I want some Top Tier beginner books on occult shit. Like, I wanna see if there's some actual logic to them, or if they're just random hocus pocus written by delusional writers or con artists. I figure at the very least I'll get a good laugh out of it. Or I'll learn how to use TK or something, so it's all good.
All kidding aside, I'm already studying the sciences, so I figure looking into the "other side" wouldn't hurt. Even just for historical reasons.

Aha. Taken all the notes. Thnx anon.
>>18959444
Alright, proper books, nice!

>Prometheus Rising
Does Moores' Promethea count for something? He's a freaky Wizard.

Man, the art for Hellblazer was fantastic.

For the most part, yeah. It's truly a shame that Post-Nu52 the title has been utter rubbish. I never expected anything to come near the Vertigo version, but...
You know, it's strange, but have you noticed that the majority of the "best comics" are supernatural/horror books? Hellblazer, Sandman, Lucifer, Mignola's work, Preacher, Promethea, etc, etc.
Bumping for K N O W L E D G E.

Writers with an interest in the Occult tend to be better and more widely read than other writers outside of academia. This naturally extends to comics.

Logical enough. Apart from the classics, Hickman's been doing a bang-up job with EoW & BMM. Dunno about any occult stuff, but he does his research.

Second the Ophiel book. He's eccentric, and great.
J.W. Dunne's book "An Experiment With Time" is also a great read.

That seems more like a metaphysical/scientific book with a "twist" rather than an occult one. Not that I'm complaining, since I'm already studying that (not reached that level yet, I'm still at my 2nd Semester, but you get the point). So thanks for the suggestion kind anon!
