that's the thing, it's all just based on interpretations of nigh schizophrenic hallucinations or complete and utter bullshit from a mind that hasn't left the realm of savagery. if you want something with authenticity, you should seek it in yourself, develop your own rituals, craft your own totems, investigate cults as they exist this day, immerse yourself in experiencing these things, and you will find that rewarding in a way that old jewish books can't compete with.

Like Yeats? Please.
Although HE was able to turn muck into gold is scant guarantee that anyone else will.
Books do kindle, however. Dismiss a rage for 'accuracy' when reading and that really is the way the individual imagination discovers itself (what critics BECAUSE theyre critics call misprision). Vary your texts. Become eclectic. Bury yourself in the best words and rise up speaking your own language.
