understood, I've sold a lot of occult books to make shelf space for
academics who address things occultists have neglected, and am
grateful for their work. On the other hand I'm feeling increasingly
like a fish out of water here. My input may be appreciated, but as
entering academia is not my goal, the kind of feedback the forum
permits can be very frustrating. For those occultists who wish to
enter academia, it is likely different.
