Greetings! My name is Ben Fernee. For the past 17 years I have made my living selling esoteric and occult books which gives me a superficial knowledge of various aspects of occultism. I have been actively involved in Thelemic scenes but now my esoteric endeavours are confined to cataloguing books (and on occasion manuscripts and correspondence) for sale and, in the near future, publishing occult books. What interests me particularly at the moment is the mentality of the occultist. These ways of thinking have the potential for being skilful forms of insanity, useful kinds of naivety and can create fertile relationships with the imagination. Often they are not, of course, and then the consequences can be sad. But when they are the results can be very interesting.. My interest is not academic but I am interested in the work of academics. Generally I suspect the relationship between the mentality of academics and that of occultists can be very complex.
