Occult Study Guides
One of the things that I noticed was that many people avoid many occult classics or just read them, and yet get very little out it. Currently I’m reading “The Tree of Life” by Israel Regardie, and before that I was reading “The Mystical Qabalah” by Dion Fortune. Reading these texts I can see that it’s easy to understand why many might avoid these works. They are written in victorian style full of wonderful (but long, and boring) descriptions, and unusual adjectives. Nowadays this style of writing is not something that we are use to.
Seeing how Fortune’s work gave me some problems I decided to take notes while reading Regardie’s work writing down the main points, and researching the different topics that he covers in the added footnotes. This lead me to an idea. I will post these notes on here as I go through each chapter. It will be a sort of study guide although not in the traditional sense. It will be more like a collection of notes so that anyone reading it won’t get lost in Regrdie’s style.
Not only that but it will also help me organize my notes better, and understand the text better. I will be following IAO131’s style of posting his musings while walking posts.

They are great tool, inspired by Nietzsche’s chapter “Maxims and Arrows”from his Jenseits Gut und Boese”(Beyond Good & Evil) book. Trying to narrow a thought to its aphoristic essence is an exercise in itself.
