Let’s open this box that’s arrived at the Reading Room!
It’s a box of books courtesy of Red Wheel / Weiser, including multiple copies, for reasons, of the new edition of Tarot: Mirror of the Soul by Gerd Zeigler, the newest edition of Hermetic Library Anthology Artist David Shoemaker‘s Living Thelema, and more. I’ll post about each separately, but they’ve arrived!
Also, as a reminder, if you want to participate in postal exchange with me, I occasionally send stuff out to certain Patrons as a perk; but, even if you aren’t able to be a Patron, if you send something I’ll send something back! It’s that easy!
And, not for nothing, if you’re a publisher, author, or creative and want to talk about your work, get in touch!

A package arrived at the Reading Room!
Let’s take a gander inside!
It’s a stack of my Pulp Magick meme, upgraded a bit from when I first posted it to socials, and then put on postcard merch for Patrons and Postal Exchange! I created this based on the iconic image from the movie Pulp Fiction, but swapped in the heads of Aleister Crowley and Gerald Gardner instead, and some other touch ups to make it work.
I think that turned out pretty darn good for something mostly meant for funsies. It pretty much holds up even really close!
Looking forward to sending these out soon, but, um, yeah, so, I ended up having to order way more than I needed, so if you want one, just become a Patron on Patreon (or supporter on Ko-Fi, whatever they’re called) with any merch perk, or even just send me something in the mail for postal exchange, and I’ll send one to you too!

This is one of the missing volumes from the new OVO archive reflected at the Hermetic Library, and I’ve got permission from Trevor to make it available! I’ll add that to my to do list and get to it when I am able, but these are hard to get nowadays so I’m glad I was able to find this one. There’s still some others that I’m missing from the archive, so I’d love to hear from anyone with the old digital files saved on some ancient hard drive somewhere, or to talk with someone who’s got the physical issues and would be willing to share.
