My Grimoire Research Library

this is a list of my major resource I've referenced/am currently referencing in my big grimoire project. For books I'll be linking the Goodreads page, for pdfs, websites and videos i'll link them directly.

There are plenty of generalised practitioner resources that can work for everyone but as I have Irish ancestry and worship Hellenic deities quite a few of my resources are centred around Celtic Ireland, ancient Greece and the Olympic mythos. If you follow other sects of paganism you are more than welcome to reblog with your own list of resources.

Parts of my grimoire discuss topics of new age spiritualism, dangerous conspiracy theories, and bigotry in witchcraft so some resources in this list focus on that.

'Taylor Swift'

Tim McGraw: The moon like a spotlight on the lake

Teardrops On My Guitar: As I turn out the light I’ll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight

A Place In This World: Got the radio on, my old blue jeans

Stay Beautiful: He smiles, it’s like the radio

Our Song: I look around, turn the radio down

Our Song: When we’re on the phone and you talk real slow cause it’s late and your mama don’t know

Our Song: I’ve heard every album, listened to the radio

Our Song: When we’re on the phone and he talks real slow, 'cause it’s late and his mama don’t know

'Fearless (Taylor's Version)'

Hey, Stephen: They’re dimming the street lights

You Belong With Me: You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, she’s upset

Forever & Always: And I stare at the phone, he still hasn’t called

Jump Then Fall: We’re on the phone and without a warning, I realize your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard

SuperStar: So dim that spotlight, tell me things like I can’t take my eyes off of you

SuperStar: You sing me to sleep every night from the radio

The Other Side Of The Door: Going through the photographs, staring at the phone

That’s When: Then through the phone came all your tears

'Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)'

Mine: Do you remember all the city lights on the water?

Dear John: Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone tonight

Never Grow Up: I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

Never Grow Up: I tuck myself in and turn my night light on

Innocent: Your string of lights is still bright to me, oh

Ours: Elevator buttons and morning air

Electric Touch: Got a feeling your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life

Electric Touch: In the heat of your electric touch

Electric Touch: I’ve gotten used to no one calling my phone

'Red (Taylor's Version)'

State of Grace: I’m walking fast through the traffic lights

Treacherous: Two headlights shine through the sleepless night

All Too Well: We’re dancing around the kitchen in the refrigerator light

Stay Stay Stay: I threw my phone across the room at you

Holy Ground: Took off faster than a green light, go

The Lucky Ones: And the camera flashes make it look like a dream

The Lucky Ones: Another name goes up in lights

The Lucky Ones: ‘Cause now my name is up in lights

Begin Again: Turn the lock and put my headphones on

The Moment I Knew: Christmas lights glisten, I’ve got my eye on the door

Girl At Home: I see you turn off your phone

Girl At Home: I wanna see you pick up your phone and tell her you’re coming home

'1989 (Taylor’s Version)'

Welcome To New York: The lights are so bright but they never blind me

Wonderland: Flashing lights and we took a wrong turn

New Romantics: We’re all here, the lights and noise are blinding

Is It Over Now?: Did you think I didn't see you, there were flashing lights

'reputation'

Delicate: Phone lights up my nightstand in the black

Getaway Car: There were sirens in the beat of your heart

Dancing With Our Hands Tied: I’d kiss you as the lights went out

'Lover'

Cruel Summer: Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine

Cruel Summer: So cut the headlights, summer’s a knife

Lover: We could leave the Christmas lights up ‘til January

Miss Americana And The Heartbreak Prince: Waving homecoming queen, marching band playing, I’m lost in the lights

Miss Americana And The Heartbreak Prince: Running through rose thorns, I saw the scoreboard and ran for my life

Miss Americana And The Heartbreak Prince: No cameras catch my pageant smile

Miss Americana And The Heartbreak Prince: No cameras catch my muffled cries

Cornelia Street: As if the streetlights pointed in an arrowhead leading us home

Death By A Thousand Cuts: Chandelier’s still flickering here 'cause I can’t pretend it’s okay when it’s not

Death By A Thousand Cuts: I ask the traffic lights if it’ll be all right, they say, “I don’t know”

Soon You’ll Get Better: In doctor’s office lighting, I didn’t tell you I was scared

ME!: I know that I went psycho on the phone

It’s Nice To Have A Friend: Video games, you pass me a note

'folklore'

Cardigan: Vintage tee, brand new phone

Cardigan: Dancing in your Levi’s, drunk under a streetlight

Cardigan: I knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired and you’d be standing in my front porch light

This Is Me Trying: You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town

Betty: Stopped at a streetlight, you know I miss you

The Lakes: These hunters with cell phones

'evermore'

Dorothea: A tiny screen’s the only place I see you now

Cowboy Like You: Now I’m waiting by the phone

Evermore: Motion capture put me in a bad light

Evermore: I rewind the tape but all it does is pause on the very moment all was lost

'Midnights'

Maroon: The rust that grew between telephones

Snow On The Beach: This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen

You’re On Your Own, Kid: I touch my phone as if it’s your face

Midnight Rain: And he never thinks of me except for when I’m on TV

Paris: Let the only flashing lights be the tower at midnight in my mind

Other Songs written by Taylor

All Of The Girls You Loved Before: When you think of all the late nights, lame fights over the phone

Christmas Tree Farm: In my heart is a Christmas tree farm where the people would come to dance under sparkling lights

Christmases When You Were Mine: When you were putting up the lights this year did you notice one less pair of hands?

