I hope you will find it as illuminating and insightful as I did in writing it. Some practitioners of the occult believe that to practice the occult you must descend from a bloodline or tradition.
This book reports otherwise. To practice the occult you must be willing to experience the unimaginable and seek the truth beyond all facade and self-delusion. The book tells my story, but it is the story of anyone whop dares to encounter the marvelous and wondrous world that faces us every day and seeks us as much as we seek it.

Here is a short excerpt from the book:
The Comforter
Who is this divinity pregnant with the power of Good and Intellect? Why does she emerge from light as our Mother spreading joy, dispelling sorrow?
She is light; a light that travels billions of years to fill our eyes with knowledge, our bellies with food, and our limbs with warmth. She commands daemons and spirits that cultivate green earth and glistening streams.
For all of our precise categories of thought and measurement of reality, we cannot comprehend this divinity so filled with light and love. She speaks dark words, brings omens and dreams, and radiates reason nurtured in mystery.
It is written that if the oxen painted their gods, they too would look like oxen. And when those with little vision paint theirs, they paint the divine to reflect themselves.
She is infinite. The light reflected in our souls from Her paint and glorify the world.
She unbends a crooked world into a path of light leading out of oblivion. At the abyss of hopelessness, boredom, and despair, she manifests as light and knowledge and consoles our souls and minds with compassionate words. She guides us to sanity in all that we do.
“No life is worthless, all lives shall be saved,” she sings as she guides us along the paths to union with the incomprehensible, unknowable source of all, the Transcendent Good.
She seeks the lost and desperate. She consoles those who fear who they are and seek their true face. She molds the soul of the good, they who are one with heart and will.
The poor, the orphans, the enslaved in body and mind, the oppressed beings of all worlds - all are dear to Her. She takes Her place in the hearts of the ones dragged by their hair to the square and their throats slit like sacrificial lambs.
The wolf in its lair, the buffalo on its prairie, the mockingbird in its swamp - they too live in worlds beyond time. They too are reborn in the eternal cycle of life from birth to death to life. They too command Her love. She plants the light in the eyes of those who crawl, walk, or fly.
She guides them as they seek the courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom to live lives that the Good has gifted them from before time.
