Psychology's Primitive Tongues: A Thesaurus of Occult Linguistics
The Development of Correlative Thought, Vocabulary and Grammar
in the Western Mystery Tradition
This is my next project and it will begin with Kabbalah and Qabalah. But I still have dozens
more books to read first. I am also soliciting further suggestions for both links and books.
And, if anyone has any good ideas for grants, donations, patrons, or a combination of these,
please advise. This work might not progress very quickly at all without some modest funding.