Only The Young: You brace for the sound you’ve only heard on TV

[maeviuslynn]

This is one of the best times of the year to grab books from Llewellyn. They have a 50% off sale going on until 1/1/24.

Link: Llewellyn Books

In addition to Mat Auryn and Jason Miller's books that are always quick to make the list, I wanted put some more book recommendations on your radar. In no particular order:

* Llewellyn's Complete Book of Ceremonial Magick - This is an amazing primer for anyone interested in ceremonial magick. It includes author contributions from David Shoemaker, Stephen Skinner, Chic & Sandra Cicero, John Michael Greer, Brandy Williams, and others. @dshoemaker93

* Modern Magick by Donald Michael Kraig - This is a classic for any magical practitioner's library. 

* A Year of Pagan Prayer by Barbara Nolan - This is a fantastic resource for yearly practice and writing your own rituals and rites.

* The Magick of Food by Gwion Raven - A great read for any magician or practitioner who loves food and is looking to get the most out of their magical meals.

* Low Magick by Lon Milo DuQuette - I want everyone to read this. Lon is most known for his work in ceremonial "high" magick, but this is beautiful and accessible exploration of magical methods and tools for practical use. 

* The Witch's Path by Thorn Mooney - This one is a great read for anyone who has struggled with magical burn out. Despite it being witch focused, I regularly recommend this to ceremonial magick people because the advice and tools are just as helpful for us too.

* Seal, Sigil, & Call by Jim Mascaro - This is its own thing and his own system of magick that he developed. If you would like to read something very fresh and approach your current work with new eyes, then this is for you.

Tour My Bookshelf.

Thank you so much dear @antares0606 🤗

An estimate of how many physical books I own:

Oh god, hundreds. 

Favorite author:

Tolkien, closely followed by Stephen Erikson,  John Connolly, Tad Williams and Julian May. 

A popular book I've never read and never intend to read: 

Harry Potter series. I did begin the first one and just couldn’t become interested in it. 

A popular book I thought was just meh:

A Song of Ice and Fire series. I read them all up to a Dance With Dragons and because they were so convoluted I re-read them and the more I did, the more depressed I became. My overarching memory/feeling is violence, rape, mud and blood and grimness.  Anyone who’s heard me eulogise over the Silmarillion would be laughing but the ‘feeling’ of the Silmarillion is so very different and much grander and more glorious than people stiffing each other over a throne.  (see also: Elves).

Longest book I own:

Probably the Lord of the Rings illustrated hardback though some of the books in the Malazan series by Stephen Erikson are well over 300,000 words. 

Longest series I own all the books to:

John Connolly’s ‘Charlie Parker’ series, 22 books. 

Prettiest book I own:

Unfinished Tales illustrated hardback. 

A book or series I wish more people knew about:

Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Stephen Erikson, The Saga of the Pliocene Exiles by Julian May and Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, 

Book I'm reading now: 

The Narrow Road to the Deep North, Matsuo Bashō. ‘He writes of the seasons changing, the smell of the rain, the brightness of the moon and the beauty of the waterfall, through which he sensed the mysteries of the universe.’ It’s so beautiful. 

Book that's been on my TBR list for a while but I still haven't got around to it:

Lightbringer by Pierce Brown, the latest in his Red Rising saga. I tore through the previous books then waited for this release so should probably read them again to refresh my memories.

Do you have any books in a language other than English:

No, I can’t read in another language I’m afraid. 

And lastly, paperback, hardcover or ebook?

Hardback for reading indoors (except when reading in bed, as I once dropped the hardback Lord of the Rings onto my nose!) paperback for those times when you take a book just in case.

WHAT IS THE BLACK HOLE INFORMATION PARADOX??

Blog#256

Saturday, December 24th, 2022

Welcome back,

A black hole’s event horizon is the ultimate last-chance saloon: beyond this boundary nothing, not even light, can escape. But does this “anything” include information itself? Physicists have spent the best part of four decades grappling with the “information paradox”, but a group of researchers from the UK thinks it can offer a solution.

The researchers have created a theoretical model for the event horizon of a black hole that eschews space–time altogether. Their work also supports a controversial theory proposed in 2010 suggests that gravity is an emergent force rather than a universal fundamental interaction.

