Magic Forums

I'm just curious what people read. Who you read does reflect on how you perceive and practice magick. Even if just one paragraph in a book reaches out to you, that author has in fact, influenced your way of thinking (pertaining to a certain subject).

Although I am looking for magick, myth, faith, and philosophical orientated literature, there are many like Yeats who are equally inspiring. So list away!

I'll go first. Socrates is by far, my favorite philosopher. Aristotle and Ovid would be a close second. I read Buddha for inspiration.

I also enjoy Jung and for a bit of fiction, Edgar Allan Poe. I can recite his poem "The Raven" without a book in hand.

For magick I am extremely critical. I don't keep many but read them, make notes from what I found interesting, and discard them. I use my notes to research even further through as many sources as I can get my hands on.

I do have a great respect for Freyja Aswynn and Thorsson aka Stephen Flowers. I also enjoy the ramblings of Agrippa.

Most of my reading material are dead authors or have no author at all. The oldest writings I can get my hands on intrigue me most.
