Occultpunk posts a review at “THE HERMETIC LIBRARY ANTHOLOGY ALBUM – MAGICK, MUSIC AND RITUAL, VOL. 2”
“A must-listen for fans of Coil and Current 93. I particularly like the tracks by Rev Chloe Kalombinah and The Psychogeographical Commission’s cover of Coil’s ‘The Lost Rivers of London.’ For $3.33 for a six track album, this is an affordable way to enjoy and support the Hermetic arts.” [via]
You may be interested in Voices of Gnosticism and The Gnostic: A Magazine of Gnosticism, Western Esotericism and Spirituality put out by Bardic Press. I saw several issues of The Gnostic at the Esoteric Book Conference and thought they were well done. I regret not picking them up at the time, but they are available still.
“For several years, Miguel Conner has engaged the most prominent writers and scholars on Gnosticism and early Christianity on Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio. These interviews with 13 leading scholars represent one of the best ways to get to know ancient Gnosticism, the movement that has inspired Dan Brown, Philip Pullman, Philip K. Dick and The Matrix movies. Read what the best minds have to say about the Gnostic sects, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Judas, Mary Magdalene, heresy, the origins of Gnosticism, and the original teachings of Jesus.