The information paradox first surfaced in the early 1970s when Stephen Hawking of Cambridge University, building on earlier work by Jacob Bekenstein at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, suggested that black holes are not totally black.

Hawking showed that particle–antiparticle pairs generated at the event horizon – the outer periphery of a black hole – would be separated. One particle would fall into the black hole while the other would escape, making the black hole a radiating body.

Hawking’s theory implied that, over time, a black hole would eventually evaporate away, leaving nothing. This presented a problem for quantum mechanics, which dictates that nothing, including information, can ever be lost. If black holes withheld information forever in their singularities, there would be a fundamental flaw with quantum mechanics.

The significance of the information paradox came to a head in 1997 when Hawking, together with Kip Thorne of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in the US, placed a bet with John Preskill, also of Caltech. At the time, Hawking and Thorne both believed that information was lost in black holes, while Preskill thought that it was impossible. Later, however, Hawking conceded the bet, saying he believed that information is returned – albeit in a disguised state.

At the turn of this century, Maulik Parikh of the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, together with Frank Wilczek of the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, US, showed how information could leak away from a black hole. In their theory, information-carrying particles just within the event horizon could tunnel through the barrier, following the principles of quantum mechanics. But this solution, too, remained debatable.

Now, Samuel Braunstein and Manas Patra of the University of York in the UK think they have formulated a tunnelling theory that looks rather more attractive than Parikh and Wilczek’s theory.

“We cannot claim to have proven that escape from a black hole is truly possible,” they explain, “but that is the most straightforward interpretation of our results.

Normally, theorists dealing with black holes have to wrestle with the complex geometries of space–time arising from Einstein’s theory of gravitation – the theory of general relativity. In their model, Braunstein and Patra say that the event horizon is purely quantum mechanical in nature, with bits of quantum “Hilbert” space tunnelling through the barrier.

"WHAT IS THE BOOTSTRAP PARADOX??"

[catilinas]

do you have any recommendations for readings you think ought to accompany lucan's pharsalia? (i am especially hoping for readings that might explore the historical context, as we didn't talk about the battle of pharsalus in my latin classes.)

hi! i Do. for historical context you are extremely in luck because lucan's imperial world: the bellum civile in its contemporary contexts ed. laura zientek and mark thorne is a whole book full of Exactly That. there's also a section in brill's companion to lucan ed. paulo asso on literary contexts which might be interesting but i think is less relevant to what you're asking! for book-specific stuff, reading lucan's civil war: a critical guide ed. paul roche is v useful too.

you might also like lucan and the history of civil war by a.w. lintott in oxford readings in classical studies: lucan ed. charles tesoriero. in the same book is lucan/the word at war by john henderson which is mostly incomprehensible to me but i still reread it like. monthly. but it is worth trying to hopefully pick up at least 10% of The Vibe. + i am a massive fan of the chapter unburied past: lucan's bellum civile in abused bodies in roman epic by andrew mcclellan.

for conflict(?) between lucan and caesar's narratives of the civil war A Lot of scholarship will reference poetry and civil war in lucan's bellum civile by jamie masters, even if masters does eventually argue that lucan was a caesarian, so like. important book but one that has Some Big Problems In It. responding to that is lucan and caesar: epic and commentarius by andrew zissos in generic interfaces in latin literature ed. theodore papanghelis, stephen harrison, and stavros frangoulidis. there is also caesar in vergil and lucan by timothy a. joseph in the cambridge companion to the writings of julius caesar ed. lucan grillo and christopher krebs. but also a Lot of reading lucan against caesar involves close reading of what is Not There. so you could also just read caesar's account of pharsalus (BC book 3) and think very hard about e.g. the fact that he never mentions the name of pharsalus at any point. ever.

also i know i say this in every ask about lucan but. ideology in cold blood: a reading of lucan's civil war by shadi bartsch was the first scholarship i ever read on lucan and i think it permanently changed the shape of my brain.

hopefully that is vaguely helpful! feel free also to dm me if you need help Locating Pdfs of any of these (i am beset by one million lucan pdfs) :-)

BBC Big Read List

Many years ago, I first started tallying the books from the BBC Big Read list, seeing how my reading and interests correllate. I don't take it as the "one truth" on which books are worth reading or "good", I just find it interesting which ones I agree with. Let's go!

Read: 57 Want to read: 60

Some of the books to read I know very little about except the title and that they're classics, some others I know a lot about (and I even have "Men at Arms" on my TBR pile for when the mood strikes me next). I like reading classics once in a while, but especially older ones I can't read too often, I need to be in the right mood for that style of writing.

The last time I updated this was in 2015 and I had read 44 and wanted to read 72 - so 15 books in 9 years xD Like I said, it's not a challenge or a goal to read all of them, just a convenient way of keeping track of which classics I want to read eventually.
