Site Update: Moving Operations

Indeed it's been quite a long time since I had a post show up here and that's purely been my schedule all of 2018.

The major update I have to share is that I've decided to move my operations in posting new Paranormal Hub stuff to my book URL at www.phantomsfillthesouthernskies.com. The reason being that, while I like Blogger for use and development, its SEO operations have not been updated to modern internet protocol and I'm not getting the kind of traction I wanted. My Phantoms site is built in Wordpress which I also have experience in and has the kind of SEO tools I'm looking for.

I've not decided yet what then to do with this site, but I'll keep what's posted on at least for any archival value it may have.

Updates soon to come! Thank you!

3,500+ Occult Manuscripts To be Made Available Online For Free


Still too busy these days to post more regularly scheduled material for the site, but I'll still try to share some worthwhile things on-topic in the meantime.

This is one of them:

http://www.openculture.com/2017/12/3500-occult-manuscripts-will-be-digitized-made-freely-available-online.html

From the article: "Many a writer, like Brown, has found inspiration among the Ritman's more accessible works (though, sadly, Borges, who was blind in 1984 and died two years later, could not have appreciated it). Now, thanks to the Da Vinci Code author’s magnanimity, a new generation of scholars will be able to virtually access, for example, the first English translation of the works of 17-century German mystic Jakob Böhme, which librarian and director Esther Ritman describes as “travelling in an entire new world.”

In an introductory essay, the Ritman notes that academic interest in occult and hermetic writing has increased lately among scholars like W.J. Hanegraaff, who tells “the ‘neglected’ story of how the intellectual community since the Renaissance has tried to come to terms with ‘esoteric’ and ‘occult’ currents present in Western culture.” That those currents are as much a part of the culture as the scientific or industrial revolutions need not be in doubt. The Hermetically Open project opens up that history with “an invitation to anyone wishing to consult or study sources belonging to the field of Christian-Hermetic Gnosis for personal, academic or other purposes.” Look for the digitization project to hit the web in the coming months.
