It's my birthday.

This is what my wife bought for me (it is not here yet).

Books

• Psychic Witch by Mat Auryn 
• Utterly Wicked by Dorothy Morrison
• Spellcrafting by Ann Murphy Hiscock
• Glamour Magic by Deborah Castellano 
• Mysteria Magica by Denning & Phillips
• The Zenned Out Guide to Understanding Auras by Cassie Uhl 
• The Art of the Occult by S. Elizabeth 
• The Secrets of Solomon by Joseph H. Peterson
• In Focus – Lot of Four (Astrology, Meditation, Palmistry & Numerology)  
• Earth Magic by Marion Weinstein
• The Lesser Key of Solomon by Joseph H. Peterson 
• What Witches Do by Stewart Farrar 
• The Encyclopedia of the Occult by Lewis Spence

I'm most excited for the last two. "What Witches Do" is a 1971 first edition and "The Encyclopedia of the Occult" is a 1988 copy.

I’m thrilled (and always a little nervous) to announce my book A Witch’s Book of Days (September 2026) is available for pre-order from my publisher Crossed Crow Books. If you enjoy my daily posts on holidays and herbs and writing — in the book you’ll find a similar perpetual almanac of meaningful days (with daily practices!) in offline form. (It should be available to preorder from Bookshop . org and other retailers soon.)

This is cool and all, but have you seen Internet Sacred Texts Archive? You can read the whole Lesser Key of Solomon or The Upanishads. Or learn this.

Did you know?

• Of 32,000 verses in the Bible, only five directly mention homosexuality.
• The Qur'an only directly mentions homosexuality once.
• Leviticus, the book of the Bible which stipulates death for homosexuality, requires the same punishment for adultery, pre-marital sex, disobedient children and blasphemy.
• The Biblical Jesus does not condemn homosexuality.
• The destruction of the Biblical city of Sodom was due to their mistreatment of strangers.
• The Bible never condemns same sex marriage.
• The Biblical David and Jonathan had a formal same-sex union.
• 'Traditional marriage' in the Bible includes polygamy.
• No known sacred text forbids same sex marriage.
• Very few sacred texts even mention homosexuality.
• Hindu and other far eastern sacred texts do not condemn homosexuality.
• Homosexuality is not unnatural, it is practised by hundreds of species of animals.

This page indexes resources about LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) issues at sacred-texts. This page deals specifically with the subject of LGBT people in sacred texts. For an overview of the positions of various religions on this topic, including historical and current beliefs, refer to this page at the Ontario Consultants for Religious Tolerance site [external site].

References to the scriptures are being used as the backbone of much of the heated discussion about gay people in a way that has not been seen since the Scopes evolution trial. It is thus crucial to examine the actual texts, and the context in which they were written. This page, which has taken months of research to write, provides all available scriptural quotes on this subject, with links into the full texts, also available at this site. Also included are the complete text of several books on the subject, scanned specially to provide background information for this page.

The creator and founder of Internet Sacred Texts Archive, John Bruno Hare, passed away in 2010 https://sacred-texts.com/jbhobit.htm

But he did this

Approximately a year prior to his passing JBH established a structure for perpetuating ISTA and keeping it alive and free to the public. Additionally, ISTA plans to continue to add texts, products, features and services consistent with JBH's directions. While ISTA is run and maintained in accordance with the structure that JBH chose, its ultimate fate resides in the hands of its readers, who access it daily. By supporting ISTA itself (or by contributing to the mission of any of the deserving Public Domain projects listed here) you can be part of John Bruno Hare's vision for preserving humanity's Public Domain spiritual works as civilization enters the Digital Age.

Which is more than I've ever accomplished.

August 14th, 2025

"In 2018 we brought you some exciting news. Thanks to a generous donation from Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown, Amsterdam’s Ritman Library—a sizable collection of pre-1900 books on alchemy, astrology, magic, and other occult subjects—has been digitizing thousands of its rare texts under a digital education project cheekily called '#HermeticallyOpen.' We are now pleased to report that the first 2,178 books from the Ritman project have come available in their online reading room."
