This project represents a work of LOVE.

All texts so far gathered, as well as all future gatherings aim at exposing

interested students to occult information. Future releases will include

submissions from users like YOU.

For some of us, the time has come to mobilize. If you have an interest in

assisting in this process - we all have strengths to bring to the table.

Complacency serves the old gods .

Take warning from the misfortunes of others, so that others need not

have to take warning from your own.

- Saadi, Rose Garden

When the camel of our efforts sinks into the mud, what matter whether

the destination is near or far?

The world has no being but an allegory:

From end to end its state is but a farce and play
