riverwind's Department Of Pagan Thought: Exerpts From our
Personal Library
Welcome to the hall of pagan studies. You will find a goodly
number of Occult and Pagan oriented materials here, along with
several works of philosophy. I am a thirty three year old student
working toward a master's degree in counseling. I am a wiccan and
a scholar; erudition is my main goal in life. I am blind, so the
vast bulk of the literature in my possession is in the form of
electronic text.
I have collected this matterial for several years now, and I
would like to share it publically with any and all interested
parties. I don't claim authorship of any of the
matterial presented at this site. The names and contact particulars
of the authors presented here will always be provided, so long as
I have such information available to me.
Any questions or comments can be sent to the following
address.
Well to begin with, we have the Egyption Book Of The Dead, in
five parts.
Here is The Book Of The Orilinda in its entirety, complete
with pictorial illustrations. This book describes humankind's
transition from a goddess oriented matriarchal society to a
patriarchal one, governed by kings. What happened to the Goddess?
How did we lose touch with her?
This file is provided in its unaltered entirety, so you may
wish to download it and read it at your leisure off line. It is a
fascinating collection of spells, history and unique commentary.
There are eleven more such grimoires at the site belonging to the
authors of the book located in this cyber library. It would be more
than well worth your time to pay them a visit.
This book offers a great deal of theory and practice issues
for the novice occultist and the seasoned student as well. This too
is presented in its entirety, so you may wish to download.
Before moving on to another section in the library, here is a
site devoted to Faery related artwork that you might wish to visit.
This next section of my library is dedicated to gnosticism. In
this section, you will find several links that will give you quite
an extensive introduction to this particular school of thought.
It's quite fascinating really. I believe that I have provided a
varied introduction to Gnosticism with the links which I am
presenting here.
This next page is dedicated to astral projection. Here you
will find fifteen separate lectures which provide one with an
excellent introduction to astral projection. I am presenting this
material in zip format in accordance with the wishes of the author.
I'm sure you'll find this to be a bit more than fascinating.
Feel free to visit our room devoted to Michelle De
Nostradomus. There is a collection of eight rather lengthy articles
regarding his prophecies and our modern age. I am quite certain
you'll find it most fascinating indeed. Note, we take no
credit for the authorship of the articles in the Nostradomus
collection.
This next section is dedicated to the writings and to the
followers of Carlos Castaneda. Here you will find sites containing
information about Toltec Spirituality and modern Shamanism. All of
these sites provide a tremendous amount of wonderfully fascinating
information, and I hope you enjoy thesem.
You are encouraged to visit my celt's page. Here you will find
an ever growing collection of articles originally published by the
Dalriada Celtic Heritage Trust. I have no idea if they are even
still on the internet, but there used to be a site where these
articles were first stored. If you know their address or any other
contact particulars, please let me know. I do not wish to be
suspected of plagiarism.
I thought I might devote a section in the library to a few of
my more favorite sites. They are both highly informative and
fascinating.
These next two links will take you to sights where you will
find ancient occult transcripts that have been painstakingly
scanned, edited and presented for your enjoyment and edification.
Please allow me to recommend a site developed by my wife and
I, which is dedicated to the Faery Folk. There you will find a
large collection of links to the sites of others who are scholars
of the ancient ones.
Here is a copy of the Book Of Enoch.
Someone has kindly given me access to their Angel Tarot page, and
so I include it at this site for those of you with an interest in
the tarot.
I am an avid reader of gothic type literature, and so I must
include a link to the Online Gothic Library. The owners of this
site have done a wonderful job of collecting and producing a more
than respectable collection of literature relating to the mystical/
paranormal. I hope you enjoy it as much as I.
This next page is devoted to Classical Literature, fairytales
and other types of folklore. I don't believe that any lover of
literature is a stranger to folk tales, because that's where the
love of literature truly begins.
Here are a few links to some of my more favorite sites. I have
taken pains to provide a wealth of material in my personal
possession, and I would also like to share the work and material of
others, with you the visitor.
