The Vast Library That Is Hermetic.com

BY: Mark

I should start building pages for the things that are on the links page, so that it’s clear why they’re here, as well as a personal reminder of how much useful information the Internet has to offer. Case in point: Hermetic.com. Claiming as their mission the act of “archiving, engaging, and encouraging the living Western Esoteric Tradition,” they’re building a virtual library of all manner of useful texts, including a fairly substantial Crowley library.

They’re also a nexus point for a number of personal sites about the Golden Dawn, the O.T.O, Dr. John Dee, Enochian matters, Chaos Magick, Qabalah, the Tarot, Thelema (and the list goes on).

I hadn’t realized they’ve got all of Crowley’s Equinox material up there (wherein I finally found the picture of the Silent Watcher I’ve been looking for for the last six months). If you’re not obsessed about finding first editions, you can’t go wrong with online versions. (The link there goes to Blair MacKenzie Blake’s book on being a Crowley bibliophile, which I’m currently reading and enjoying quite a bit.)
