), let me know, I can make that happen rather than you spending hundreds of dollars on it! ;)

Kathleen Raine's 2 vol Blake and Tradition is a wonderful set if you ever come across one. I also collected as they came out, and have loved reading over the years, the 6 vol Princeton *_Illuminated Books,_* which are as wonderful as you would expect, though Raine holds a special place in my heart. I also learned a lot from Damon, Eerdman, Essick, -- Also really enjoyed the biographies by Bentley and the one by Peter Ackroyd. Blake is one of those authors that really require a lot of dedication and literary criticism to better grasp, and even with all of that, many time he is a bit of an enigma. I just try not to overthink it and look at the basic symbolism in the images and words.

Just got around to watching your shelf tour. Very interesting. Kind of surprised not to see Teilhard de Chardin in your rather overwhelming philosophy section. Maybe you just didn't call him out. For a child of the sixties like me he was de rigueur. When it comes to non-western philosophy, I suggest a look at Sufi mysticism. "Quest for Red Sulpher" is interesting. It's the life of Ibn Arabi. And there's an entire series by Hazrat Inayat Khan. But my choice is Idries Shah's teaching stories; "The Exploits of the Incomparable Mulla Nasrudin." A kind of Sufi Aesop. Enjoy, and keep developing your excellent series.

I'm jealous. Forgive me. You should consider doing a short vid on the Simonomicon. I agree that it's a silly mess of crap but it would be fun to hear your scholarly take on it.

I collect lots of occultism, philosophy, poetry, science- all things creative perception. Your channel aids in that.

Dear professor, I've always wonder what your rabbi's position was on your studies of these topics. Now that I read about rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, it all makes sense.
