My reading of the Chinese Taoist classic, attributed to Lu Dongbin; and written upon wooden tablets during the Song dynasty in the 12th century by Wang Chongyang, one of his students. About half the contents of this book is the commentary by Carl Jung. Alchemy, yoga, meditation, lightworking, mandalas, astrology, and occultism...it's all here.

Video response to being asked for my back story.

My reading (D.T. Smith) of Hamlet's Mill (1969) by Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend, minus the appendices. This book is a must for lovers of comparative mythology and history. The authors have pinned the central and most common theme since pre-deluge storytelling of equinoctial precession and the axis mundi. It SHOWS the roots of all major religions in archaeoastronomy and astrotheology. My Latin and Italian are good, but there are some sporadic terms of uncertain pronunciation, so please forgive these, as well as some long pauses due to this edition's horrible editing and frequent punctuation errors.

My reading of the 1937 book by Julius Evola. Similar in theme to Hamlet's Mill, this earlier work examines cross-cultural myths of the pre-Christian Grail tradition, and how it all fed into hermeticism. Much of what Evola puts forth as speculation is right on. In other words, he knows more than he knows.

My reading (D.T. Smith) of the incredible work of Wisdom, Le Mystère des Cathédrales, written in 1922 and published in 1926.

My reading (D.T. Smith) of the early 17th century alchemical work by Michael Maier. I recommend listening also to the music written also by Maier to accompany this text, which can be found on youtube.

My reading (D,T. Smith) of Alan Watts' 1962 book wherein the author discusses drug use for expanded consciousness, not for mere kicks, and infused with his natural philosophical approach to sociological study and observation.

The story of Buffalo Bird Woman, a.k.a. Waheenee, a Hidatsa woman who here tells her own story to Gilbert L. Wilson. This is not an uploaded audiobook, and is my own reading (D.T. Smith), and so I appreciate you listening here on my own channel. Thank you!

My reading (D.T. Smith) of a beautiful short story by Yukio Mishima.

Read by myself, D.T. Smith. 1946 essay from Wilhelm Reich. Sharp, needfully brutal stuff. This man's life was ruined (and works suppressed) by the powers that be, whom he casually and shamelessly embarrassed. He deserves to be heard today!

My reading (D.T. Smith) of Jack London's 1918 horror fantasy.

Read by myself, D.T., Smith. You, the author's audience, are his story's secondary character, to whom he speaks directly in this lesser-known work from the man who heavily influenced H.P. Lovecraft. It brilliantly and amusingly questions and analyzes popular criteria used to distinguish high art from high artifice. His criticisms are as relevant to our day as his own. This is all at once: essay, lecture, short story, and literary critique. I heavily suggest this to aspiring writers, other artists, and whomever has embarked (or would embark) upon the Quest for the Holy Grail.

My reading (D.T. Smith) of the short story which I feel is a perfect way to, well, initiate...anyone of any age into the mysteries.

My reading of Aleister Crowley's Liber Astarte from 1913. Title and text say it all...

My reading (D.T. Smith) of Gerald Massey's 1887 lecture about the lunar origins of solar myth heroes.

Requested reading of the classic Hermetic work (minus footnotes), translated from Greek in 1880.

Reading by myself, D.T. Smith, of the Conor MacDari book from 1923. Relatively little is known about this author, but considering the content, we can safely assume why his works are cast aside. Those of you who appreciate the modern work of Michael Tsarion should also enjoy this. The list of Gaelic words and terms mentioned and illustrated in Chapter 10 appears at video's end.

Lecture from 1922 on Halloween's origins. This is not the generalized, Christian-edited nonsense most people are taught as kids. Mr. Kuhn gives us the Real McCoy.

A reading of highlights from the incredible Joseph Campbell book.

Read by myself, D.T. Smith. Translated to English quatrains by Edward Fitzgerald from original Persian.

This is my own reading (D.T. Smith), not a copied audiobook, so I appreciate you listening here on my own channel. Short story by H.P. Lovecraft

Title says it all.

Thanks to youtube's goofy filters, comments are misplaced or lost, and I no longer have this person's name who asked about a certain quote and therefore cannot respond via the comments section on that page.
