Help me celebrate the anniversary of my birth by supporting my work and sharing the library!

Howdy everyone! Here’s a public summary of my activity this week ending May 19, 2023!

This week I did a bunch of work on creating new entries in Hermeneuticon, and improving a few existing ones.

Also, on a personal note, this upcoming week is the anniversary of my birth, so, if you’re not a supporter, consider becoming one on Patreon, Ko-Fi or Bandcamp (and I’ll give you perks in thanks!). If you’re on social media, consider sharing your good thoughts about the library and liking and sharing a bunch of library posts and post your own links to pages from the site and blog. If you know people that would like to hear about the library, let them know! That’s the best gift you could get me.

And, as always, I worked on various other things I’ve not specifically mentioned on website, blog, and more … Enjoy!

Thank you for visiting and being a guest of Hermetic Library. You help me be of service and make the work of the library meaningful. Especial thanks to each and every ongoing Patron on Patreon, Subscriber at Bandcamp, and Member on Ko-Fi for making the work of the library possible!

Help me celebrate the anniversary of my birth by supporting my work and sharing the library!

And on the blog

All the quotes, reviews, &c. (But not OG, Events Calendar, Zine, &c.)

• Fucking things could barely kill a dog, but the scientists had acted like Spetsnaz strapping them on their thighs. Three hard men ready for the mission, yes? No. And here Yuri thought this would be over before supper.—Patrick Todoroff, A Prayer to Saint Strelok: a tale from the Exclusion Zone
• Success is thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not over much! Them that seek to entrap thee, to overthrow thee, them attack without pity or quarter; & destroy them utterly. Swift as a trodden serpent turn and strike! Be thou yet deadlier than he! Drag down their souls to awful torment: laugh at their fear: spit upon them!—Aleister Crowley, Liber AL vel Legis sub figura CCXX, The Book of the Law, III.42
