An awesome exploration here! Happy to follow your approach and (induction?) to these topics from literature! Well on your way brother! Symbology and correspondences are of never-ending process. Don't let me catch you with your nose in a grimoire or correspondence tables! 😝😝 Intuitive flow is a path you a following well!
I'm so glad you watched! We've got to do another chat soon, lots of new books on my mind, and I need to hear what you've been up to! And trust me, the grimoires are only for research... which as you know is best done by trying everything out for yourself 😈
Always great to hear your thoughts. I want to read up on occultism now too. A lot of what you were talking about with gold and the Faustian stuff reminded me of The Recognitions by William Gaddis. Have you read that?
People overhype the difficulty. I had more trouble with Gravity's Rainbow, The Besieged City, and lots of pre-1800s stuff. But it's long and arduous and best read when calling to you for sure. I'd also recommend first reading Walter Benjamin's Illuminations and Henry James's The Turn of the Screw if you haven't already. What you talked about re: representation and ideals is a huge through-line for the whole book. The masks at carnival specifically is a scene right from the start of the book.
I have also made a switch towards the Occult as a form of truth-seeking, it's something I've made a long-term partial effort to study and it has massively shaped my current writing project. Will make the effort to read some of these reccomendations
I recommend checking out the Weird Studies podcast, from JF Martel and Phil Ford. Fair warning, you’ll need a wheelbarrow to fill up that Amazon cart after just one episode.
Super cool man. I think spirituality is supposed to be silly and not taken seriously , personally. One of humans greatest failures is organized religions - rejection of each other and taking life much to seriously

It's been burning a hole on my shelf for about a year. I feel i'm not ready for it, but I plan to read it when the time is right.

Awesome! Glad to hear you’re on a similar path. It’s such a deep field of study, so we won’t run out of material any time soon.

I just followed it! Yeah, I have a problem, I can’t stop buying books. And I’m mostly okay with that. Thanks for the recommendation!
